we know very well that the current treaties do not and that it will be necessary to the future of develop a structure more effective and different for the union , a structure more constitutional which clearly what are the powers of member states and what are the powers of the union . 
messages of concern firstly to the economic and social difficulties that we are , and this despite a sustained , result of years of efforts of the part of all our citizens . 
the current situation , particularly intolerable for number of companies of transport independent and for agriculture , must be improved . 
find a agreement on the processes is a good thing in itself , but it must ensure that this system cannot be of force of affects policy . 
also have to now clear rights they must respect . 
i am in agreement with its warning the return , which is , some the methods intergovernmental . 
we are much to a federation of to member united . 
the rapporteurs have stressed the quality of the debate and also the need to go further . naturally , i cannot that the join . 
i would like to thank all those who sympathetic accused of not have done this speech earlier . to those , i say that the vote of a speech before , it should know , , assess the armed forces , because that the speech policy must always be realistic and near the reality of the objectives and that we timetable . 
i would like that the we starting point of this cooperation strengthened to give some examples of the new european potential . 
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 draft regulation . 
the reports of the court of auditors european are also of meet these sous-estimations , of the greece the portugal . 
consequently , we have not voted for this report . 
in the defenders of these bus , are only better market and can be used worldwide , but they are also more ecological because their consumption of fuel by passenger is lower . 
the role of ' benchmarking ' and of good practice throughout the eu is also pointed out . 
a binding charter and overall , with the rights that it must be , risk of ask of difficulties to taken . 
i thank the two all for their tremendous commitment . 
we do not believe that this dialogue can already be completed to nice in least of 3 months , and the only reason enough to explain our refusal to accept the proposal to include the charter in the treaties to the summit of nice . 
the group csu the european parliament welcomes that the draft charter of fundamental rights brings together and make visible the fundamental rights of citizens to the bodies and institutions of the eu . 
it is to the image of the europe liberal built . 
in fact , course a freezing of this charter so that we can continue to the work , as the propose a great deal of ngos of different countries of the union . 
( a5-0248 / 00 ) by queiró , on the com ( 1999 hungary ( ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ) ; 
i would therefore also propose that the parliament is more , the next year , of report general but only reports national to show that we we attach to a continuation differentiated of negotiations . 
it is then that , on the basis of work which have been committed by the presidencies previous and by the commission , the french presidency will be able , at least i hope , of the give , in the european council of nice , a community precise the process of accession . 
i have said and the i am not to repeat the here , the french presidency , shy away no of difficulties which are , this which do not , of course means , that we have the time and the means of deal with each of them . 
this question is , of course , perfectly legitimate , but it must answer in and precise . 
the enlargement is a broad perspective that we must address with much of generosity and with vision . 
all the results of the igc does not meet to the enormous pressure is the enlargement of adaptation . 
the second major change which we have and which the europe must adapt is the acceleration of in the economic development to a world market and a global competition . 
fourthly : it is the principle of this that the member has started on the process have a good opportunity to make up those which have started earlier . 
in the areas where the considerable investment and long-term are necessary to achieve the standards of the eu , it should keep to the spirit that the current states have also , in of such cases , requested of 1980s transitional . 
in terms of security of borders and of fight against the crime are also our standards and the benefits of the european cooperation . 
look at the trade that it is now between the european union and the countries of central and eastern europe . 
i was pleased that the commissioner is finally to speak of inform the people to say that the fears outlined had not of reason to be . 
but a thing is clear - and i welcome that mr verheugen has the again . it cannot be of transitional period in respect of rules democratic . 
on this point , we need of the aid of the commission , because even if the will is there , the munitions are sometimes lacking . 
it is essential to that we can , as european union , we set the objectives for our own internal reforms . 
however , we are not agree with some aspects and essential questions . 
this runs counter to the european union , to its future by independent report to the north america and also to a policy of defence and security of common european , given that this creates the risks with the russia and other countries . 
we hope that there will of results and that we must not refer to a another igc this which must be done to that the enlargement . 
i shall be brief , as i have already been , as i have three minutes left of time in my first speech . 
it is very important and , of this point of view , i am pleased that the commission is to a campaign of information that the commissioner verheugen is to the time broad and decentralised . 
but - and this will be my last word because i wish clear : i am not a pessimistic in the area , i do is not ' small arms ' , i want a strong option to of the enlargement - to be credible , it must also be serious , it must also be understood , it must also to be the accession of the people of people , candidate countries as of our peoples . 
for the time , i see no need of discuss of financial on the enlargement . 
i cannot say to you the words of any of them . 
it is also for the same reason that they have also expressed the view of join the european union . 
we shall now give the floor to different rapporteurs . 
i am conferred the work of rapporteur on the estonia . 
in both member moderate , i am extremely carefully when it is of the taxes . 
only then , it seems to me , you could do a idea of this that the latvian have done in recent years . 
this is not enough ; the whole of the strategy must be more to the citizens . 
the lithuania has a considerable potential growth of economic sustainable . 
the direction the wider , this is to the cooperation of the european union with the russian federation . 
i come now to the other point : the support of the public , to the internal and to the outside of the european union . 
by continuation of a tax intelligent policy , the direct foreign investment is terror , the last year , to more of 5,45 billion . 
we should not we interfere , especially not other , we german . 
the democracy slovak development of a stable , this which has not always been the case . 
i am proposes , in this speech , of stress and adopt the six aspects of the development of the situation hungarian , which deserve to be highlighted in the perspective of the accession to the european union . 
i am satisfied that this issue has been considered in the report general on the enlargement presented by mr brok . 
it is also and especially the case in the area nuclear , where the legitimate concerns about the safety of nuclear and environmental risk of be used by the lobby anti-nucléaire . 
the training of a group to high-level is a measure that i commend to my colleagues . 
the report that i have the honour of you and which has also been adopted unanimously in commission , note that the part of territory controlled by the authority legal fulfils the copenhagen political criteria . 
to this end , a key role will , regardless of course the role of the commission own , to our solana for the cfsp , mr javier solana . 
however , the main problem which malta is is that the government and the opposition by differently the accession process and that the european union is committed to the language of this process . 
even between the usa and the mexico , the levels are closer . that is why we are , in the area of internal market , for a strategy considered , flexible and to the extent of the challenge . 
but that it is also allowed me to say my respect for the citizens of countries of central and eastern europe which had the courage , ten years , of off in the street and which have contributed to machine this process . 
the society of the information is important for the industry , old or new . 
we cannot not be blinded by the percentages of community law transposed in the national legislation . 
but the ten new countries of eastern europe have not of such uncle of america . 
this is also , and that is degrading , for the transport of animals to the slaughterhouses . 
for any legislation major , we are now to impose a assessment of impact on the health . 
my report for opinion must also speak of the european union and stress that the funds for the european regional development cannot continue to be granted on the basis of a simple division between the regions accounting . 
brok has started to rightly his speech in that we will be all the beneficiaries of the enlargement , in particular we which we are of this side of the external present . 
the development of transport water will be essential for internal reasons of environmental , because that we must avoid quantities of goods of the road , and if we cannot carry on the railways , we must the water . 
it has also mentioned egotism or of populism , and the reduction of the euro has certainly not helped to improve the things . 
the message that we want to give to the candidate countries is ' do not mislead by the scale of the issues and reports which are to you . 
unfortunately , it is in this time too of parties which have lost their ideology and which are therefore of a idealism inadequate and of a materialism excessive . 
is it must defer the right of acquisition of land and of housing to use reunification , différons-le . 
it is up to now , but is certainly threatened by the lack of transparency bureaucratic and the resistance clear , although not public , of some governments . 
where are the million jobs promised by the maastricht ? 
then that we are revise the treaties , some member call to a new reform already . 
the great majority of investigations international on this subject are member of gains in macroeconomic , linked to the enlargement . 
however , exception of minorities irrelevant , no group policy undermine the main objective of the policy slovenian , which is to enter the more quickly in the european union . 
if the union is increasingly quickly , it should the disintegrate strongly as it is proposed in the taken of the enlargement position on the eldr group . 
to my view , it is clear that the regime institutional prescribes has many consequences of long-term on the health of orphan . 
i therefore ask you to support the amendments this . 
and even , we politicians european , do not understand quite well the process of negotiation . 
cyprus will become a kind of bridge to the countries of the region . 
i hope the negotiators continuation of the success of their work in this area important . 
a second form of communication is also essential between our countries and the candidate countries to the accession of their explain this to that is the european union . 
we cannot afford wasted more of the impetus which was the beginning of years 90 . 
mr president , firstly , as rapporteur for the report socialist on the romania , i would like to congratulate the rapporteur for his excellent work . 
it is for the institutions , for the member states , for we all , of we to of this challenge , also by the report fears of our own citizens , and of regain the breath , the ambition and the vision of our founding fathers of europe . 
i have unfortunately the impression that , despite all the fine words and the many chapters that the council has examined , applied this process of enlargement is not supported or inspired the energy policy by necessary . 
of many countries of the union have tackles the problems similar to a moment or to another of their development and can advise the bulgaria to of the help to overcome those which it now . 
the democracy is not only a question of majorities , it is also a question of codecision appropriate of minorities . 
the candidate countries must be on a equally and their accession should depend that of their own development . 
in same time , we should acknowledge the efforts of countries such that the lithuania which catching up with , to say , and the time lost . 
we have therefore interest to extend our system of rights and freedoms of until romania and that is a argument to in the framework of the debate criticism with the european public . 
however , it is a question on which of the watchword is - to know that of the enlargement . 
my group supports the restriction of therefore periods of transition in environmental to a maximum of five years . 
mr president , it we must push positive to the enlargement . 
the debate is certainly open on the order in which these countries can join , because it will also check the progress of their internal reforms . 
i welcome the report on the very positive slovenia and the efforts made by this countries to meet the criteria of copenhagen . as of delegation , i have this repeatedly , all as the commissioner . 
to my opinion , the proposal is to be . 
these forms of violence and exploitation of women must be to condemned and controlled by all the resources , both in the eu that in the candidate countries to the accession . 
finally , i would take this opportunity to agree to number of colleagues , which i share the thoughts and the concerns , and stress the need to consider carefully the question of finally borders of europe , and the continuation of , by the extent of its enlargement , and that the opportunity , for the european parliament , of a special report to this subject . 
the minutes of the sitting of yesterday has been distributed . 
thank you . 
it is time we of to other of remind , rightly , in this house , that a europe of citizens must be a europe in which the community legislation protects their rights as it should . 
i shall put the request of the commission legal and the internal market . 
we know that these substances and products undesirable are very rarely of substances to the toxicity violent , but it is of substances which have to term in the body and which have a long life , such that the dioxin , the aflatoxines and the heavy metals as the cadmium , lead the and the mercury . 
it is not possible to find the guilty . 
if the allowing this dilution , it must the least in notify the services of control and it is of record that any further watering down these exist because this problem must be made public and to the subject of a public debate . 
it must stress the following : the crisis of the dioxin has been the result of crime against the existing regulations . 
mr president , i thank the members who spoke before me . 
this was a agenda . 
by example , for the fishmeal , the limit is different to that which is proposed for the products of animal origin not maritime . 
it is time to a interpretation of the principle of subsidiarity out which is increasingly increase the tutelage of brussels on our united . 
like the rapporteur , i think that all these measures is justified , as it is right to examine the case of these substances which it refers , which are not in itself , but toxic which increase the toxicity of mixtures . 
unfortunately , a good part of know-how over , the good sense farmer , have lost , in this era of industrial agriculture where the animals are more that the units of production and of goods . 
the new regulations will together , harmonise and simplify the health very detailed and complex which work scattered between of many directives . 
the number of people who want learn precisely what are the components , that is my research , relatively limited . 
secondly , the farmers , which are the producers of ingredients of feedingstuffs , are indeed a change to the future . , it must destroy a much more important part of their products of basis . 
the compensation is necessary , is clear that the farmers themselves are also very concerned the welfare of their cattle . 
the amendment 18 propose explicitly to include the water in the definition of feedingstuffs . 
on the basis of these different , the commission assessments will propose the member states of appropriate measures to limit the presence of substances involved in the feedingstuffs . 
the amendments submitted to the adoption of this house , i am grateful to parliament of its support in favour of the proposal . 
to sum up , therefore , the commission can accept fully amendments 27 of 15 . 
i assume that this time , they are not succeed . 
the commission has promised that it is working and it has also announced that this list is not prepared tomorrow . 
the farmers must simply know - and this , the less on request and in percentages - all this that contain these compound feedingstuff for animals and in what quantity . 
finally , i would like to warmly thank the rapporteur , the baringdorf , and that mrs roth-behrendt for their reports and hope that the council will adopt in the field a constructive attitude , so that we can achieve a transparent on the statement of feedingstuffs . 
all this , of course , because the tragedy of the bse which has been a real novel , to several chapters . 
the product , which affect the health of human and animal , are not acceptable . 
but let us start by the positive points . 
the proposal to the examination is the beginning of a number of initiatives which rely on the white paper on the food safety . 
thank you , commissioner . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
report ( a5-0248 / 2000 ) of me queiró , the behalf of the committee , the rights of the rights , of the common security and of the policy of defence , on the application of the hungary to the european union and the state of negotiations ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ] 
report / a5-0247 / 2000 ) by mrs winterbourne , on behalf of the committee , the rights of the rights , of the common security and of the policy of defence , on the application of the romania to the european union and the state of negotiations ( 1999 ) 510 - c5-0033 / 2000 - 1997 / 2171 ( cos ) ] 
lastly , and that is perhaps the condition the more difficult , the council must be agree on new arrangements of institutional which allow to the community of work effectively , and effectively democratically after the enlargement . 
even if the we approved the principles of the article 13 , it is clear that the legislation derived that the european union in is sometimes will very far , and that it is not of reason of the candidate countries a right to the differentiation cultural . 
i would like insisting on the fact that the process of enlargement must be gradual , the pace of the adaptation of candidate countries . 
. ( es ) in the context and the reservations which have started to be hear about the enlargement of the european union , it is important that the parliament is a clear policy for it . 
. the european union , since its creation , has vocation to bring the people . 
the criteria of council of copenhagen of 1993 , on the democratisation of the or capacity to support the strengthen competition , as the ' acquis communautaire ' , the is of a unbridled and destructive . 
a spiral in the enlargement , in these conditions , risk speed up the populist and as which are promising here and there . 
the agenda of this sitting contains precisely a report on the equality between men and women , which illustrates once again the situation poor of the acquis communautaire in this area . 
that could in fact denied the entry , in the house , of the european poland of copernic and of john paul , of the hungary martyred queen in 1956 to budapest or of the capital symbol , prague , when the democracies popular défenestraient the head of state and crashing the people of jan palach , set fire to himself to the freedom . 
a europe more extent , the tasks and the duties more many , has need of financial resources more important . 
i take this opportunity to greetings to the elderly and the pensioners of estonia , in the hope that it is of their livelihoods in the european union . 
i therefore see no reason for that the latvia is not join the european union , if it continues to progress pace and a time that the union will procedure adjustments of its institutions and of its political to the enlargement . 
i therefore see no reason for that the lithuania is not join the european union , if it continues to progress pace and a time that the union will procedure adjustments of its institutions and of its political to the enlargement . 
the progress are also clear , in the area of the environment , with the implementation of ' funds national for the protection del the environment ' and the application of the principle of ' polluter pays ' . 
by enter poland in the house common , the union will of justice to the respect of the new arrivante : a justice which it has long been too . 
i hope that the czech republic join the union quickly . 
. ( ) i welcome in the report on queiró the application of the hungary to the european union and i share the most of conclusions that is the rapporteur . 
i hope that the bulgaria join the union in a future not too distant . 
poos report ( a5-0249 / 2000 ) 
it is of a fair and balanced position that the council of ministers must take seriously . 
i hope , to this about , that the negotiations in the un can lead , of way to this that the people cypriots greek and turkish benefit , together , the benefits of the accession in the framework of a united republic . 
. i welcome the report poos sincerely on the application of cyprus to the accession to the european union . 
however , we , consumers , we , the stage of the food chain ultimate and are therefore the réceptacle final of misappropriation of counterfeiting and food . 
it very heart of implement , the european level , and practice , the food safety for the farm to the table , or for the farm to the fork . 
that is precisely because we are in favour of the development of relations of cooperation , brotherly greetings and really between partners really equal , between all the countries of the world , that we have not the intention , by our vote , of a support . 
the council in has informed the parliament before the vote in commission , but only just before it , in-depth deliberately any chance of re-examine the question with me or with the parliament . 
in my report , i request a representation wider and participation of ngos , a strengthening of the responsibility to the respect of the european parliament , the establishment of a report annual which must be discussed in parliament , a degree of transparency the highest possible level , the promotion of remember the past as instrument of fight against the prejudices and the recognition of the multiple discrimination . 
in the same time , the interests of justified workers must be addressed . 
as a very important is the social partners on the regulation on discrimination on the place of work , they are the more to even for the practical solutions . 
replying to my invitation access was time to be that coordinator of the group came to our charter . 
practice , because that the directives and the programmes of action are , of a part , the member states to combat the discrimination on the basis of same principles and , secondly , the commission to play its role of guardian of treaties but also of guide in the debate social . 
the legal basis of that release of appropriations for of new preparatory actions , their funding in this category could cut of funding of other policies . 
ladies and gentlemen , we have here a proposal of framework directive necessary , but inadequate , which we have the possibility of improve the mechanisms once again that a period of application is out . 
i hope that the commission , to the light of this new directive , is interest of closely to the sexual discrimination . 
i congratulate the commission , and that the authors of reports . 
i am satisfied with the opinion of the report mann on organisations to basis ideological of ask , if the staff , the requirements to the recruitment in report with this basis . 
the speed with which the institutions themselves of new powers of the amsterdam shows , commissioner , that the european union has always its status of pioneer on the plan of the equality , and it is for this reason that i would like to thank the commission european . 
the fact that it is in our society of discrimination of various kinds confirms the importance of the programme of action in presence , to this which is the report of mr cashman . 
mr president , the behalf of the bonino list i would like to express the laugh or cry that we have to the way the europe and the countries states deal with the issue of the discrimination , the racism and of the xenophobia . 
the commissioner can explain why the commission is not the ? 
the second problem that i would like to address is that the ngos , for they are important , are invited to attend the implementation , regardless of their size , of their nature and the actions despite . 
the group liberal and democratic has assessed all this positively and particularly the activity of parliament which has to insist , also and above all , on the prevention of phenomenon not only and on the good practices . 
this is a challenge for all , we because we we consider the other on a first impression . 
mr president , the fight against discrimination and the legislate that is recognise , and even that they are , for many of them , regulated ' ' because that trivialised . 
the first , the unctad , the conference for the trade and the development , has asked in 1963 to geneva the principle of inequalities compensatory , therefore of the discrimination . 
in fact , the information and the awareness are to this requirement , they must be a part should be to train and a new mentality , a new way of thinking and to be , so that these prejudice still escaping of way widespread in the population can be completely eradicated and that a real equality is guaranteed in terms of between all the right citizens . 
it is therefore of promote the two legislative initiatives discussed today , in improving however some of their aspects and in increasing the amounts for the financing of the programme , to reflect the importance of this policy anti-discrimination . 
in particular , the agreement on the principle of forecasting of adjustments reasonable , which the sweden and the ireland are the pioneers , will now ensure that the employers of the whole of the europe , adapt their places of work , are of special equipment and change their methods of work to offer a real opportunity to employees disabled . 
the article 13 is the point of departure of a new objective of the eu : combat the discrimination or the unequal treatment of citizens through the statement made in this same article . 
the second point that i would like to stress is the mistake gross made by the commission unfortunately with this first ' package ' in this sense that it has to establish a list of priorities the level of statement of discrimination . 
mr president , the discrimination based on the religion is unacceptable , as any other form of discrimination . 
as secular convinced , i cannot therefore me bring . 
however , the idea of recognise generous to every citizen of the maximum possible freedom , for all that it is compatible with the same measure of freedom for the other , still meeting today of the each of obstacles , and the other fact of law . 
the a of these directives has already been adopted to , and i think that the other has of good opportunities to be adopted in the presidency of french in november . 
some incompatible the legislation , as the amendment on the agreements of committees . 
however , i cannot accept the amendment 38 , which seeks to the article 5 of the list differences treatment on the basis of the age , which could be justified . 
you have mentioned the important question of the conformity contractual . 
that is the first time that we are allowing projects common in this programme of action . 
it is clear that the code will be more overall , it will be more effective . 
the article 7 of the member states code committed to prevent any transfer of arms to the logistics inappropriate . 
mr president , i am have the nostalgia the time when congress , the european parliament , but also of various crowds of pacifists and trade unions , of incentives to think and to act in the direction of a gradual reduction of the production of weapons , and where the we wondered how we talk of the military use to the use civil . 
given the situation in which are today the world and our continent , after the end of the cold war and the breakdown of the balance established by the terror of february , this would be irresponsible . 
these weapons are become , for and say , the symbol of the anarchy in many places in the world . 
the cfsp covers a activity to deal with the situations of crisis in outside the borders of the eu , and not anything which can be described as a policy of defence . 
their objective is to prevent the export of weapons to destination of governments accused of the rights of regions , in prey to the conflicts or of regions engaged in formula to the arms . 
the commission , in close cooperation with the member states , spoke to the development of the common action of the european union on the weapons small arms . 
the agenda is the communication of the commission on the area of the european research . 
introduction of actions extended ; intermediaries between the support of projects and the funding institutional , use of instruments to variable-geometry offered by the treaty , more particularly the participation of the union to the national programmes as is provided to the article 169 of the treaty . 
this that we want strengthen , it is this nature of hierarchy and this is the level of way of intervention . 
you say consider a review total the framework programme . 
i think that we need today of something which structure the area of the european research , that of something which is the framework programme which has in extra of national programmes , we need a element give some structure , this means that it must accept the formulae . 
on the considerations with the stoa , i believe that it must do something together , as the house , the joint research centre , the institutions of vision in the various member states are concerned . 
it seems that the commission is to not of giant to the implementation of the european area of research . 
it will be a chapter on all the sciences , the society and the citizens . 
of contacts were with the authorities of the greece , of ireland and the portugal to ask the government of these countries to speed up the presentation to the commission of their projects under the funds of cohesion . 
probably the lack of service that you , which was in the previous commission and which was devoted exclusively the funds of cohesion , do not have more specific elements . 
my second question is : apart from the funds of cohesion , it is the community support , the structural funds , the regional programmes , and so on . what of countries you received the projects final and programmes of what countries you approved ? 
in 1989 , the commission has introduced a new proposal to give more of flexibility . 
i have , of course , the arguments of mr bolkestein and i know that the rule of principle of treaties banned of tax the foreign more that the companies domestic , but the law of the general healthy competition in europe should apply and , when the levels of taxation are totally disproportionate , we should consider the fact that the legislation on competition can have on the situation , and this in spite of the general that it is of a prerogative of member states . 
if you want retain the fuel , it must be the via the taxes on the fuel , and not through other forms of taxation . 
i say to mr purvis that the question of disadvantages regional natural is probably the responsibility of national governments as a part of their electorate is in these regions and to the gap . 
mr president , commissioner , i thank you for this information . 
in the spring of the and last , the commission been brought to a general review of its activities and of its people . 
we have had some information in this sense . 
these children , in a higher proportion , are exploited by the tourists and of businessmen , which for a number of important them come to europe . 
the commission think that all the companies will be able to prepare for the time to move final to the euro , including on the adaptation of their computer systems and of their software . 
this debate philosophico-politique is more to the agenda but we can debate of general of dangers of a referendum , although perhaps in another context . 
this applies also to the impetus . 
a point has recently been sent the french authorities . 
on the candidate countries , i can you say that the meetings held with them on the subject of the transport of animals and that of agreements preliminary reached . 
the commission has however been informed in the season of sowing the spring of this year of the interception of seed imported of conventional varieties of different species , is of cotton understood , containing traces of gm seeds . 
however , after consultation of its services , i am able to inform you that the key of safety on computers to use private or professional are set by a directive on the directive , the directive ' low tension ' , and that by the directive on the radio sector and terminal telecommunications . 
however , is now give favourable consideration with me to say that the distinction made between the security the work and the security in class or the security for a child working home is in fact not a ? 
perhaps serrera-t-il the hand of president khatami . 
she is today of de facto been under house arrest . 
i am therefore reluctant to go further on the plan of trade or to advise other actions on the trade or the investment . 
no 15 of h-0769 ( / 00 ) : 
those which i said that were by example reference to some of meetings electoral which they had been . 
the questions 16 to 44 will receive writing . 
this that we would like , it is a report european consolidated , published and examined by this parliament . 
we should we focus on the transition to degeneration of arms and not on the way we will ensure our competitiveness by report to other countries of the world which produce of arms . 
the five states permanent the council of security , which are supposed to ensure on our security , should pay the listen to these proposals and negotiate in a arrangement really worthy of 21st . 
the debate of today is a important milestone in the process of reform that the commission prodi has initiated a little more of a year . 
i cannot help the impression that in its haste to produce a proposal in the deadline by the white paper on the reform , the commission has neglected to address properly the details . 
i therefore propose that the auditor and he produce all two reports of making account of their activities . 
the report van hulten accentuates more still , and with reason , the distinction litigated by the commission . it is a good basis for the exchange of best practices between the institutions . 
hope that this is not repeat . 
if we have a rule for the large institutions , then the principle of independence highlighted by the committee of wise men is everywhere . 
we have very often experienced in the past of situations in which the decision-making excessively long have led to proponents of the disappointment and the loss of confidence in the european institutions . 
i would like to say to mrs the commissioner that this report is that a transitional stage . this means that it is of the first phase of the construction of a bridge between the system of control which we have today and the system that we want after the reform have . 
that is the proposal which is before you . 
this is that when they are of the assume that the sampling , the procedure of sampling , which is often controlled , will be withdrawn . 
beyond the words , we are all aware that the task is certainly not easy . 
i believe obviously also that we are not qualified , or politicians or as technicians , for we can only work to the resolution of this problem . 
fortunately , the great majority of children and young people who in a environment free of such factors harmful . 
i agree with the president of the commission , when it the need to establish a such catalogue statutory ; it must , in my view , strengthen the principle of subsidiarity and it must therefore that the eu is entitled to establish the political in a great number of areas to which the political problems are not transnational . 
the information from the world and on to all the areas of the knowledge become accessible for the home in the time the very . for them , communicate with the whole world is a thing ordinary . 
arrested very quickly , they policemen : ' that is , in the funny broadcast on peak-time television , we are not take also easily ' . 
the legislator - i conclude here , mr president , cannot solve all , but it must sometimes remind the rights and the duties of everyone . 
i am very sensitive also the comments which have been made on the education , on the training to read the pictures , on the awareness of young generations to have a critical approach of media and to do not consume anything , any when , just . 
if a report as it fails to take , to improve the mobility or at least to start to down the barriers which are currently the mobility of the world of education , nothing will a impact more negative on their opinion . 
the problems to solve in the various countries are of diverse nature : by example , different rules in of , grants of study , right of residence , taxation and lack of recognition of qualifications and training courses . 
it is time that the europe , new to the implementation of programmes such that socrates and youth for europe . 
the experience in terms of mobility of students and teachers of show that the problems of real this mobility is are not so the side of the direction of the education but in the area of social authorities , tax and the immigration of . 
it has mentioned the socrates programme for illustrate this problem . 
it must be a system of inspection clear , a control clear , although this is done by sampling , and especially , a counter , a web page , where the students can table of complaints . 
we therefore demand the integration of the group target of researchers sectors of people right of recommendations . 
it is easy to the do in a speech , but not so in practice . 
the debate is closed . 
we appreciate your approach , to the as the president chirac or the minister both mr joschka fischer . 
the enlargement requires the strengthening and the strengthening allows and do not compromises the enlargement . 
( applause ) the europe has a cultural heritage , social , legal and scientific single fed by the variety and the vitality of components national . 
the proposal of resolution on the reports of the commission , on which you will you decide to all the time , is rich in the area . 
this is clearly in the report drawn up by the presidency finnish on women and the taken of decisions . the indicators that it has drawn up for the progress made . 
beyond of this conference of ministers and the meeting on the equality professional , two very important texts , specifically on the equality , but the council ' employment and social affairs ' deserve to be mentioned . 
the second is on the principle of non-discrimination , which that gender . 
in the framework of annual reports , i would like to add - and the president-in-office has also raised this point - that a of main problems for the eu is obviously the existence of large differences cultural . 
the reports which it is here question also give this impression . 
we must ensure that the directive on the equality to be really in the legislation . 
i believe that this method , applied firstly by the finland , is useful in several areas and , therefore , that it is part of the strategy of the equality of the commission , we can expect in good . 
the behalf of the equality of opportunities , the french women have won , thanks to the europe , the right of the night work . 
as the french , this vision of the world to is particularly foreign . 
despite these comments , we vote this report because , of course , we support the equality , but the equality , that is the respect of everyone . 
those which undermines the mothers the freedom to their children will be paid without the bill later , in the form of crime juvenile and of vandalism . 
to this subject , i would remind our report on the splitting of rights of pension in divorce , so that the benefits for the survivors and the age of the pension ensure the directive of 1979 . 
the women polish we were very grateful specify that the representative which was now has not even shared the position of women polish . 
a greater presence of women to all the levels of government and in all the areas is essential to strengthen the democracy and to promote and maintain the peace . 
finally , i would like to mention the situation of women in the countries which are their accession to the european union . 
also the states of the council , and particularly the men who are sit , have here to take the essential task which is to lead europe in the fight against the the mafia which organise the trafficking of women . because this form of slavery is not the kind of problems which can be heighten the shoulders to the politicians responsible , and that they can hold back or neglect . 
we can take the reports and the speeches that we are today that the problem of the equality is , as much of the we knew , a problem of structures and that , for the address , it must of global strategies , because that the women are not a category or a group homogeneous social , and still less collective . 
it is true that i was a little sorry to see that mrs de belém roseira maria of the had more this post . 
two of you have mentioned of new social rights , of new rights tax . 
thirdly , they are the basis of a strategy for the european union , even for the charter of fundamental rights , the fact of have prepared to a view of the current situation has played a role important , but they also offer the opportunity in the national level , as the member states can now , thanks to the comparative assessment , define their objectives national . 
the debate is closed . 
it must see these amendments in the new context of the interinstitutional agreement and , therefore , the parliament can compromise does not in insisting on these amendments of comitology as that , of somehow , they have been exceeded by the new interinstitutional framework . 
however , i personally think that continues to the text approved in the time by the parliament was of the better budget which have had the internal market and of the liberalisation of markets , because the elements of clarification and of control that introduced the amendments not accepted ensured the respect of the more regulation and the application of same procedures . 
if we want that the third countries accept the compromise , the community european must be the first to apply to ensure the respect of its own standards , because that if a country has the opportunity to introduce of products on the market by the community smuggling , why sake the death of negotiate any type of concession with we ? 
of the same way , the amendment of parliament on the statement of people without papers , which has been adopted by the council , will the administrations of member states to equip the instruments of management warning the more modern . 
but it is too late now because the vote has just take place and the members have voted in its favour . 
votes ( continuation ) 
report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) mrs dybkjær , of the behalf of the commission of the rights of women and of the equality , on the annual reports of the commission on ' the equality for the women and men in the european union 1997 , 1998 , 1999 , ' ( com ( 1998 ) had 302 of its - c5-0106 / 1999 ) ( com ( 1999 ) 106 - c5-0289 / 2000 ) ( com ( 2000 ) 123 - c5-0288 / 2000 - 1999 / 2109 ( cos ) ) 
. this is not the first time that i speak on the mobility of students and the body teacher . 
this report is particularly important that it comes to a point for the european union , that of the enlargement . 
the discrimination fight is not by the creation of administrative services additional , but only in the head of people . 
. i have not voted the mann report , because it is indeed necessary to seek the equality of treatment of people in employment and of work , this is not to the zeal of abandon protection of freedoms and all respect of the member of law . 
is a secular convinced , i do not support this proposal . 
the snp welcomes this directive and of its objective of to end to discrimination on the place of work . 
if we want to the directive acceptable and something , it cannot be overburdened of literature and of wishes which have not their place in a legislative text . 
the eplp has however strong reservations of for the following areas . 
some elements should also , to our view , be left to the discretion of member states , such that the general application of the organisation of , for the workers training of some groups of age , the nature of the system of mediation , and the way the smes must interpret the directive . 
in this interview , hulten , rightly pointed out that only the resolution of problems as the fraud , the waste , but also the lack of efficiency in the decision-making process , we will of start with a positive agenda . 
the reasons of the direction of my vote we do , in particular , to the question of rapprochement between the european union and the nato and the impetus given to the policy of common defence . 
it is also the exports of arms european as a means of resolve the future conflicts local in the areas of the geographical neighbouring europe . 
however , i cannot accept that people the need of a policy of common defence and of a policy of european security and defence . 
the children are the first victims of the violence to the television . 
i welcome the implementation of this study . 
a group of experts will also been the community level . it is the creation of a memorandum establishing the general principles for the protection of minors in the context of media . 
dybkjær report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) 
it is particularly interesting that , for the first time , taxes on alcohol the need to continue the assessment of the efficiency of the way of political initiatives annual reports of the commission . 
peru 
mr president , the peru present times of uncertainty and we are all the hope that the current situation is resolved by means of a process , guaranteeing all the civil and political and contributing the strengthening of the democracy and of the peace in peru , where 25 000 people died in the fifteen years . 
the word in question is the word ' democracy ' . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the conditions in which took place the elections in peru in may of this year were unacceptable . 
b5-0793 / 2000 , of b5-0130 and other , the behalf the group of the united european european , on the situation of women in afghanistan . 
i welcome that the report contains some points clear and precise on the situation of women and that it draw the attention on the need to try to intervene to prevent that the taliban will continue its work of discrimination total of women . 
the eu has a task important . 
it cannot be recognition of the part of no member state , both that will be maintained the policy of violation of human rights , especially of discrimination systematic to the respect of women . 
we must take account of this reality , in the european institutions , and the fact that the cultures of drugs are used to buy of weapons . 
it will support however of way resolved the countries neighbours , to improve their possibilities of drugs . 
i think that the are of remind the need that the european union begins to shape a policy overall to the countries of latin america which could perhaps avoid that these countries cross periodically situations of crisis as those that some have known . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the commission and the house welcome the release of father text spanish alejandro matos castro the last week . 
b5-0782 / 2000 , of mr haarder , the behalf the group of the liberal , group , on the macedonia : legislation on the education and the universities . 
that is why we are very pleased that the problem of the education has perhaps finally found a solution really positive . 
for my part , is particularly a good example , for all the countries neighbours , show that the education is not that spread to the hatred , as this is the case the more often , but that it can also be the cradle of a peaceful multi-ethnic coexistence . 
i would also liked this solution is approved by all the parties represented in parliament . 
i can perhaps take of the opportunity to stress that the commission has already been is congratulate of its cooperation with the high representative , mr van der stoel . 
we are not this debate today only to express our deep sorrow . we are especially to examine the this which happened , what are in the causes and how we will remedy the situation , how can we , as commission and parliament european , ensure that of such events do not occur again . 
in any case , mr president , we agree with this proposal resolution that we support as is euro , the title of the urgency , and on the basis , it will of course , of this that i mentioned earlier . we are in disagreement with the amendments which have been tabled also under the urgency . 
for the amendment on the conditions of work , it is a directive on , the wording of the amendment is not also satisfactory that the text . 
it is simply unacceptable for the islands north and of the west of scotland , as the route to the potential of crossing of of to the european continent which will , i hope , the inaugurated in future . 
i am pleased that the greek government has now cancelled this exemption . 
therefore , to the continuation of tragically parcels were watching , the commission has asked the greek government immediately of provide clarification on the application of community law in force . 
i would like to raise the question of know , and i ask you to clarify this with the bureau , if , after the abolition of friday , the abolition of thursday has not already started to a hand . 
this problem is not resolved and as it is not the , the international financial institutions - the imf and the world - will not help the democratic serbia . therefore , it must also work the level of un with the countries of the former yugoslavia to find an agreement which can make a , when the time of the freedom beginning in serbia , the aid economic - through the imf and of the world . 
in these moments will perhaps be play in the streets of belgrade the advent of a change democratic where the use to the violence can be avoided . 
we condemn all the acts that can be seen as a provocation , in particular on the holy places to jerusalem . 
the middle east , we , the european , have made a effort - venice , madrid , oslo , stockholm - and we have really supported the promotion and the development of this process . 
the fact the more shocking is the use of bullets of fragmentation by the police and the israeli army ; these bullets , which disintegrating in the body in tens of pieces and which are banned in the international level , even in the fighting between the soldiers , are now employed civilians . 
i believe that the europe can and must do much in this sense , with clarity and decision . 
it must therefore be to stop all the fire in over the possible . 
the provocation such that the action sharon must not happen . 
that is to the new case today , and it is this which prevent and has prevented the europe , in all these years , of play a role of the middle east mediation , abandoning this role the only united states . 
we do not sacrifierons the serbian people to our noble objectives moral because this could mean the death of thousands of people in serbia and in yugoslavia . 
finally , madam president , i propose to send a delegation , and therefore that a new government yugoslav formed , to establish the plans of reconstruction of a new serbia in cooperation with this new government . 
madam president , ladies and gentlemen , we are of course a historic day in this parliament , which will perhaps the end of the pillars of a recent of a dictatorship totalitarian in europe . 
mr president , it is a problem , the german version of blu on the urgencies - i do not know if it is also the case for the other versions - contains only the amendments of the proposal , but no of resolution , or even the common text . 
mr president , i should just like to draw the attention of my colleagues on the reams of which shows what we documents have been need for the votes of this week . 
if the parliament could propose amendments to the decision of the council , it would underline the probably unemployment and the social problems in croatia which are due to regime austerity imposed to this country . however , it is not of legal basis for of such amendments in this context . 
that is the opportunity of claim the same objectives on the activity of the eib . 
mr president , we have discussed yesterday evening , within this house , the question of the serbia and of revolutionary changes which there . 
i hope also convince my colleagues , and especially the council , of remain , in the negotiations of coming on the budget for the next year and the years following , true to the proposal of the commission , which , in my view , is to this day the best estimate of costs in global croatia and in other parts of balkans . 
in 1990 , the elections held democratic in this countries were considered fair and free by the international opinion . 
i say yes to the financial aid , yes to this guarantee and i strongly the commission to help massively this deeply european countries and now really governed democratically and that the principles of the member of right , to the involve the candidate to the accession , because i believe that the croatia has earned our unconditional support . 
all as the rapporteur , i wonder if the funds to this end will be really available , especially that this enormous funds must be made shortly to the serbia and that the budget of the union is not reviewed to the increase . 
the delegations of parliament croatian and the us have also invited the council to extend the mandate of the eib . 
i hope that the contacts is noueront quickly and that , as for the croatia , a aid will be given the serbian people , which deserves our respect . 
( the minutes were approved ) 
in this same spirit , we call on the women of the european parliament to participate in this delegation : there will a call tuesday and wednesday and we that the signatures and the participation in the delegation , in the intention of express build , between women , of bridges of peace where is the violence . 
in the whole , it was more of suffering for the basque and for the spanish ; it is certain that the spanish and the basque are tired of the current conflict . 
madam president , you you recall that , in the last session , i mentioned the situation critical of a activist democrat , the british james mawdsley , , which was held illegally by , . 
madam president , in my , i would like to speak in fact the regulation . 
in reality , this report apparently technical , which do not make seems of great change of policy on , is extremely important because , it , it introduced the possibility of adopting the genetics in viticulture and therefore to lead to a viticulture gm . 
if we do not support the report , it will be of delays . 
the council of state - as you have said - the has rejected this use and we duly informed of this rejection . 
but today the situation is repeat and is a colleague , of course the ppe , but not of my camp policy in italy . 
that is why we are actively for the introduction of a scoreboard social , as it has been the case for the internal market , with the measures clear , of deadlines and the possible . 
i hope , madam minister , that the council will be inspired by the expectations of parliament and that you will succeed , at the summit of nice , to set ambitious objectives in a european social agenda which we can then we work in the . 
to the continuation of the council informal ' employment and social policy ' the 8 july to paris , the presidency had asked to the whole of stakeholders - parliament , of course , european economic and social committee , the regions , social partners , ngos , groups and committees of the council - of him their proposals . 
oppose the quantitative the quality is a false debate and lisbon has clearly set a dual objective : more of jobs and the jobs of better quality . 
it must encourage this mobility , all in ensuring the safety of vicinity professional . 
we must try summing up and describe the shortcomings of the system and , in any case , we must put in the agenda . 
we believe that the open coordination is the right way to a social europe . 
the implementation of ambitions societal set to lisbon is a community effort , a plan of action for the creation of jobs in the services , particularly those relating to the society of the information . 
the commission can of course provide a contribution important , but the problems are social anchored to the future , and we must deal with the greatly taking account of different contexts concrete . 
the social was as reviser of the more harmful effects of economic policies . 
the proposal presented by the commission would have been the best of without amendment - congratulations , commissioner . 
this is a ambitious agenda . i remember that we still have made painfully on social protection in the previous legislature . 
i think that this will be very positive and will help the women to reconcile family life and work . 
i sometimes the impression that , in the concept , of modernisation , we think often tantamount to the protection of its social substance . 
what are the fundamental elements of content ? 
it is still difficult to define the objectives which are also european in force for all the member states , since it is a reality diverse . 
49 amendments have been presented to the commission . 
it is therefore important that we provide of guarantees on the possibility that have the ngos to influence the process . 
another point is that the community must intervene more in the assessment of needs of additional initiatives , including , the commission , the adaptation of the regulation , the equality and the fight against the discrimination . 
this is not that the good ideas and the good plans to reach the equality have been in the past , but their implementation has often failed . 
it is not right that the voice of women is a handful of for exclusivity by professional of the demand living thanks to the public on a saline drip of . 
the equality of men and women in the life of civil , which allows the women of have fully the rights of the rights and freedom . 
i expect that the players male is deal finally and that they against the stereotypes and of roles of sexes exceeded . 
i believe however that we must thank the of have followed this debate , given that its presence was not provided during this debate . 
of competition policy 
we must offer to our companies possible so that they can organise their production and especially their future . 
they must have a broad choice of products high-quality sold to the price competitive : that is , finally , why it must promote the single market and , at the same time , the free competition , because that this has to all our citizens . 
it is of the grant or do not of aid in the sector of coal . 
the point 16 of the report riis-jørgensen mentioned the concern of the improve safety in the legal requests of mergers , and of make more rapid and the timetables for procedures . 
in all the case , it is the companies which must not their force to a fine management of affairs , but the positions of monopoly past and present . 
it is necessary to we involve citizens in the information on the policy of competition , so that it recognises the benefits in . 
they have a considerable significance for the employment and the regional policy and i hope that we understand the of to the future , so that these aid , the aid home , which have implications for the development of regional and the economy of regions , and where the transport take on kind , can be continued . 
this communication contains three important messages . 
i thank also mr evans for his excellent report on the regulation on state aid to the steel industry and on the eighth report of the commission on the aid of the union member in european . 
i would therefore reassure mrs palacio and mr karas , and that the other members have on these points , and their say that the regulation is account of their concerns . 
otherwise , we be serving our objective , to know promote the competition and the consumer , of a way perverse . 
the debate is closed . 
the mechanism of financing is the application of article 119 of the treaty this , which is in force in the third phase of the union economic and monetary only for member states which do not participate to the single currency . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i welcome that we can still discuss today of the proposal of the council directive amending the directive 68 / 193 / eec on the marketing of material proliferation of vegetative propagation of the vines , and i hope that the vote of tomorrow will be positive . 
some of them have launched , the 5 july , the call of beaune , where they are all their concern to the introduction of gmos in their profession . 
the rules that they provide are also favour to the production of a vegetative propagation material varied and the best guarantees health , this which is fundamental , to support effectively the restructuring of vineyards community , key point of the new com vini-viticole . 
it must the say very clearly , it was not necessary to gaver the articles of this directive of references to the directive 90 / 220 in revised , but to to promote to any force in the vines the genetic modification . 
i have the pleasure of inform you that we can also accept the amendments 35 to 40 , tabled by the baringdorf , which are to strengthen the transposition of requirements of safety and of management in the directive 220 / 90 . 
i would simply point out that the parliament has not been called to speak as such . 
madam president , it is on the point 14 of our minutes on the request of the closed of immunity of our college pacheco pereira . 
i will be more specific on the qualified majority . 
on the weighting of votes , the two options notorious are also on the table : weighting simple for which a slight , very slight majority , is confirms , or of double majority , but with different formulae , double majority simple or repondérée or a form of ' net demographic ' . 
furthermore , regardless of a assessment of needs of the coordination and of the economic and financial assistance to the germany , which will be given yugoslav jointly to the commission and to the european world , the council of european biarritz has decided to give to the germany yugoslav a first aid emergency of 200 million . 
you see , but ladies and gentlemen , if i were you say spontaneously and very sincerely my feeling , i would say this : what that is the sensitivity of these questions composition of the commission - and system of vote - this is not on this basis that we can measure the failure or the success of nice . 
also the positive was approval by the heads of state and of government of the charter of fundamental rights , but i must point out , mr president of the council , the reason which has made this possible approval . 
as we do not have to die of concern in this respect the spirit of nice , our priority for fundamental the 50 days that remain will be of the negotiations the level policy . 
in this sense , i would also like to my colleagues epp - and i ask to mr poettering of me listen - because this that we are in this house , we must defend the outside . 
of after this that we know of the first ministers and presidents to biarritz on the highly sensitive issues of reform of the treaty , the charter will probably the most achievement of nice . 
the council would really the expectations at european with a great consultation of people , the national parliaments , to achieve a charter which really needs to . 
it must therefore launch a invitation to all for the return origins of our union , have the courage that have been mr giscard d ' estaing and mr schmitt in deciding of the election unanimously of the european parliament in 1976 and in 1979 and decide that in 2009 we have finally a president of the european union , president of the commission . 
i would particularly , to this , respond to what mr poettering has said on the divide between the large and the small countries . 
i return to a word simply on the affairs of foreign trade policy , because that this is a matter very seriously . 
that is something of valuable which was stressed by all the states of the european council . 
another point very positive has been the adoption of the charter in its entirety . 
it is beyond , that on this crucial issue for the future of the european union and of its way of decision , biarritz has marked of points and we cannot that we in congratulate . 
i hope that we can still convince , progress , for the prevail on this point to nice . 
i quote two examples : firstly , it is the right the work of the right work and , secondly , a number of rights including in the social charter social revised the council of europe are not in the charter . 
it is clearly of debates which have everywhere in europe , including those of biarritz , that the member states the greatest seek , in part , to make pressure on the member states the more small to reform of the european union pursuant to the line policy followed by the member the greatest and also that their wishes . 
the two sides of the are proof to the negotiators that they are working towards bringing a fair balance . 
the leaders of the europe have not made of vision clear . 
a commission structured on the criteria of representation of each member betrays a concept little visionary . 
we would then a union centralised , which are the small countries less of influence that the system of countries have a two-chamber us in leaves the federal of small . 
after the summit of at sharm-el-sheikh , where all the parties were to find a solution to the crisis of violence and restore the dialogue between barak and arafat , we have seen , though , this if it seemed to succeed , it is extremely difficult to contain the violence . 
of bad whistle-blowers , of course , say to mr barón are of things which are not the real subject of the italy and of my party . 
it must that we can make progress in terms of taxation of energy in the europe . this last has blocked total , because the principle of unanimity . 
we cannot allow that there is a situation in which the small member in would soon have fear a shift to the solutions of directorate-general . 
i think that the convention has done excellent work of the and i am proud to have been amongst its states . 
in this second case of is , the question will be of know when this work principle of the rotation strictly equal between large and small . 
the extension to real issues of the vote to the majority qualified with the codecision , the preservation of the article 250 as is today , the place and the role of the commission in the cooperation and not only on the first pillar : that is of some elements which we will of judge directly to it is , ultimately , failure or success . 
mr president , thank you to jacques , of all , to delors , thank you to altiero spinello taught and to mr herman , thank you to all , of vaclav havel to carlo ciampi , of both mr joschka fischer to , mr jacques , of barnier to pierre moscovici , of patten said to costa simitis , via florence , and by the current members multitude of european which have adopted , from 1999 , the great movement for a european constitution . 
do not criticise too the europe market , and this is a socialist which you said the : it we has given more of wealth for all . 
let us prefer ourselves the least on this objective , and because we do , say how this . 
mr president , i have had the satisfaction of see that in substance , the proposals presented recently to the igc will in the same direction that the whole or a part of criteria that i have exposed . 
mr president , commissioner , gentlemen the rapporteurs , ladies and gentlemen , you wanted to see that we have , this morning , a debate on the issues which your house felt of group on to the igc that it adopted in april last . 
and , respecting the constitutional framework , it is existing difficult - i you say - of the provide more that a procedure of opinion advisory the parliament the time the outbreak . 
you know well , that we do some political choice , of a scope of more that the regulation of three requirements set out highest . 
i myself said that the formula adopted for the charter was a way to explore . 
but i understand that beyond the aspect of linguistic , your question was a other concern . 
that is also why i wanted to thank you , and on the substance and on the form , of the initiative that you have taken . 
the introduction of cooperation should not lead to the creation of new bodies which would be an extra to add the institutions of the union . 
it is time to revise the treaties . 
the refusal of the european council of incorporate the charter of fundamental rights of the union in the treaties , of make and these rights directive and of allow this way the citizens of the rights which would not been respected of access to the court of justice , european undermines this consensus fundamental . 
without this , we it not the europe of citizens , in my view . 
paragraph 8 : the constitution will - i quote - ' of questions left open ' . 
nobody has yet to explain this which would have changed since at . 
secondly , by report to a agenda , which has inadequate people of questions particularly important for the future of the union and the interest of the citizenship . 
mr minister , we would that to the eve of the revolution bolchevique - a event which should have disastrous everywhere in the world - the orthodox church makes russian was in a debate plunged the style of complex on uniform of ceremony to be for the carême . 
it is therefore imperative that the cooperation offer all the guarantees that the rapporteur has recommended , that they are open to all , in the respect of the spirit of treaties , and that they do not go against of the acquis communautaire . 
it is however a point that i would like to emphasise : it is not correct to demand or of favour the way the referendum compulsory in all the countries states for the approval of proposed amendments . 
we have had a debate very fed on two issues which , of that different , meet in a point . 
we are prepared to ensure that it be possible to the vote in of the session of november , so that the text can be adopted under the french presidency . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
that means ' the introduction of the possibility for gradually through the work part-time , ' if this is a threat on the age of the pension albeit too high number of countries in already ? 
the that the pensioners , as the children , like the jam . 
i have asked the pensioners who mandated here , the european parliament , with the party of pensioners is it their would like to drink gm . 
or even , by derogation , of put on the market of material of proliferation standard , when the needs cannot be covered by other categories . 
i therefore ask you , mr president : the the cost of work will do not , for this reason , they also a limit to the free competition in the european union ? 
it was therefore inevitable that we vote against this report . 
despite the measures taken in favour of a greater deregulation in the european union , the aid of the member always have a role to play constructive in the social and economic development . 
these aid can be necessary for the protection of the environment , the maintenance of public services and the guarantee of a level of income the people of equal economically disadvantaged regions . 
we underline the risk , after the enshrine the control of the eu on the aid of the member important , of see it targeting the aid of retail under the competition to smes .

if the so the be incorporated implementing the budget for the categories 2 , 3 , 4 and 7 , we note that only a average of 8 % of the whole of commitments are covered by the payments . 
it is three years , we are prepared through our initiative for the employment in helping the smes to achieve the venture capital . 
the parliament to make two ways of the . 
it is then only that the european institutions to meet their task . 
i take the opportunity to thank the vice-president responsible of budgetary questions , mr gerhard , for its constructive cooperation . 
we want that this committee is to same of work but we cannot tolerate that it is the place where the requirements of the european parliament , as of the budgetary authority , have the least of echo . 
this means that the president-in-office 2001 is the last year to and that is in this context that assessing the proposal of the commission and that we are proposing that the parliament . 
we want moreover that at the administrative expenditure . 
since 1985 - i say of 85 , , the commission of budgets of parliament is to achieve that the procedures of the european parliament take in account the impact of financial resolution that vote the parliament . 
i end , mr president , in thanking the other institutions for their diligence in the treatment of this declaration . 
you are today to you vote on a budget which has been already amended in first reading by the council . 
on the structural actions : the amount of structural assistance has been overall extended by the report budget 2000 . 
the attitude of the council to the respect of the review of financial perspectives is calm . 
of these different figures , we note that implementation of different on the plan purely quantitative but also , of course , on the plan of substance . 
to this , i must point out that , the last year , a new decision has been taken with the council the term of a long debate and i have in of this debate to . 
the financial planning decided to berlin for the period aware to provided remained unspent billion for the meda programme . 
i would therefore ask the council and to the commission of budgets of think in terms of foreign policy and not only in terms of budgetary policy , when they work of foreign policy . 
the second concerns the aid to the victims of make human rights which have need of treatment in the institutions specialised . 
if a solution of compromise will support the important work of the committee emac were to that in the time that we rest , we could still resolve this question and , the position of our commission remains open . 
it we enough for the we remind us of our very posts of television and that the middle east is a difficult period . 
that is why i hope that we will , in the vote , of tomorrow , to the majority necessary for the monitoring centre of dublin . 
mr president , the behalf of the commission of the agriculture and rural development , i would like to make a few comments and particularly to start , the subject of rural development . 
we have asked the approval of a credit indicative of two million for a campaign of information on the cfp . 
the commission european must negotiate with hard to achieve a reasonable agreement with morocco and the council and the governments concerned must they make a policy to support this negotiation . 
we consider today the budget 2001 , in which head in the images of the population serbian . 
in the whole , we would like that these amendments are approved . 
however , a way important by which the citizens can ensure that their concerns are taken in account is the appeal is the ombudsman , is the sending of a petition to parliament . 
i shall begin by speak of the budget of this house . 
to the surprise of many states of my delegation , we have , beginning september , established a platform unanimously strategic . and , the amendments 400 by some of my colleagues have been a surprise for of to the commission we of budgets . 
it is indeed difficult to imagine how of posts could solve the problem of management if , to the commission as the council , this are still tape of which are used to implement of many programmes . 
recent years , this parliament has regularly shown it was based on a thrift its work real . 
it is unacceptable to speak , for the years , of a very vague on commitments and of the reaffirm regularly if it is to say , when it is of do its auditors , that it is in too for and we must now short on our promises . 
if we do have some unfortunate that million on these lines , and we cannot not more , we agiterons , a carrot that we must withdraw when these people will really in need . 
as the budget of the year last , the budget 2001 was of problems insoluble : firstly , the pressure in favour of the consolidation of the policy and of rigour , as agreed in the interinstitutional agreement , to ensure the financing of the enlargement ; secondly , the sorely needs funding the pact of stability for the balkans . 
demand of best performance is more of staff . 
the adoption of this amendment , unamended , could begin to change the gives , but a majority of the commission of budgets has rejected this idea . 
and there , unfortunately , the examples are many : the treatment given to associations to vocation federalist or the many ngos to the according to the philosophy , and the operation of more questionable , the funding of political parties , european via the are taken in the prince-programme , to try to persuade the citizens of member states whether the euro of when the european currency is a loss of confidence largely shared by the european , of our friends danish the leaders of the european central bank . 
finally , mr heaton-harris has pointed out to rightly , in the amendments that it has proposed , the nature of many programmes unilateral european used the it is all a propaganda the citizen the subject of the european integration , and that to its own costs , includes . 
more of our systems , administrative must be modernised . we must also give the good example . 
the meda programme , on the mediterranean , area of the important strategic , is a good example of lack of capacity of implementation . 
when the talk of to the reductions or of take the of money to the heading 4 to give the resources to certain priorities , it must not forget what are the priorities of the house . we have made this is clearly in the vote in commission . 
this amount must therefore be of a clarification . 
thank you , mr wynn . 
this means that it is simply of real elements of flexibility for progress on this policy , even when someone is the can not , or is the wish not , and this which is for the countries of the union is also for the candidate countries . 
i think that the austria has not to complain of this which is the product is , of the contrary . 
the recommendations of regional and that the experience of countries neighbours can undoubtedly contribute to the definition of these resources . 
in 1984 , 0.2 % of owners colombians had 32 % of the land . 
the council is not here to comment on one aspect of this question which is extremely difficult and painful . 
in same time , we do not take this as a debate on the issues which are , once again , extremely complex . 
no 10 of h-0722 / 00 ) ( : 
therefore , i definitely would not of of give specific this difficult question . 
simply , we have the feeling , and your answer is a little , that the presidency of the council is not very proactive in the treatment of this question . 
therefore , the income of this tax is obviously not no . 
i too the apologise , but we will apply the regulation . 
if the side of the right chamber is remained silent , it is therefore that we have already treaty of these issues and previously our opinion it is to unnecessary of return , on the same issues in this chamber then that our time is valuable . 
furthermore , in the expectations of the adoption of this directive on the prevention of tse a decision of withdrawal of material hazardous to of these diseases has been taken in june 2000 , to prevent any progress new of the epidemic and to ensure the consumer the level of protection health the highest possible level . 
i have not other elements that those that i could give you all to the time . 
we are and we know of the work of the commission and the council on the erika 1 . but , on of this transition , which is known of two countries and had in the european union , which is a particularly difficult , given by of major vessels to make a few hours , with the risk of that old tankers come up and caused , i wish know , and especially the people of corsica , of sardinia have liked to know , it will be possible and if you to ban simply the changeover of mouths of bonifacio by these major vessels , these major containers . 
it is for this reason that i think that we must , in principle , support the proposals of the commission for the revision of the policy on staff . 
it must meaning of the money costs in the budget for the serbia and the kosovo . 
i hope , mr president , and i conclude , that we will still cut the lines of the budget of eur 50 million to finance the agreement of peace israel / plo . 
that is why we propose , the european parliament , of new measures are less to seek a new funding - we know that the current situation is not the allows - that to consolidate of new compromise interinstitutional which improve the quality of expenditure and ensure that this is no euro squandered . 
remember that in european policy , as in any other area , the options moderate stop sometimes of be majority . 
it is designed for overshadow rather that for clarify , and i have been disappointed by the attitude adopted today to the respect of the budgeting by activity . 
the fact of ventilation of the expenditure in function of activities will of the budget as instrument policy in which the breakdown of expenditure reflects the political priorities precise . 
we must find a solution multiannual to do not have , year after year , each time discussing how we could find of the money in favour of the reconstruction of balkans . 
those which here development of a sustainable agricultural sector know that the dynamic central of the recent reform , as has been agreed to berlin , ' are constantly ' of the aid to commodities the support of direct income of farmers . 
a budget , ladies and gentlemen , is always more of that a simple cycle of figures . 
finally , it is immoral , mr president , of reduce the expenditure for the agricultural policy , for the meda programme , for the socially-excluded , make the resources to finance the commitments of the european union in kosovo and in yugoslavia . 
in clear , it , that the serbian population is the cold and of the hunger in of this winter . 
furthermore , i would like to express my concern of see the various parliaments of young people integrated in the socrates . 
of course , it is also of the council say clearly that it is a part of responsibility in the development of inadequate some outside . 
it we must now a solution stable on these aid , especially when it is of their long-term planning for the balkans . 
i think that most people would be prepared to accept a such cost , to condition that this money is value for money . 
i share the concerns and arguments that the rapporteur , mrs rühle , has mentioned this evening in terms of research and of social aid . 
it is two weeks , in the jpa acp . 
in a same time , we want that funds are invested in the funds for the research and the information , in view of seek the alternative of production for the producers of tobacco current . 
i want to say clearly that the european union has had the influence the more direct and the more positive that we can imagine on the northern ireland , . 
in this model , the respect of standards and of procedures is guaranteed by a independent and , ultimately by the judges . 
we will , for the first time , a codecision in first reading on a text extremely complex and most of technical difficulties , on a sector particularly sensitive to the protection of civil liberties . 
it is very positive that the were not met in a single authority their tasks respective . 
is it by example that the system schengen has been more of ten million of statements on almost a million and a half of citizens , that europol is its powers constantly extended , clearing house the information from of different services of police of 15 member states , and this , in the only control of a authority which or the powers and the means are available to allow him to do really an . 
this said , i take of the presence of commissioner to say that it would seem to be appropriate to see not only of the protection of citizen by the new technologies report , but also of the use of these technologies to promote the capacity of the european citizen to intervene and to communicate to the respect of european institutions . 
the amendments nos 1 , 2 , 4 to 10 , 12 to 40 , 42 to 54 , 57 and 58 , 60 to 64 to the text of the council for the points where the commission can agree . 
naturally , therefore , that its opinion on the legislative proposals which concern the protection of personal data will be very valuable because it will be a contribution important the debate between the institutions legislative . 
the treaty acknowledges the outermost regions a situation economic and social difficult , exacerbated by the handicaps which the special constantly and the result are seriously damage the development of these regions . 
it will and to the promotion of economic and social progress thanks to a level of employment . 
i therefore welcome mrs sudre and maximise the how of proposals of the commission to that a soon of specific , according to the article 299 , paragraph 2 of the treaty of amsterdam . 
for much of european , some outermost regions are that the tourist destinations on the card . 
our rate of unemployment are among the highest of the union . 
i welcome that the commission has adopted a large majority to the amendments that i tabled . 
it is very important , to my opinion , that the outermost regions are included in the tens of transport , of the energy and telecommunications . 
the adoption , to the unanimity of states of the commission of the regional policy , the report presented by our colleague margie sudre is a testimony of the accuracy of the european parliament to a of its commitments the more important . 
we cannot debate of a number of circumstances and believe that from the point ideal and idyllic - let us and , will been achieved , it is more a of other measures in the treatment of these three areas and , more particularly , of which it is question here . 
this article , ladies and gentlemen , do we can certainly not of all to , but it we can of strengthen and , i think that it is necessary , to extend and improve our action . 
for the preparation of proposals which are necessary , the commission work course with the member states and the regions concerned . 
in these regions , we know , the ago lasting difficulties and i believe , therefore objectively , that their real level of development , that they will need the support of the lasting regional policy and of special measures . 
a meeting of this kind could again be organised in the course of the year 2001 , when we will be more advanced in the implementation of the programme presented in march . 
the presidency has said that it was closed and i accept the perfectly . 
i believe that the parliament is well of keep the current rules because that , as the has said another colleague , very often , indeed , this is not the machines which have not worked , but the members who have forgotten to vote , and if we could correct a vote by the result , we will end up in never . 
i am clearly this that i eating . 
in short , mr commissioner , in the more the of authority , it must that the services of the commission competent , in cooperation and coordination in member states , with the establish a system of controls uniform and effective in all the food chain and that the network of food laboratories of the european union is strengthened and work in coordination with the commission . 
it , all double employment on the plan of activities and of the scientific research , this means that a cooperation with the centres of research national and community . 
today , we are discussing on a white paper and we have interest to a few major principles . 
now , these procedures have been amended and modified and we have our own national of food safety agency , the food standards agency . 
finally , we also support several new amendments , more precisely the amendments 11-13 , 7-9 and we want have a vote in aware the amendment on 14 . 
in this context , i would like to say firstly that the food safety depends entirely of the organisation by the authorities of controls rigorous controls - which are also rigorous that the link the more weak . 
it is clearly of the examination of this question is how superficial and vacuum the debate on the unification policy of the europe . 
therefore to the are giving authority of the european food safety the only experience scientific , together with our national agencies . 
if it is the raised of the progress of main diseases food which affect the europe currently , the most have done in reality their first appearance in america . 
it is however imperative of define the conditions of referral of the authority of food safety to ensure a rapid and effective action . 
we should also emphasise , to the like of some previous speakers , in particular mr whitehead and mrs gebhardt , that the white paper is of more that a new regulatory framework in the european union . 
mr president , i feel today to the time a satisfaction and of the recognition , of a part to the respect of the commission which has committed this work in favour of a better food safety , and secondly to mr bowis and the whole of the commission of the environment , of the public health and of the policy of consumers . 
the amendment 17 is particularly important . it provides that the council the organisations of consumers . 
another aspect is the revision of organic standards on the labelling , both for the sale in great detail , that the review which is a finally , thanks to the traceability of products and of their ingredients , a believe the consumer and allow the liability in any case of risk or of crisis . 
to my opinion , the development of a new legislation is not a good answer non-observance of the existing legislation . 
in the vote in the environment of commission , we have to restore a balance in putting in the area of application the questions relating to the nutrition and other essential role of the references smes in the protection of habits food . 
mr president , i would like to congratulate my colleagues and the rapporteur , mr bowis , for his very constructive approach and logic of this very specific problem . 
mr president , the fact that the white paper on the food safety has no legislative value is not damage to the dual value that it is certainly . 
the rapporteur , and that many of members states of the european commission , which i , have stressed on the food authority , this which is in fact a little regrettable . 
the independence and the autonomy of the body are the advantages which are the best interest of the european consumers . 
i have said , the time , in all this time , that we had had the opportunity of with the choice of the rapporteur . 
mr president , i would like to congratulate our colleague mr bowis for to be really worked hard to absorb all the points of view in his report and especially to have accepted that we we stresses increasing also to the concept the more general of the food . 
in short , mr president , the policy cannot evade its responsibility . 
but above all , it must win the respect of peer review and the confidence of the public and bring the governments of member states to accept its conclusions . 
that is and that i envisages a future european food authority of safety . 
it is the organisation of the world health to geneva . 
in not more , that to the publication of the white paper , i am against the creation of a such authority . 
it must therefore ensure that the european union has the highest possible standards of food safety , but this view - unanimously shared - must also analyse the economic consequences that it brings to the sectors concerned by a requirement of production . 
the tasks of the agency will then the following : scientific research independent , consultation , inspections and controls independent , and that a system early-warning , but certainly also a task of coordination to restore the confidence . 
incidentally , i would say the speakers who have referred to the question of the need to be sensitive to the promotion of local products or traditional that this question is covered by the legislation in hygiene . 
this climate consensus will facilitate the task of the commission when the time will come of submit a proposal balanced adopt the maximum of opinion exposed by the parliament and by the many stakeholders in the area of the food safety . 
to say true , this subject has been a year of forces driving which have led , the point of view , policy to the signing of the convention of ottawa . 
i remind my opposition to amendments 10 and 19 to the concerns of coherence budgetary and , for this which is of the amendment 29 , i request the vote by blocks to have a better wording of the text which is to me of problems of interpretation 
this raises a first question . the european union and especially the commission must be that the countries which do not yet have the fact sign the convention of ottawa . 
- ( of ) mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we know all the impact of landmines , although they are often in some cases that are military important . 
that is that it has raised for the first time , in 1996 , the question of a horizontal and of the creation of a legal basis so of provide a platform single the very many actions in this area important . 
but i cannot hide the fact that the force of persuasion of the union for this development somewhat to the reluctance of some member states which fail to sign and to ratify the convention . 
the mine is in efficiency when it suits conditions own to every situation . 
the parliament knows that it is already much too in and that thanks to our proposals of reform of the aid community foreign , we hope we go to the extent of the control of individual projects and concentrate our debates with the member states on the strategies and programmes of global . 
the ngos have mushroomed necessary . and yet , is that about four years after the first conference on the landmines which held to geneva and more of a year after the implementation of the convention of ottawa , of many countries and thousands of people in the world , the more often in the regions the poorest , continue to be the terrible consequences of anti-personnel landmines and of unexploded ordnance . 
it must that the commission to improve the time the quality of its programmes and the speed of their implementation . 
however , i think that , if you read through the once again of a very carefully , i have to say that it is several amendments that you have mentioned which , to my opinion , are on the campaigns of awareness , on the transparency , on the access of ngos , on the things which work very well in this time but which could still work more effectively . 
mrs bonino and mr patten have also reason to say that the parliament and the council should not the questions administrative , and i have listened very carefully the comments made by mr patten to this subject , because it believe that we should clearly still less we in deal with . 
mr president , the time that our group is actively on all the range of applications and the measures necessary , since the adjournment of the production , the destruction of stocks , the judgment of the marketing , until the operations of de-mining , the rehabilitation of victims and the awareness . 
the member then of support the process in the international pregnant . 
the mines are of course a major obstacle to the reconstruction of these countries and the return of refugees . 
the pace where we will , as it has been said before , it we should of more of 100 years to get rid the world of landmines . 
the third area is the specific measures to propose , to monitor and to implement . 
for every child that we protect in bosnia , in africa and also of the death or of injuries caused by the horrific mines , the effort all are justified . 
it must indeed be pressure on the countries of the european union which have not signed , as the finland , or which have not ratified , as the greece . 
ladies and gentlemen , look at the finland . 
finally , we hope that the tasks of the future european common military force for stakeholders on the training of technicians , especially of people with a interest in the local disappearance of mines . 
we do not stresses that the list of countries the more seriously achieved is mainly made up of developing countries . 
the proposals of the european parliament cannot be more in contradiction with the objectives of lisbon . 
the rapporteur , mrs van lancker , hope that the european parliament of change the proposal of the commission , mainly in add some areas for which the legislation is appropriate , and secondly , in a number of rights the european level . 
it is and the process of luxembourg , which applies to the policy of the employment should be extended , to the social protection and to the social exclusion . 
the greater powers as the germany , the france , the united kingdom and , in a certain extent , the italy , are all of agreement to submit to the small countries their domination of eastern europe or the south are to the european union . 
however , we believe for reasons of legal that this is a mistake of is refer now to the article 6 of the treaty establishing the european community , because it has not been formally adopted in the convention - because of its structure , and has therefore not of existence legal . 
it believe that the inclusion of a new text in the treaties risk confuse legal . 
furthermore , the rapporteur is to of the new theory in extend to brussels , the so-called dual legitimacy of the european union : that of citizens represented by the european parliament and that the member represented by the council . 
the swedish and danish social democrats voted against the report drafted by mr olivier duhamel on the constitutionalisation of treaties . 
it is essential that the european union is to a constitution which incorporates the charter of fundamental rights . 
a constitution should of sense that if it was the framework of a real democratic european federation , of united states of europe . 
it has said we have understood , in agreement with a great part of the politicians , that we procedure should be left govern our relations with the other countries by a treaty international . 
. i welcome the report of mr duhamel as a good and constructive to the idea of the constitutionalisation of treaties . 
they think that a reorganisation and a simplification of the treaties would citizens of define more clearly the scope of the responsibilities of eu , its limits , and that the procedures of the president-in-office of responsibilities in question . the charter of rights has been prepared on the basis of a convention involving the national parliaments , the european parliament and the representatives of government . 
until the treaty of amsterdam in 1997 , the europe was a super union intergovernmental . 
the group has voted against the report gil-robles gil-delgado on a strengthened cooperation . 
it clear indeed the concept of a union much too monolithic , where all the cooperation should speak to the internal the ' single ' institutional framework , and where they should all be directed towards the objective of superstate . 
it must therefore avoid delay the work of the whole and therefore allow some member states to go to the before in developing the mechanism of cooperation . 
the structures operational the single market have always been a success for the beginning of 1990s . 
. ( nl ) the european cooperation can be useful to solve the problems cross-border . 
these areas could be a great laboratory in terms of sustainable development . 
the technocrats , the european judges , have want remove the granting of ' sea ' which result in our common resources of overseas territories and especially protects our trust . 
however , the france has the overseas territories in rather and in the caribbean . 
its independence will be a key reference to its credibility . 
our vote has therefore clarified the role and the composition of the future european authority , but also our requirements said on its financing and its independence . 
secondly , the agency european must be completely independent . 
it is the type of agriculture and agro-industrial , the problems of imports of goods food , of the composition of ingredients of feedingstuffs , of maximum levels of dioxins and of residues of pesticides , of components food and other , in giving the priority to the food safety . 
we have voted for the amendment 15 because we are very strongly committed to the defence of european culture linked to the local food production . 
we do have of margin in almost no category . 
we would also be 50 % to the budget and to 50 % in reserve . 
i see here that other proposals aim to reduce this budget . 
report ( a5-0300 / 2000 ) of mrs haug , the behalf of the commission of budgets , on the draft budget of the union general european for the president-in-office 2001 - section iii , commission ( c5-0300 / 2000 - 1999 / 2190 parliament 
madam president , i appear as part of some of this report amendments . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
the real surprise of this budget is on the external where dominates the selfishness and the poor . 
other resources could be provided the way of the instrument of flexibility . 
i have voted against the report haug , of the same way that i have voted in favour of the proposal of my group for the rejection of the budget for 2001 . 
we refer in particular the new pilot project which will the actions of information in the framework of the fight against the paedophilia . 
this shows , of a little way , the motivation of the european project that is , even among the citizens politically active . 
20 to 30 % of markets will be and of new offered to the competition private . 
given that this is not guaranteed in the report presented , i have voted against the report . 
if we combines the low level unacceptable limits of national , which death from starvation on the premiums , with the cuts proposed of quantities of withdrawal 5 % for the - citrus fruit , 8.5 % for the apples and the pears and 10 % for the rest of fruit-andvegetable of volume for the market - the that , for of products processed fruit and vegetables , there will no outcome for the distribution . this as the reduction of prices , the overall putrefaction of products in the fields and in the facilities of conditioning of cooperatives , which and the farmers to depth this that they have grown . 
i have voted for this report because it is the expectations of organisations portuguese the horticultural sector , which for a change draconian regime of the com on the fruit and the horticultural products seen deeply damaging the national interests . 
report johan van hecke ( a5-0296 / 2000 ) 
this problem has its roots in the sacrifice of all and of all , even of the quality of the environment and the climate , on the altar of the exploitation of resources and the capitalist profit disproportionate . 
the rich countries had decided to kyoto to the cleansing of their own atmosphere , although it was their also , in the limits quite strict , , on their own list of the results cuts of emissions that they help to achieve elsewhere . 
. the fight against the gases is a challenge to the industrialised countries , a duty particularly to the people of the third world who already of their life the consequences of global warming . 
all the art is to be in make intelligently . 
it must also ensure and strengthen the effort forward-looking the detection of substances suspected of human of endocrine disrupters , perhaps in a legislative framework . 
the consumer and the small and medium-sized companies do not yet the internal market , which the introduction of the euro is the completion . 
furthermore , they have so far obliged the banks to communicate the current of more of 12 500 eur to their ecb the purposes of statistics of the balance of payments . 
these companies must of course meet the requirements to identical in matters of safety and of laundering . 
we have even aware of cases in which prices for of cross-border payments have increased later to the introduction of the euro , and this in the considerable proportions . 
the ecb could help in imposing a formula of transfer uniform for the payments the european level , and in supporting the establishment of a single standard for the numbering of financial auditors in the international system iban . 
it is essential that the consumer accept the euro . 
madam president , the report of mrs peijs , on the payments of detail in the internal market , is the old demand the european parliament on the high cost of current in the union . 
the report peijs the said itself recital of the draft resolution . the high costs of the current damage to the confidence of consumers in the euro ' . 
we have therefore still much to do in this area , but on this point , the resources and the means of political are more limited that this that we can do to this question of payments of detail in the internal market . 
the market of the euro is felt as a area internal and the citizens do not understand why , in this area where the risks exchange are void and where the electronic payments , particularly the transactions bank by the internet , are of more in , a transfer between munich and salzburg costs much more expensive that a transfer between munich and kiel . 
the implementation of this objective will still , to you as to we , of many years of work . 
we shall also of the opportunity to consider the reduction of the period of implementation of top priority that the report of mrs peijs recommend . 
the debate is closed . 
it seems however of good policy of prefer a pragmatic approach and of proximity , which place the small company the heart of mechanism , rather that a proposal which , because of avoid the distribution , would that to produce of fair statistics which the use concrete would be impossible . 
specifically , i have three comments to make on this programme . 
we should remember that the first programme of action in this area has been adopted in 1983 , that it is seventeen years . 
furthermore , i have always to achieve these objectives through a policy effective and pragmatic . 
i would say that this is of real economic commandos and of innovation , in first line and in the very dangers to this area . 
we have finally to take account of results of the work meeting ' science and governance ' which has taken , the last week , to brussels , at the centre of an technological seville , and that of the monitoring of this meeting , because it is of many interference with the issue that we are today . 
the rapporteur detail a number of priorities to strengthen the entrepreneurship european . 
this is excellent to the image of the europe because we can help the people of a rapid , correct and responsible . 
mr president , i too would like to join the thanks for the excellent work done by mrs montfort . 
the important , it is of find the balance , to avoid that of there fail continually the expense of other . 
this is not just and i support this report . 
that is also the principle director of the charter for the small companies . 
the programme will that the networks provide this information . 
it is clear that the main aim of this plan is to put a stop migration to the countries of the european union , and that of repatriate of people illegally in the union . 
i underlines the need particularly of introduction of measures for the improvement of the internal security , the strengthening of dialogue between the european and the regional authorities of the albania and , on the commission and the council , the promotion of action special in cooperation with the albanian authorities , italian and greek . 
the lack of reports social , economic and political , combined the lack of safety and to the organised crime lead on the flows of immigration of mass . 
mr president , contrary to my colleague pack , my opinion is that it will be more of groups which is planks of the albania , this will be better . 
it is of course not possible to find a solution immediately the problem in general , but to a little more long-term , the aim is to create a world of fairness and of right , which men the safety and the possibilities of future . 
it is also a gap between , of a part , the donors , that we all , the europe , the united states , which are of the money , which are of projects , and , secondly , the people who work on the ground . 
therefore use the bilateral , which , of a legal way and clear , will the work , the period of residence , the place of residence , the remuneration , the noon , the conditions of work and of social security , so that the immigrant become and a force which will in the value of our countries and economies will to the friendship and to the cooperation between peoples and not not to the culture of nationalist aspirations and worthy of the cold war . 
the men and women are sent back then that they were more or less integrated . 
the priority should not be given the means of the limit flows of immigrants or of refugees , but to the way to improve the conditions of life of the region of so that the people have not to leave their homes . 
mr president , i believe too , as the . mrs dimitrakopoulos , that it is the centre of this which is the difficulties of the albania - economic , social and of internal security - the question of help this country to restore its member of right , to give the security to its citizens , to restore the authority of its institutions and of its local administrations . 
i share the opinion of mr liese , that we need establish a burden-sharing of the policy of asylum and of the policy of refugees . 
the plan of action for the albania has been adopted in june of this year , and it is therefore the sixth the kind . 
we note , in the population , a frustration widespread , but also a lack of community law . we want invite the european parliament and the other institutions community to do not reduce to the small work difficult , to work with clarification , to use the time and the staff necessary to the achievement of tasks . 
with this report , we want to show that citizens we take seriously their complaints to the poor quality of the legislation and that on to the regionalisation and to the centralization excessive . 
the subject treaty is , of course , essential , even if the minimum of individuals to in the debate is not necessarily assume to first view . 
in addition , and it is of a point essential , the report addresses the question of the subsidiarity , which , this evening , raises the controversy in this house . 
it would be very interesting also make a survey of the legislation , to the light of this principle , to make the simpler , more transparent , more effective and more relevant in the texts do away with endless of unnecessary , as the is the paragraph 6 of this report . 
having studied the report with much of attention , i am in happened to the conclusion that it is not even of a principle of a policy but principle theological . 
it must therefore ensure recognition of the principle of subsidiarity to more small communities , the realities autonomous , the training intermediaries , the training social , the families and the citizens who are the real unique sovereign of the action legislative and administrative . 
i shall therefore give you a vision of the synthetic situation . 
i give the floor to mr the commissioner . 
is a field where we should move to a regulation detailed , with the guarantee that it will be implementation everywhere or should we move to a voluntary agreement , provided it can be implementation and controlled ? 
- ( of ) if i have voted in favour of the report , even if some of my amendments have not been adopted , it is because it is also on the question of high costs of exchange and transfer of the euro in . 
when , in some fifteen months , the same coins and notes will be introduced in eleven member states , it is more expensive to obtain this new currency in outside the countries where those . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i would like to begin by say that i regret that the commissioner of the fisheries , mr fischler , cannot be here today . 
it must encourage the cooperation in terms of fishing and the sector of the moroccan fishing and in the same time satisfy fully interests of fishing fleets of european . 
we are therefore consensus for work in the perspective of a partnership responsible , then the morocco 's point of view of a meeting at which will , as you have said , the to brussels , the 30 october , i.e. monday . 
a few weeks , i have made to algeciras , on the south coast spanish . this is not far morocco . 
at , we have seen that they were not only difficult but also that they could become impossible . 
by means of agreements of fishing , the european union can exercise of activities of fishing and exchange of prerogatives of fishing with of third countries . 
i have read in a review technical swedish on the fishing how a of these vessels not come into being taken to its el aaiún , which is described as a port moroccan . 
all this is put to the test . that is the whole of our agreements of fishing and not just with the morocco because it is also the mauritania and soon the guinea , between other , - which are threatened . 
it has put eleven months to get the point of focus where we present , to know the meeting of 30 and , in this sense , we know also appreciate the recent measures taken by the commissioner fischler , the results of its travel of 26 morocco and the meetings held to a high level , including with the king itself . 
but i would like to convey to the commission , today dignity represented by the commissioner busquin , some messages brief . 
my question to the commission is the following : if the parliament not to a agreement with morocco , or if this agreement is reached in the terms reported by the commission , a agreement which encourages the production moroccan , the commission think adopt the measures to compensate for the structural delay which will in the regions affected ? 
as we think that , the difficulties of the negotiations with the moroccan authorities have been great . 
finally , the case , regrettable , where the negotiations fail , the union has the obligation political and moral support of the fishermen and the owners of by aid satisfactory and able to ensure their of livelihoods . 
it must reduce the overcapacity of the industry of the fishing community . 
that is why we need the more quickly of close relations with the economic and political morocco , all in defending in the same time interests of our european fishermen . 
that is why the commission is on the basis of a new partnership for a development interesting the two parties with , of a part , the development of the full sector of the fishing of morocco , the fleet , the aquaculture , the processing trade , the research and , secondly , the granting of fishing opportunities of the european fishermen . 
rights of teachers of language 
the difference is clear , and not only in german . 
in july 1999 , the commission has brought this breach of contract proceedings before the court of justice . 
therefore , to that the least we within the harmonize systems - we hope that this - in this time , the respect of the principle of subsidiarity cannot allow that the move to a discrimination which this , much more probably , is the request of a privilege . 
we can probably accept that the commission previous , that of mr santer , was not the best , that is why it is in went . 
the states of the commission legal and the internal market of the whole of the union and of all the parties , met to state the working of speak of rights and of recommend the adoption of charters of rights if , in the situations of real where people are private of their rights , the absolutely nothing to that these rights are recognised and respected . that is the problem in the case now . 
this attitude is quite unacceptable in a modern europe . 
the area of the education is obviously still of the subsidiarity , but in the framework of treaties , the free movement of workers and the ban of discrimination we are own to all , of that we - and particularly me , because i come to a member very fédératif - we were to say supporters of the principle of subsidiarity as principle of the order of cooperation in the european union and that we pursuing for that the powers of powers between the levels in europe are classified as soon as possible that the principle of subsidiarity . 
in this context , it cannot be more question of discrimination . 
you , mr president , you would you do treat by someone who is of the terms surgical in italian , english , french , german , or by a surgeon ? 
( the sitting is closed to 10h56 ) 
we their could deeper sympathy . 
i give the floor to mr ceyhun , on as rapporteur and the behalf the group of socialists . 
on the statements of the council and the commission on the third asia-europe meeting , the council we has indicated that it is not intervene in this time . 
therefore , that is a question which , under the treaties and the euratom treaty , is of the competence of the commission ; it is , or could apply , of many citizens who are not only spanish because it is , in this area and in its region , without it is no plan emergency , hundreds of thousands of european citizens from the fifteen countries of the union , of many people who come to the outside to take of the costa del soil . 
madam president , it is sad , although very revealing , to hear the minister of the internal spanish , mr mayor oreja , say that , of dialogue with the nationalist basque and this , even if a new cease-fire was said to the future . 
let me ask that we look at this week a statement of the commission on to the decision of the british government to introduce a tax discriminatory for we not british . 
given that the parties that the we said liberals and even european are of more in more to side with with the forces of inspiration xenophobic and racist , authoritarian , i believe that this is not only a serious danger for the italy but also a signal of something which concerns all the europe . 
my report contains however of serious criticism to the respect of the french proposal . 
these requests are expressed in the amendments 2 and 4 of the report karamanou . 
the initiative of the french presidency that we are today has to subject to improve the two agreements general mutual judicial assistance in criminal matters - that i mentioned earlier - particularly in the area of the laundering . 
it we if the project of the laundering of money has been a damage , the fault is not the parliament , but of the council . 
we cannot that the congratulate of this work . 
naturally , the way , as the mr marinho said - i agree - is the communitisation . 
all the people who have expressed have agreed that it was of a excellent initiative , and we support its content . 
this that we must , it is that europol can make to through the borders . 
these occurs too often in our europe of today and , before of support to a mutual recognition hasty , i would like to see a mutual recognition of standards fair . 
i believe that this is difficult because we must build from instruments dispersed . 
but it is also a need to strengthen the economic that is the european union and this is the wish of the citizen which we must take account because the citizens of the european union have the right to security . 
in the european union , we must fight with tenacity against the money laundering , conscious that we need a policy and judicial cooperation effective between the member states , also effective possible , especially since that the creation of the single market and the liberalisation of markets of capital and of financial services . 
on the council financial , nothing think that the lawyer exerts not its profession as such . 
of same , i would like to say that i am aware of the sensitivity of the question raised by various members on the conditions in which the confidentiality of legal profession can be a refusal of cooperation based this of laundering of capital . 
this is particularly true for the crimes serious and the more serious committed on a trans-border dimension . 
in general , the task is so important and that it cannot be accepted by the council only . 
it follows that it is necessary to strengthen the rights of citizens in adopting a mark and of recognise the competence of the court of justice , particularly as to its right to the interpretation and to its power of rule or not . 
therefore , i am in favour of that to a strengthening of the cooperation and of the coordination , i think that to a system of this would be a legislative mistake , and we are we oppose . 
the second point that i would like to raise is also interesting . 
this is a positive initiative , and it must therefore welcome seeking to obtain that such a support in this house . 
i shall take this opportunity , as several members have raised questions of very difficult - to say very frankly , as of the say mr coelho , that this initiative we is especially as a first initiative which shows the political will of the council of recover the delay which is in protocols on judicial cooperation , by report to the police cooperation . 
and that is why this also to ensure the jurisdiction of europol . 
the programme fair on actions of research in the area of the agriculture and of the fisheries was included in the fourth framework programme which has great 1994 to 1998 . 
given the importance of the programme of research for the agriculture and for the fishing , it is regrettable that the we has raised some problems in the organisation of the programme . 
the report of the court of auditors on the programme fair , the to the report origin of the rapporteur , has been published that in march of this year even if the letters of on the audit sector had initially been sent by the commission in december 1998 and february 1999 . 
i would like , for the commission of the fishing , stress certain points . 
you have pointed out , and i thank you , in the spirit that to this report , by the dialogue with the court of auditors , the services of the commission and the interest that you are have been . 
this illustrates that the commission is not been inactive and that it the remarks that you have made . 
i come to the question that mrs morgan has raised on the recovery of are . 
thank you , commissioner . 
this price will be issued to the association of basta ya ' for the period of session of december next . 
i am firmly convinced that it is , even if some heads of state and of government do not want the admit , the opening of the constitutional process if often and if consistently asked by this parliament . 
i am particularly pleased to be to you today for debate detail of this wonderful project that is the charter of fundamental rights of the european union , before that you will the final position of your house on this text . 
i have , for my part , no doubt that this earliest opportunity . 
it is true , however , that some criticisms have been made on the content of the charter . 
i believe that it is to be important and that i welcome . 
this was a great success for other , we members - and the groups have done front on this point , this which is a positive - , of the 16 members are the european parliament in the convention . 
i think that this charter is a key and that it can become , as the headline major a european the 26 september , the card of visit of the europe . 
therefore , my group still of that it is absolutely fundamental to include a reference to the charter in the article 6 , paragraph 2 , the treaty . 
many were those who pensèrent that the europe had the opportunity of finally out of the single area of free trade and of the rut liberal to build a europe of citizens . 
the european nice in december , the , civil society has decided to mobilize to voice its and criticised its desire of a charter of offering real guarantees for the citizens of europe . 
to do this , beyond the signatures , it is essential that all the countries and all the political forces take a commitment effective and the respect all the days . the charter is not an extension of some . 
then weep or do pretend to be happy , celebrate this great event which is not least a great event vacuum . 
the convention has done excellent work of the . 
that is the time to the rights of the person , the rights of citizens , but also the social rights . 
the right to the good administration , that has also mentioned mrs malmström , is the a of the more significant progress . 
how mr blair will pack to its freedom of the speak on this project brilliant , i do know nothing , because i do not yet have the heard . 
the last time , you mentioned the glass to half empty or to than . 
but the council of cologne , helped by the house , which has played extremely its role of semeur of confusion , has to forget to all the world that it is of a competence of national parliaments , that they are in of stealing by shifting progressive . 
when it is of protection of fundamental rights , a surplus is equally dangerous that a lack ! 
when is the interventions of some members , they that this information is more necessary that never . 
the great question which we divides is of know to what is this charter . 
we will be voting in favour of the charter , but with the feeling that this will not of mobilise the enthusiasm and the involvement of citizens as necessary to the respect of the europe . done , the governments - and some more that of other - in the will historic responsibility . 
in the co-rapporteur , mr duff , it is a not crucial to the improvement of the quality of the european integration . 
for those who in feel the need , i commend the explanations of read in the convention 49 , and aware of the case-law of two courts which are linked to the charter . 
mr president , i have long been of doubts . 
for the first time since the creation of the european union , we have the basis of a constitution , a constitution for the supranational structure that is the union . 
the demonstration is a call to a social and democratic europe , a europe of citizens . 
the draft charter can be used , sometimes temporarily , by the parties , the trade unions , the environmental organisations , the churches and many other groups of member states of the union and the candidate countries , as a interesting document of reflection on the future of the cooperation between the european people . 
i would like to mention three points which have already been addressed this morning . 
the charter which will be adopted today will and will the values and fundamental rights common on which our community must be based . 
i am , of course , to those and that include , to the article 6 , a reference to the charter and its integration later in the treaties . 
let us remember the case of bernard connolly , which the paper criticism on the commission has been banned by the court of first instance . 
this synthesis is important , when the union is called to define the legal status , in terms of rights and obligations of , nationals of member third which are legally in the european union . 
i am , myself , exactly as it , convinced , of a part , that it will effects of unique immediate and , secondly , that it will be binding soon . 
i have heard , in this debate , some formulae potent matters : the charter would be a bones for the dog - the dog is the european parliament - or of the cache-sexe of withdrawals of a presidency french example , particularly in its conduct of the igc . 
that is the reason which has led our parliament to propose the establishment of a forum euro-turc , involving in a well the representatives qualified of the community and the european turkish members who have received in the mandate . 
the agreement means that we are not all of the democracy in turkey and of the way the turkey respect the rights of the rights : we do the are not . 
this means , i know of course that the application of the turkey continues to cause of questions . 
the wish of the presidency is that this project is adopted quickly , if possible in fact , the 20 november , by the next council general and , as i the mentioned , in respect of the decisions taken very specific to helsinki . 
it is not least - as the commission has very clearly the said in his report regular - that the turkey must , as all the other candidate countries , respect the criteria of copenhagen in the framework of the process of rapprochement . 
in his speech the months to the last parliament , the turkish highlight president sezer 's has explained very clearly why the turkey has not of alternative to the commitment of reforms . 
i should like to thank you . 
this also , it was a few slightly positive signals . 
we drop one part the attempts , sometimes misleading , of break the balance that the report has managed to achieve , and we drop one part in particular the amendments which seek to make the european parliament a court to judge the past . 
this is a clear clear , as it is clear that the turkey must , to the like of any civilised society , be to the idea of its past , also horrific that it has been . 
the accession of the turkey on this basis , and not because of considerations of usa geostrategic or of the nato - would be a enrichment for the european union and not a significant to the unification of europe . 
that is no account taken of a small part only the territory turkish is part of the european continent ? 
we therefore vote against this report , as we have voted against all the reports to integrate the turkey in the european union . 
the greatest damage would be arousing in turkey of hopes that cannot be satisfied in reason of the situation policy . 
report ( 2000 ) a5-0310 of mrs langenhagen , the behalf of the committee , on the report special question no 9 / 1999 of the court of auditors on the actions of research in the area of the agriculture and of the fishing - programme fair ( fisheries , agriculture and agro-industrial research ) - with the answers the commission of ( c5-0227 / 2000 - 2000 / 2133 ( cos ) ) 
i welcome this report and i will vote for . 
instead of learn the rights of the rights and the social rights to the high , it will facilitate the operations to the learn to the low . 
it is not the shadow of a doubt that its objective is to be of preamble to a european constitution to come , which , , will be the crowning glory of the work of the eu to the federalisation where , now will be institutionalised some , the decisions by some powerful to be applied by all . the main objective is of serve the interests stresses monopoly preferences of the european union the detriment of interests of workers and , more generally , the people . 
a typical case is presented by the article 2-2 ' no one can be condemned to death , or implemented ' . 
anywhere it is said , despite our requests , that the family is of a rights and of a woman who amount of children , and that it is the cell of the fundamental society . 
in the because the judges have not been elected , this is and of government democratic . 
of course , i have the desired directly integrated in our treaties european . 
i am however abstained from the final vote , because i think that some social rights that are made of a way least honest that the economic rights . 
the earlier of the convention was to have a text consensus which the fifteen governments of the make binding by its incorporation in the treaties . 
in reality , the fight against the social exclusion is disadvantage in the assistance , instead of ask the requirement of basic rights binding for the employers and the member . 
for my part , i am convinced that the secularism is a value self-determined lifestyle and debate . 
lack the obligation also social linked to the property . 
it is clear that this document is not designed for legally binding , as it is not a legal text . 
some states of the irish government have raised , recently , the questions about the fact of whether brussels was the identity irish and mr ahern , all in saying that the membership of the ireland to the eu was fundamental to its prosperity and its economic success , has firmly opposed to any movement rapid to a federal europe more - centralised - , given that would be well beyond of this that the most of european want are prepared to accept or in this time . 
guess which the emporta ? 
i underlines the transition that in this part-session , seven reports the total are origin in the national initiatives , which that this system , where it is , is finally very productive . 
these measures voluntarist are very necessary to combat this phenomenon , which has been develop and of is internationalisation . 
by means of this initiative , the french presidency proposes the adoption of a framework decision in view of approximation of laws and procedures in on the laundering of money ( by example , screening , confiscation of set-aside and funds ) . 
all the member states should deal with the laundering of money as a crime subject to a minimum of four years of imprisonment . 
given that the laundering of money is enormous worldwide , it is clear that europol should benefit of powers for the combat , draw up a european strategy of police and judicial . 
i welcome the report of mrs roure on a new initiative of the french presidency - in view , this time , to improve the legal cooperation to ensure , that no barrier preventing the extradition of criminals suspect of laundering or other crimes which speak of funds illegal . 
madam president , this is the only report which i have voted ' no ' . 
this would be the first member state which a bridge geographical above the gap between of the asia , and the first of tradition still mainly muslim . 
this is particularly true when we go in and more of resources of the eib and this , without cover completely the risks that economic we take . 
in this context , i would point out the conclusion of the essential paragraph 22 which says that the turkey not fulfilling the copenhagen criteria and i highlights the many sentences of acts and shortcomings , which the turkey has been in the areas of human rights , of democratic freedoms and in its behaviour international , and that the recommendations of comply with the values that the european parliament relating to this european has countries . 
we are concerned , mr president , of not hear , today , of such encouragement of the part of official turkish and of the press turkish , but this a attempt of reaction . 
eleven years after the berlin wall came down of , nicosia is the only capital of europe which is divided . 
the progress essential have not been made in a proportion sufficient and the turkey must continue its efforts . 
mr president , mr president of the council , mr commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , it is as rapporteur for the accession of cyprus that i wish speak in this debate . 
mr president , it is not possible we will of the vote morillon report , because that we are convinced that , contrary to what it says and to this that a great number of people hope , in turkey also , the accession do not improve the lives of people . 
but i believe that it should not have a picture too of the situation black . 
it is therefore a relationship internal . 
conferences to marseilles euro-mediterranean 
mr brok , which we rejoined , is asked precisely on the delays in highlighted the negotiations . 
we have , we european , a experience that . 
in reality , it is more , just as in 1995 , of restore a balance with the is of the europe , it is also of prepare the future enlargement of the union . 
the xenophobia , the terrorism of the member or other forms of terrorism are also of this area and i hope that we will also the possibility that good order . 
this is a fact which we must , unfortunately , we live with . 
but , again , we should be francs . 
all this shows the aware of the reveals much of results achieved so far , even if the answers are not yet , to my view , to the level of the situation , and even to it that five years , this is not much to the process also complex . 
that is why i believe that the debate of today can we make aware of the importance of this central policy for the union as a whole . 
this is not of a competition between all these needs that it is , but this are the funds that we must find new . 
the process of the violence middle east , the war with violence and determination against the palestinian people , to which israel continues to refuse its right to a member , threaten the future of all the region . 
mr president , as all the european union must find , to nice , the balance between deepening and enlargement , it should develop , to marseilles , a balanced relationship between its function european central responsibility and its mediterranean . 
however , the idea general statements that we in the gives this fifth anniversary of the process of barcelona is that we can we be satisfied with the simple continuity of the process , the fact that , of ministerial meetings with the presence of representatives of israel , of the palestinian authority , of syria , the lebanon , and so on . it is perhaps scant consolation . 
the problems common in the mediterranean are numerous : illegal immigration , poverty , africa , human rights , drought and terrorism , which destroyed seriously the life of people and of families innocent , as we live in the tragically spain , in the middle east or algeria . 
we are prepared to believe , but the countries of the south have need of other things that of promises or of speech : it is of the their we give . 
the europe has made no policy on desertification of water or in the mediterranean countries , should take a specific policy to the environment mediterranean which would the parameters , the logical and even the diversity of the climate in mediterranean . 
the proposals which we are to today are much more balanced . 
i come now to the agency in kosovo . 
we cannot disappoint the and , today more that never , these countries have need of our aid . 
finally - and i repeat the words of the commission - i would say that , two these proposals are the cornerstone of a process which must allow to these countries , which have suffered and are still , of integrate fully in the european structures . 
to the future , we must give the responsibility to a more small number - to a director also , if you want , so that someone has really the responsibility to of the body which will be selecting the various programmes . 
i thank therefore all the colleagues who have estimated that this objective was important and welcome to the future , we can strengthen this area - in terms of content , in these countries . 
i have read in some communications on the elections in bosnia that the nationalist extremists have won the elections in bosnia-herzegovina . 
the european union - you know - has involved with determination to contribute to these changes historic . 
the examination of reports westendorp and lagendijk on the proposals of , , the a framework programme , and the other , to the the agency for the european reconstruction we give the opportunity of return on the scale of support that the union will give the balkans , so that the process of stabilisation and association . 
the victory of the long-awaited democracy in croatia , can in germany yugoslav , need , we know , the to the european union to go well beyond . 
questions ( council ) 
you , the the questions 2 and 3 . 
a new period of four months has to be given the parties - that is the resolution 1324 - to try to make progress on the two fronts . 
i would like to question the member of the association agreement with morocco . 
the stability and the development of caucasus are of a strategic priorities for the european union . 
as to the debate with the turkey , we come to a very important debate to this issue and you know very exactly the positions of the european union on this point . 
i want simply that the minister insists on the fact that the legislation proposed are those who exploit and from profit of people in the desperate situations and has not for aim of criminalise the more immigrants or the immigrants potential . 
both of legislative measures that the actions intended to increase the debate and to develop the are necessary . 
i believe that it must indeed combat these crimes by all the means , absolutely all the means , and i note that both the council of the union that the un , and i think , the turkish government , are prepared to do this . 
it is also because the 14 other countries have disapproved of having that they have taken of measures . 
i take a example : if tomorrow in my country , the france - and here i speak as minister - were the power of a party extreme right , i would like that the should against my countries of the type of those measures which have been taken against of the austria . 
for my part , i speak of values : i have spoken of values as are in our texts , i have spoken of values as are appear in the charter of fundamental rights and i have mentioned particularly - that is true - of the fight against all the discrimination , which is the engraved this of texts european . it is this that we must do respect . 
i remember that this dialogue policy is , with the future partnership for the accession , the a elements of the strategy of pre-accession of the turkey defined to this opportunity . 
no 12 of ( h-0850 / 00 ) : 
that is to this that we do and that we is in this ligne-là and in any other that we shall we take . 
to this opportunity , recognise that the moroccan side has not responded to the offers community . 
this are the citizens of scotland , where , after 110 days of detention , anyone accused of a crime must be is judged , is be released and will never be accused of this crime . 
the specific measures were taken security of supply , ( energy efficiency ) to make the economy of member states least sensitive the crises external ? what are the means and the priorities of the council to short , medium and long-term , as will and the economies of energy ? 
the position of the union on the measures extraterritorial we the united states has not changed . 
finally , i have said that the european union took note with concern the comments made on place by the agencies and programmes of un and deplored therefore result and often dramatic of the embargo economic us for the cuban people . 
the council do not extended it is of a problem policy par excellence and that it is unacceptable that it adhere to equal distance of the victim and the torturer ? 
firstly , this bureau is in line with the decision of the commission of decentralise ; secondly , it is is of management in the task that it does . 
they do not recognise the borders . we must combat the illegal activities cross-border , that this is in the area of drug-trafficking , of the cooperation cross-border or of the human beings . 
it should that commissioner patten , which has a great experience - do not say for wisdom - in the treatment crises , and which , of more , has visited regions of the balkan peninsula , should the seat of the agency for the reconstruction , to thessaloniki , to see how this works service . 
but this region , the region the more turbulent of europe , has never been also full of hope that today . 
but i would like first to thank the house for the excellent quality and the speed of its work in of the examination of these two proposals of regulation . 
we have also achieved the results rapid in serbia , where the commission has put in place , in the area of four weeks only , a programme of relief of a total of eur 200 million . 
of course , we can also accept the proposal wish that the to the future by the commission reflect this same research of greater efficiency behind our reforms . 
i hope that the parliament will understand the significance of proposals that i have presented in may and that it will continue to work constructively with the other to this question very difficult . however , i cannot give my support to the amendment of parliament to remove the requirement of unanimity , because this would against of the opinion of the college . 
the challenge of this third summit to seoul was to deepen the process asem both for the participants of governments that for the public . 
in the area ' interpersonal communication ' ( people-to-people ) , the principle of opening the asem process to a greater section of the civil society has been maintained , that of the initiatives of ngos to establish a forum social have not seen the agenda because of the reluctance of some asian partners . 
we are therefore very pleased that the summit of seoul was , and that all the heads of government , but a or two , there were . 
it is even had two specific proposals which have been adopted , to know the round table on the globalisation and the fellowship and program , which provides 4 300 fellowships to competition of usd 25 million . 
the communication of the commission insists on the aspects relating to powers for the community and the member states in the tasks of the participation the rfos . 
if the we part the principle that , of all the countries coastal existing in the world , few are those which have the potential economic , legal , legislative and policy which has the european union , it is how it is important to we ask what is our responsibility . 
the reform of the cfp is vital , but it will be still more important for the appropriate reforms . 
i believe here the migratory fish . 
we in are all aware , in any the eu and beyond . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , i would like to firstly thank you the support that you will give the efforts that we are to promote and strengthen the action of the community in the rfos . 
until now , some progress has already been made , but must to find a better planning in the time . 
in fact , the improvement of the productivity of continues farms is already a growth of the supply and if you go to a extension of the unacceptable without apparatus of production , it is subsequent to new , inevitably , a heavy imbalance of the market . 
instead , it is much more sensible that every producer of is its own economies . to every farmer of pigs its piggy bank or . 
there is also mention of the need to encourage the organisations of producers , which the establishment differs greatly of a member state to the other . 
the organisations of markets , and that they have worked so far , have promoted the process of concentration more than the have prevented . 
the globalisation of the economy is here as a trap , and this has nothing to do with the crises cyclical . 
all farmer , where it is in the union , will agree to this mechanism . 
mr president , commissioner , the author of the report , mr garot , has treaty with serious and said this proposal of the commission in view of the introduction of funds of the regulation of the pigmeat sector . 
this is a question of balance . 
in this sense , i must say that my conclusions are different of those of my colleague mr garot . on the proposal of the commission , i could almost the approve such that it has been presented , but , if we want be honest , we must recognise that it is absolutely nothing to resolve the problem . 
secondly , it is the involvement of producers specialised of piglets in the system proposed , such that the amendments 7 and 13 the underline . 
what , i would ask , that the commission has presented we ? 
firstly , a analysis of the implementation of budgetary and practices of management has been implemented for each of budgeting . 
on this point , the court repeat this that it has said the previous years , to know that this trend has , : decisions unsuitable and rash , overload of work in a risk of mistakes , and so on . 
the crisis in recently have shown that the problems of management and control of worries have been a increasingly heavy on the agenda european . 
this penalises the member states conscientious and involve the least conscientious . 
to this , i would like to add that the commission quickly stresses in its work on the improvement of external aid , both in the direction of a restructuring in this area institutional that in the direction of a liquidation closer and more rapid that by the past of important rals . 
now , the european parliament is in a situation extremely difficult , because it has said this year still - in january - that there accept more of serious errors in the end of auditors of 1999 . 
i would like to raise a few problems and i hope that mr karlsson can answer to my questions today . 
it we must more of figures and more of facts . 
i would like that this is already this year that we can begin to assess the dg to . 
we know all , of course , that the commission is to some changes . 
this will the number of mistakes . 
the commission is therefore now held the respect of rules . 
may i first thank mr karlsson because this year , the cooperation with the committee has much better market that the previous years . 
i ask you to make a list of countries and sectors the more concerned by the mismanagement in the eu . 
madam president , i too indebted the court of auditors for the report and for its evaluation , yesterday , policy to the committee . the efforts of reform and their need have been a time of more highlighted . 
we must power is read this which has been said by mrs van der - and we are all agree . 
for this to , perhaps should be approached the president of the court power of a decision on the more important methods of the court and on the way it here . 
the rate are of a different member to another and their composition is different to a member to another . 
in its work the more important on the common agricultural policy , the report on the special arable land , the court concludes that , of 1993 to 1997 , the community budget has used more of thirteen billion eur of more that this which would be reasonable . 
i do not ask of questions which it is impossible to answer . 
the court of auditors must also change its methods of work . 
we can always welcome of something . 
this report has been approved by a large majority of states of the commission of the environment of parliament , and , therefore , i will defend the result of vote of this commission . 
the second point concerns the ban , which it has just celebrate merits . 
i have therefore of reservations and would be inclined to reject this provision . 
to the second or third reading , we will need the famous 314-vote mark and , such that the report is now , we will certainly not the will . 
the commission has to propose a measure , timid but welcome , in this direction , that the commissioner will perhaps a little more when it will . 
we agree with the rapporteur on the need to inform the consumer about the risks and of the play card of the transparency , particularly in terms of health and of security . 
in my view , it is better to take more account in the principle of the subsidiarity . 
however , i remember a major debate that i had my daughter elisabetta then that it had nine years and that it asked to go to a turn only in the street . 
it should ensure that we guarantee a total of consumer protection , without however regulate certain things several times or of a contradictory . 
furthermore , i would like to stress the importance of amendments approved by the commission of the environment , of the public health and of the policy of consumers , which strengthen the transparency to the respect of the consumer and final question the responsibilities , not only of producers , but also of distributors in of possible operations of withdrawal of products unsafe . 
this means also that of new provisions when taken in the framework are of the legislation , they take precedence over sectoral the provisions of the directive . 
many of amendments are a improvement first and can therefore be accepted by the commission . 
thirdly , the amendment 4 proposes to add , in preamble , a requirement binding the member states to produce the reports with the specific aid of the institutions competent and independent , whether public or private . 
of that the commission is in favour of the cooperation and of common principles , the wording proposed is against the principle of subsidiarity . 
no problem of the current wording has been pointed out to the commission and the amendments would impair the existing provisions . 
the amendments 39 and 44 propose that the information on the dangerous products do public access to that after that a decision to ban or of point has been taken . they also propose that the exchange of information covered by the secrecy is not possible between the authorities of monitoring of markets . 
mr martelli , normally , you cannot express to you that the end of the vote , but i give you exceptionally and briefly the floor . 
report ( a5-0294 / 2000 ) of mrs eriksson , the behalf of the commission of the rights of women and of the equality , on the proposal of the council decision on the programme on the community strategy on equality between men and women the programme ( 2001-2005 ( com ( 2000 ) ) 335 - c5-0386 / 2000 - 2000 / 0143 ( cns ) ) 
mr president , my question is on the vote on the amendments of paragraph 10 , i.e. the armenian genocide . 
( parliament adopted the proposal of resolution ) 
the responsibility is double : it is that the governments of countries of the union , but also that of governments of partners . 
this aid is more that justified by the scale of this tragedy . 
the ban the work of the night for women was a of few areas in which the legislation social of some countries , in protecting the women , was a little more in advance for the workers that for the workers . 
i hope very much that the future to the commission , will annually and of a balance sheet for the parliament of a analysis and a debate in more depth . 
it is therefore to regret that i have voted against this proposal . 
it is important that our products are safe , but we must overcome certain limits by actions extreme . 
today , the agency for the kosovo is by a council of direction where the representatives of member states and the commission have of each of a vote and where the decisions are taken to the majority of two third . 
for the serbia , the problem to solve is that the kosovo . 
the members have voted against a report to introduce a system of aid in favour of producers of pigmeat in the eu . 
if this is that , as everyone knows , even with a certain openness of the french presidency , the commission rejected these proposals and is not be of majority in the council for the approve . 
a variation minimal of the offers enough to cause a situation of crisis . 
mr president , the armenian genocide has been the first of round in of this warfare that the one century of genocide . 
the sweden is not prepared to participate in a common defence , but of the actions of treatment of civil crises , we cannot support the point 15 , which ' welcome the will of the turkey of contribute to the improvement of capacities european in the framework of the policy european common security and defence . ' 
but beyond the duty of memory that we must demand of any democracy , and which the european know how it is difficult and painful , so difficult that some countries european have not completed , it is important that of such acts of barbarism which destroyed the lives of ethnic , religious or cultural and in the aware universal faults never . 
that is , without doubt , a different debate that that of today , but the behalf of the importance that has to the turkey , i wanted to repeat the same today . 
the peace is is possible because that these people are more end to the right to self-determination . 
i have voted for the amendments asking this recognition , today , to continue this testimony and to recognise the pain of a people . 
it has been to the time of the turkish state . 
not only the report mr jové peres ' would systematic this situation for the existing regional organisations and those which are this , but it would strengthen the in which end to the habit of the commission of to the support of technicians from of member states . 
my remarks are of course to the subject which we are today , the representation of the european community in the rfos , but it applies both to negotiations by example in the framework of the wto . 
my suggestion of the meeting was then supported by mr trittin 's loutish conduct , president of the council of the time , and that by the commission european , so that the decision of the parliament of merge three directives has not opposed to this . 
a example : the pvc is 0.7 % , waste incineration . 
i shall conclude , mr president , in saying that the ppe group is pleased / of the work which has been done in this third reading . 
mr president , i would like to thank mr blokland for the work done on this important issue . 
incinerate is not recycle . 
the report of mr blokland now in third reading was for much of states elected for the first time to the commission of the environment in the first test greatness nature to learn the practices members . 
of new limit , stricter , have been introduced for the new plant to cement for to the co-incineration , as the mrs evans has said . 
what is that the diversity of situations , we can therefore see , in all the member of the european union , a reduction of the general almost coverage compulsory , a role increased systems of so-called insurance disease supplementary and the strengthening of factors we now have detection . 
the however of a proposal of the directive for following : the ban of the use of personal information from the genetic research , a key ; the lack of examinations of health prior to the subscription ; the establishment of a obligation of guarantee workers when they retire by the insurer ; the better coordinated of payments for the people who work and move of the union and , finally , the establishment of a mechanism of mediation . 
we adopt a attitude of more in more positive to the respect of care cross-border , and the functioning of the market is therefore of more in more for health care of . 
the united states , by example , we are often ' of ' example in terms of liberal . by against , wrong fatal of the take for example in the policy of the health . 
it should not the eu that set of rules on , example , the information by therapeutic or imposing to each the obligation to be assured , this that the diversity of total insurance disease supplementary which exist today in many countries and which work on the basis of principles actuarial . 
it was by the result that all of even a way of be accepted . 
it is of the health of all the citizens of our member states and of the cohesion of our territories . 
this is not by chance that i am faced to these problems in the context dutch . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , mr rocard urge the commission to define in a green paper the characteristics of a insurance of basis in the framework of insurance disease legal . 
it is a concern of the first plan . 
mr president , those which , as we have spent , throughout their life to the study of questions social to remember that the old textbooks until recently generally the social protection as a whole of measures of protection of the member covering the risks economically assessed , to nature individual or know and which the people - the core family - could deal with themselves . 
then , this means that a reflection important on the causes of the failure of the medical assistance public is necessary . 
the insurance disease supplementary assume a system of legal rights and of services . 
in trying to remove the discrimination on the basis of background medical , mr rocard would killed the chicken the eggs golden . 
the commission will immediately in the framework of its powers , and i will try to answer the conclusions of your report . 
i hope also that the proposals which aim to recognise the importance of the qualifications particular and of the integration in the work will be also adopted , because it is the phenomenon still more important of the social exclusion and poverty of the practitioners , a work non-remunerated . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the commission economic and monetary is also to congratulate the rapporteur for his . 
the agenda is the recommendations of the commission for a opinion the council on the updating of programmes of stability in germany , in finland and the netherlands . 
this we led to a different reflection and to we ask if this pact of stability and growth of has elapsed with the implementation of the objective quantitative of a figure final determined , or is it would like to see other aspects relating to the quality of public finances in the next programmes . 
our message of basis therefore is that the margin for the cuts of taxes hand with a strict control of expenditure public . 
i believe that in the whole , we can consider that it is of a positive assessment . 
they are the risks of member overheating in a of the countries of europe , which is also the main countries for a of the european economy , to know the germany . 
mr president , i thank mr della vedova very sincerely . 
it is that it is on these two aspects , on the topical of the fight against the bse in europe and on its developments in france , that you have liked we hear today . 
we propose to the commission and to our european partners of the union of prepare the and extension to the level of european tests , in function of scientific recommendations . 
and , efficiency , transparency , independence will be the key principles guiding clearly the assessment of risk food in europe . 
i will return on this point later . 
however , it is necessary that these tests are implemented to a level of greater . 
the measures of monitoring active , including the tests random , are in progress to prevent the case of bse to enter the food chain in . 
in the kind of situation to which we have , it is always trying for a solution magic , a solution which can to the time eliminate the risks and restore the confidence . 
i would ask the member states monday they fear that the weaknesses in the implementation of controls , weaknesses which would against of the legislation in the community area , are a factor explaining the current increase of the impact of the bse . 
it must however be possible to combine the time to speed of action and serious . 
it is that to you of the conclude quickly . 
this is a requirement capital , especially on this specific problem of the bse . 
our group request the ban immediate meat and bonemeal for all the breeding , also long that the member states will ensure the introduction of laws on the prevention of the bse and the application of directives rigorous european . 
i do not know if that is the panacea , commissioner , but the behalf the principle of precautionary , it is that the experience need to ban from the use of meat and bone meal in the food of all the breeding , including the pigs , the poultry and the fish . 
i believe that the debate which has begun in our house , which is to seek the council , which , of the commission or of the house , has done the more or less the , is a little superfluous . 
firstly , of other the said , it must use screen on all the cattle slaughtered for to the food of european . 
with courage and of ambition , we can combine the interest of european health and the interest of our economic producers and we can and restore the confidence . 
they are , i repeat , in nothing responsible of the crisis . that is why the european union must show its solidarity to them . 
i will not the arrogance of some member states which do not , with the tests , do not of regulation . 
the european solidarity must also play because that our policy has shown its inconsistencies : that , meat-and-bone meal to ruminants , nitrates , pesticides . 
and that is that i have heard mr gollnisch say that his group has been to the forefront of fight in the crisis of the bse . 
in addition , we consider appropriate of ensure that all home of infection is identified and that the export of meat is prohibited to this that their nature healthy is proved . 
it is unacceptable that we accept insufficiently this priority in the area policy . 
i am pleased to see that we are always the extension of tests on a voluntary basis . 
but if we généralisons the tests , if we destroy the meat and bone meal , if we set the slaughter of all the herd for a only animal ill , we must demand of standards health strictly equivalent of the hand of third countries which are our partners trade and which seek to export to the community of animals , of carcasses , of meat preparations . 
the causes of the problem are also . 
madam president , i am pleased that the commission has finally decided in favour of force with tests question . because , as the france has of the show : which seeks think . 
what we prevent then to act ? why every time a crisis for that we we set here and that we make it crystal that the parliament place the public health primarily of priorities ? 
the link between the bse and the feeding of meat and bone meal , a way very little of the natural feed animals the rest , is clear for all the world now . 
i therefore ask the commission to european of in harmonisation on this point also . 
the commission to review completely the systems in france to deal with the case of bse . 
the poison between in the system that it will destroy . 
it is certainly difficult also to live , in the area of national legislation , and a european legislation . 
another safeguard taken in the system to protect the health and the safety food in the form of a legislation which defines the methods of production of animal . 
it has said that they will be very expensive , that they will be a great number of carcasses , and so on . 
for example , we as a significant contributor the technical of the oreiller which has caused the death of a who have migrated here in belgium , the use of sédatifs powerful in spain , the transport of immigrants over in the holds of vessels in italy and in spain , the tragedy of 58 chinese immigrants found dead in the uk the port of dover after have been arrested to again on the territory european and the use of general different means of pressure and of intimidation against of immigrants expelled . 
that is my commitment and i in answer in my . 
the violence against women is the several forms : it is the violence in the family , which is the crime of silence , it is also the forms of exploitation , the trafficking of women , the trafficking of people . 
mr president , i would say to mr nogueira that , obviously , in the model that we have defined , the monetary policy is the responsibility of the european central bank and this last takes the decisions in function of criteria established in the treaty . 
mr president , i think that for the public , it is very important to make the distinction between the internal impact and the impact external . i would like to know if the commission is now , just before the introduction of the euro , of launch a action to explain to the population the difference between the internal and external effects of the stability monetary ? 
in the absence of of the greek government , it will continue the procedure which . 
the role of the commission is to ensure the existence of a system of monitoring and of measure . 
in the same decision , the commission promised to review the subsidies in all the member states , on these specific criteria of compatibility approved until 2004 , when required the validity of the authorisation of the regime of support french . 
the implementation of a europe which promotes the integration , in terms of the european council of lisbon , requires a effort and a action of the whole . 
secondly , in which take account of better in the experience of players of ground , of ngos , the community , the social and of people who are themselves in situation of exclusion . 
many of the elderly could confirm , of same that all those who work for the noon for the low-wage do not ensuring a decent life - i think example by the workers agricultural . 
it can also be of groups of people who have not important enough the language for a employment . 
the united states , with a market of the employment more flexible , it has the guarantee that the poverty is experienced for much shorter periods of time , with a very brief of unemployment . 
in my country , 75 % of about people who live and work of of poverty are of women . 
we must then seek to achieve , even in part , this commitment . 
this provision must be strengthened given of the development and the realism necessary in the area . 
mr president , i thank and congratulate mrs figueiredo and that the members today absent which brought the opinion of other committees . 
as you resolution , it must also stress the importance of ngos and that of regional and local players and - as you suggest , the more account of their experience on the ground . 
we have already agreed that the committee of social protection could meet regularly with the group of contact composed of members of parliament . 
the agenda is the report ( a5-0320 / 2000 ) mrs rothe , of the behalf of the commission of the industry , external , of the research and of the energy , on the proposal of directive the european parliament and the council on to the promotion of the from sources of energy on the internal market of the electricity ( ( com ( 2000 ) 279 - c5-0281 / 2000 - 2000 / 0114 ( cod ) ) . 
we need now to binding objectives . 
another approved by the commission is the problem of the connection and of the access the network for the renewables . 
specifically , in my country , the spain , these guidelines are responsible of the emissions in the atmosphere of 225 billion of tonnes of co2 additional of targets and the fact that we could not achieve the objectives of kyoto . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , we cannot that applaud the proposal of the commission to create a framework for a increase sensitive medium-term of the proportion of from sources of energy in the european union . 
but the threat can always come of the compatibility with the internal market . 
the waste is not a very valuable renewable resource , even if we in product daily of more in more . 
therefore , this directive is a topical unintentional . 
nevertheless , i support this proposal . 
mr president , i would like to thank mrs rothe for his excellent report , which is really to pic in this week where we we are debating the crisis in the climate . 
the promotion of the from sources of energy is a objective that we must support without reservations . 
the technological changes radical are essential . 
instead , the proposals are presented by the blow and without coherence . 
and i would like simply with three problems arising in this debate . 
furthermore , in consistent , the objectives mentioned translated in parameters national must be binding because otherwise , the directive would be of content and of substance . 
it is also the case , for the same reason , of the amendment 3 , in part , but not of the amendment 7 , which is too technical for the text of the proposal . 
but , ladies and gentlemen , we cannot accept the parties which prejudge the application of the standards on the aid of the member . 
the agenda is the report ( a5-0308 / 2000 ) of mrs theorin , the behalf of the commission of the rights of women and of the equality , on the participation of women the regulation peaceful conflict ( 2000 / 2025 ( ini ) ) . 
then that the process of peace formal are almost must be built the men , the experience and the statements on international show the participation of women is important when it is of solve of conflicts and of the build peace . 
the decisions on the implementation and the implementation of actions are of the humanitarian responsibility of cells of crisis , and the powers of women are have little to attention and of recognition . 
they want clearly retain their position of strength in terms of foreign policy and of defence and believe that the interests of women can be of of the men . 
mr president , i would like to say first of all the interest that i door to this report , which i would like to stress the excellence , the great excellence , even . 
of same , the financial resources assist the women victims of this situation must be . 
mr president , of the things have already been said and i do not want to pay in the repetition . 
mr president , commissioner , i would like firstly to congratulate mrs theorin have taken the initiative of this excellent report , which is a question important , but also debate : how a participation of women the actual negotiations to resolve the conflicts can change the world and transform the dominant culture of the antagonism and of the violence in the culture of peace , the dialogue and the regulation democratic dispute ? 
that is why i support the demands of the report , of after which the women need a right to influence diplomatic . 
a report excellent , deep , rigorous , capable of setting the essential principles with which clarity is present in the article 17 , bold but to the time with a great sense of practice and proposals very necessary . 
for my part , i condamnerais all the forms of rape and all the forms of slavery . 
fifthly , the role played by echo , the agency aid of the commission , the european parliament has invited to the include the sexospécificités . 
the problem is the following : millions of people ( mainly of women ) do this work ; it is a very strong request but not the slightest regularisation of in this area . 
i think that it must encourage the member states to regulate the sector through the directives on the employment , according to which this has already been asked in the opinion of the european parliament on these directives . 
the population finds herself in a is generally a collective of this sector , important that this requires special of measures , as the houses specialised , responsible provide the assistance of necessary . 
it is a question of which concerns the member states . 
the needs in terms of aid domestic considerably increased the and , this situation has not been included in the work in general and the rights and obligations in with the work . 
( the sitting is closed to midnight ) 
( loud applause ) very 
not only must we create a system of internal peace and of freedom , but we must also the reconcile with the us and customs which exist from in the european community and of the european union . 
the first step to take to restructure the constitution of the federation is to define a framework for a democratic dialogue the states on the type of relations between the two republics . 
the result is historic . you , the meps , which represent directly the citizens of member states of the union , you represent the european citizens , are the better-placed to understand why the simple possibility of membership of the european union is extremely uncertain the view of citizens of the current republic of yugoslavia . 
include the sitting . 
it is , as you know , the matter of a very important and the highest interest for the citizens and this would be the least that we can stop a decision today to this subject in of the vote . 
the commission in its would a proposal on this specific area in the six months , and it has taken floor . 
it is already to the moment in the european union a practice in terms of access to , and it must not forget that the citizens courageous and of many member states progressive fight for the years to a greater transparency . 
this report ask still to be refined the european parliament and that is why i believe that it still of improvements here . 
we are pleased to find in this report the principle important that we also support resolutely in both that committee . 
the opportunity is now offered their of better know the things which are not brought to their knowledge by the media and some groups of interests of ensure that they can participate more the debate open and democratic , which is important to ensure the if confidence to the eu . 
the commission of petitions would that be shortened whatever happens the periods before the publication of documents . 
therefore that the secrecy is more justified , the document must of course become accessible the public . 
i would also stress that all the citizens must have the guarantee of power documents in all forms of that possible . 
the dogma of the responsibility policy must not be confused with the rights of citizens in terms of access to documents . 
i would therefore appeal to rapporteurs to remove in the regulation on the access to any reference to rights of members . furthermore , i would like to ask all my colleagues to ensure that their interests is the need not on the public those . 
in these sectors , the access to documents is not guaranteed and it is refused , not only the citizens , but even the european parliament which , furthermore , is same not officially informed and consulted on the fundamental documents . 
it is however a important forefront of resentment . 
mr president , first of thank mr cashman for the quality of work in the framework of his report . 
we have matter to a very important report , which is a major part of this that we could call the new principle of transparency of the european union . 
( problem technical ) 
it is not only of promote the principle of access to unlimited all the documents , but also of achieve to prepare the way in of the council , so that this last do take more to the future its decisions in the silence and the secrecy , this which can then to other of the use destructive criticism on good market to the respect of brussels . 
i would like to mention the work of the derogations . 
our population is the europe as not democratic , as a place where the we decisions behind closed doors . 
according to the article 255 of the treaty , the regulation proposed must be adopted before the 1 may 2001 , two years after the implementation of the treaty of amsterdam . 
now , , some problems which , for the time , prevent the commission to accept some amendments . 
as i outlined earlier , we can , in some cases , be of agreement , in principle , with the amendments , but we must work together on the technical and administrative , by example , on the amendments on the classification of documents and the register . 
we have no written document and i would like that , for the future , the commission is also the members , by writing , its recommendations . 
welcome 
we we welcome the status improved given to the limitation of risks of credit , particularly the guarantees which can be offered by the small companies . 
report ( a5-0321 / 2000 ) of mr blokland on the draft common , approved by the committee of conciliation , of directive the european parliament and the council on the incineration of waste [ c5-0371 / 2000 - 1998 / 0289 ( cod ) ] 
mr president , for the liberal group , and i ask the also in quality of co-rapporteur , of rather more practice ? 
the postpone the vote to november ii is therefore to a common seen the ppe-de and pse groups . 
i proposes therefore of the report on the villiers to november ii . 
i have followed the order which i received by the services of the plenary and the house has not contrary . 
as president of sitting , today , i must say that you do this , as mr , i can you say that i agree with you . 
also the position adopted during the first stage , when the european parliament in denounced the dangers in britain , and in the second stage , when the scandal in britain , the measures have in fact been limited to this country , without that is implemented a programme of direct stringent controls and of restructuring of the farming the european level . 
that is why we want learn four large lessons , which it account must be taken to the future . 
. we have voted in favour of this resolution common . 
the increase the number of cases of the variant of cjd in england and the situation in france have imposed to the agenda , with more of force , the question of the ' bse ' ( bse ) . 
by fear of cause panic the citizens , or by there is the feeling of disasters trade , some governments have not passed at the information due to the commission or have not been , from the first demonstration of phenomena dangerous , the blocking of the consumption of immediate products in question and to the ban of their export . 
the farmers cannot face this crisis only : a plan accompanying of the farming is to put in place and that of measures to recover the confidence of consumers . 
the inability of the whole of european ( council , commission , parliament ) to define a policy which meets the relevant community needs of security of member states the more directly concerned will in fact put the problems of hierarchy between the constraints of the single market and the requirements of health and of security of our people . 
we have achieved , after many discussions with the council , satisfaction on several points . 
the time of landfill is today to its end , they must debate to the technologies more beneficial to the environment . 
to participate to the entities process , particularly the social representatives of sensitive groups within the programme . 
in fact , if we must we congratulate the return of the growth and of the reduction of unemployment , we must not overshadow the persistence , or the worsening , of inequalities . 
i am of the opinion that the rapporteur has right call for a greater participation of public authorities , the social partners and of the civil society in the measures to take to overcome the poverty and the social exclusion . 
the ' workers poor ' , which are of the most women , employees part-time , together in the insecurity and the more total , join the aftermath of misery that the media on the resumed ignore loftily . 
it is three years , the first minister has created the unity of the social exclusion , which is the action of the government to reduce the social exclusion in producing the solutions identical to the problems of same nature . 
it is for the moment of plants with more of 60 rotors which cover a area equivalent to the thousands of areas of football . 
the dependence , which is of 50 % for the whole of the union , risk of move to 70 % by 2020 in the absence of development of renewables . 
obviously that exploitation of the nuclear energy and the storage of radioactive waste must respect the rules of safety more modern and more effective . 
we must therefore be a source of energy already present in the nature , but which was also a means to create long that nobody has developed the technical for the in mine . 
the preparation of the asem 4 must be the opportunity to say the requirement of a democratic , part , in which the information and the intervention of assemblies elected and of the civil society , particularly with the introduction of a forum - and , of social , in taking fully in account the social rights , environmental and human . 
recently , this parliament has been victim of some misunderstandings and even of some criticism . 
we have seen that it has been the same changes that the european parliament accompanied , that it had been fighting and continued to the make for more of powers , more of resources , more of presence and for then representativeness . 
the parliament of central america , like the european parliament , must gain in prestige , in credibility and in legitimacy on the activity of its political groups , because that the life of parties is , or at least should be , the reflection of companies that they are . 
on the rights of the rights , we support , since 1990 , the programmes of cooperation in favour of the respect of human rights by means of the training and of the awareness in this area . 
( b5-0855 / 2000 ) of mr bob van den bos , on behalf of the eldr group 
the extreme confusion over the electoral context recent weeks in côte d ' ivoire , however so far economic model , is symptomatic of a country in crisis , crisis economic , social and desperation by this , chaos policy . 
the political leaders , military and religious must to allow for a national reconciliation . 
it must in the debate on the ivoirité , this debate fumeux which is another that the introduction of the national preference that we are fighting in our own countries , which the matter ultimate is the introduction of the ethnic cleansing , is totally fought , and removed any reference or connotation on the ivoirité in the constitution côte d ' ivoire . 
it also has supported the revision of the constitution , to exclude its opposition , watara , because the fact that its parents were not all two from political life . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , even if , to the difference other member of the central and western africa , the ivory coast was once a haven of stability and of democracy , this is however member long of ethnic and religious tension . it has also been of abuse of power of the last part of government in function in the president bédié , this which has finally led a the violent by the military . 
we condemn the violence ethnic and especially the politicians which the populism is led . 
the agenda is the debate on the proposals of resolutions following : 
the meeting between the next eu and the asean the laos in december , we offer the occasion of demonstrate that we condemn with force this regime . 
i am , however , not certain that our own ministers criteria for making net then the situation . 
the asean was , in all the sense of the word , a toothless in its failure to the terrible events of burma . 
the junta has said that it was the intention of try of reducing the whole of the party . 
its past is responsible and , obviously , the situation is difficult . 
these improvements light - that we must certainly not to the author of the socialist group amendments , mr sakellariou - have been the recent years and have led to a situation which is more tragic , but which is always disastrous and which is of any way not to the level of issues which are those of vietnam of today . 
mr swoboda , the european parliament is a institution flexible and effective . 
it is positive that the president to hanoi , american do focuses not only on the strengthening of the mutual cooperation , but the make precisely dependent of firm promises , of the part of vietnam , of radically improve the situation , which is in terms of human rights . 
i is the council and the commission to protest strongly against these violations flagrant of the freedom of religion by the vietnamese authorities . 
of same , the process has been the signature of a agreement of cooperation between the commission and the vietnam in 1995 . 
the elements that we have tabled were naturally included in this proposal of resolution . 
i fully agree with the fact that we must be aid , but we the aiderions still better in the situation changing which is the question of their misery and of that countless other people of the world by . 
the issues which it is question concern the means and the long-term . 
mr president , commissioner , the floods in recent weeks various regions of the northern italy , and that of other countries european - britain , spain , ireland and france - is to new two problems to this parliament : that of the intervention emergency exceptional to make the aid of the people , the communities and the companies concerned , and that of a policy to more long-term , to prevent the repetition of natural of this scale . 
that is the sector of transport which must be the measures the more important , given its constant development - more of 38 % , that the forecasts , in the next decade . 
the debate is closed . 
this is perhaps part of culture merely through legislation of this parliament , but this is extremely difficult to give that the european parliament is commitments on a subject as this , is of such a mission side to the commission with a european also small-scale . 
( parliament rejected the request ) 
the economic and social policy of the eu , which has led to the weakening of the power of purchase and the possibilities of workers for all , the payment of contributions , annexed to the appearance of new diseases and to the immunity of pharmaceutical , have caused a increase of expenditure sensitive of the health . 
for the rest , a very broad scope is that the insurers private , to the first they do not selected ( the beginning ) the sick and the premiums insurance by pathologists . 
that that is and spent much of the money is account more . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , i am very pleased to speak in presence of a group of visitors from of my constituency fine and that i welcome very much . 
this presupposes , however , that of the institutions have a deadline to prepare the new rules . 
the report is member of a growing consensus to stress the inability of the current regulation to consider the developments of the financial sector of ten years . 
we approve a greater of technical of watering down of risk and we yes to a extension of principles of basis developed by the committee of basle . 
of same , we welcome the important contribution of this report to all the process . 
finally , and it is a key point , we are absolutely aware of the need to respect the institutional balance in the treaty . 
the vote will take place tomorrow to 9 a.m . 
finally let me , mr president , of like to congratulate mr jacob söderman , the congratulate for the work it has done in the fight against the maladministration and , therefore , for a better rapprochement of european citizens by report to the life of community institutions . 
mr president , the european parliament has always said , of a very positive and assent to the tradition which is that of the public sector in the nordic countries , that strengthen and consolidate the position of the ombudsman . 
the vote will take place tomorrow to 9 a.m . 
after all , the access to the documentation is a fundamental right civil and no document is more important for a candidate that for its examinations . 
it was legitimate that a candidate can have access to its copy corrected , because the access to documents is a fundamental right , recognised also by the charter of fundamental rights that we have to adopt this week . 
and that is and this must go . 
the example should be followed by all the other institutions and bodies , as the commission of the petitions has recommended . 
the citizens of the european union should have a positive impression when they are facing the institutions of the community . 
and the new , in the circumstances , is of the best follow and avoid this which , of after our experience , would affect its credibility in the member states . 
on the other institutions , it is of they that depends the possibility of adopt the procedures described in this report or in the requests of the european ombudsman . 
the minutes of the sitting of yesterday has been distributed . 
they are prevented by a disaster inevitable , this is a failure of the democracy . by against , which is not the death of give come , they do not deserve of the vote . 
the criteria of caution greater adopted are justified , but it must also consider other aspects of the question , in particular the subject of solvency , which is a parameter of weighting by type of compensation which is a lack of risk of real credit in the active of a bank . 
establishment of the college of provisional european police ( cep ) 
this cooperation police is fundamental to achieve the great objective is to ensure that the european citizens a high level of safety to the internal of the area of european freedom , security and of justice . 
the enlargement of the european union , in extending the area of free movement of citizens , must be accompanied of supplementary measures of safety and of peaceful co-existence between member states . 
of after this that i see , the conditions in the prisons french and portuguese are very different . 
therefore , if you want common , you will of all the define , otherwise , you will be facing a training which will take the aspects widest possible range the . 
but , with the work of mr posselt , it is finally provided that the training of police must also understand the rights of the rights and of the defence , as is currently very adapted the suggestion of create a college of police virtual which exploiterait the possibilities of internet . 
but we are here to strasbourg , in a house almost where , to hear something of almost incredible . 
this is a good idea and in the european union , where the citizens have of the freedom of movement and of trade and that the right of established , where the passengers of scotland can go in sicily or in greece , it is that logic of expect that this develops a common system to maintain the member of law . 
the netherlands , the police is due to the dédramatisation of conflicts and to the tolerance repressive , in which the existence of sous-cultures , of minority , of the use of churches as refuges for the people without status of legal residence and the organisation of protests political are considered for social normal . 
those who believe in the good solutions that they defend must not be afraid of the confront with the solutions of others . 
i hope that this will be college a point of departure for the future . 
this is a good example of this with to appoint today in the behalf of europe in networks , a europe which place the united in directly , without having the superstructures unnecessary . 
the most of case of abduction of children are treated effectively and properly by the authorities central in all the member states . 
it must therefore broaden for reasons of fairness , of realism face to the development , and of equality of rights and obligations of all the citizens of the european union . 
between time , we support this measure and better of vote in favour . 
because of our sympathy for the objective asked , we support the measures proposed . 
the visit of a day is clearly of people who are often the round the world to see a child . 
the taken of position of the european parliament in the area , and that the case-law of the court of justice , confirm this approach of the commission . 
i know that the fifa has already played the shows and has waited for far too long before of respond to the statement of the commission 's formal in 1998 . 
it is all natural that the european union is represented in the future in the wada by the commissioner sports . 
the united kingdom decision to apply a tax the road haulage contractors not british 
it is clear that the ireland is a very small market , but a market open . however , the greater part of this that we buy has the united kingdom . 
in conclusion , this debate the european parliament is premature , but i welcome the fact and the statement of commissioner vitorino which clearly that the british government has the right to introduce a system of inflexible to condition of the rules and respect the regulations already in force . 
mr president , the contributions and the machines are obviously topics and i can you confirm the in the case of the austria where we are constantly of this subject and seek continually of solutions for a optimisation of transport . 
this system is not that discriminates against drivers or road haulage contractors of other countries of the british drivers . 
this routier-là pays more that of reason for its stickers , but is it is a payment special on a basis per purposes . 
the 22 november , that the other the 25th anniversary of the crowning glory of king juan carlos , paid , which has open the way to the democracy in spain , a high figures of this democracy has , to turn , of pay of its life its faith in the freedom , in the tolerance and in the respect of the other . 
you keep the therefore all carefully . 
the position of the european union in these negotiations has focused on the protection of the integrity of environmental kyoto in the areas of the change of land-use and of the forestry , on the question of ' sinks of absorption ' , on the link between the mechanism of kyoto and the action to the national level , the of ' supplémentarité ' , and on the line . 
to prepare this new session , the eu should not reopen the discussions on all the questions , but to focus on the priorities , particularly on the mechanisms of ' sinks of absorption ' , on the ' supplémentarité ' and on a system of implementation in accordance solid . 
mr prescott is now affected in the line of ships to float longer and we do not know how of time it will afloat . 
last point : i think that this is a good thing that the commission is firm on the question of the reduction of emissions , in particular because it is extremely difficult to measure exactly the scale of the reduction in aim . 
the nuclear energy has no chance of do a come-back . 
but we must , to bonn , in may 2001 , in introducing the conditions of equality . 
it should to find a compromise in of the conference of bonn which will take place in may 2001 . 
the challenge that we must meet , on the climate , is undoubtedly the greatest challenges which we waiting for the next century , if we want all a world where live to the future . 
it also the inclusion of partial of regards carbon wells , , such that the planting of forests additional . 
the conference of the hague will continue , and you we stated , commissioner , the spring next to bonn . 
madam president , thank you , commissioner wallström , for your speech . 
is it is a field where it is not been disunity , that is that of the relationship between the delegation of the european parliament and the commission . 
we cannot allow we do not achieve of of agreement in the next meeting of the now at cop vi . 
we have been very constructive and have negotiated to the last minute of talks of the hague . 
you have the floor , mr president-in-office of the council . 
on the coordination of social security systems of , on the taxation , on the questions of asylum , visas and of immigration , on the negotiations trade in the area of services - subject very important - , some countries have still serious problems of . 
i add that the distribution of seats the european parliament has not yet been of a agreement . 
find a agreement which will to the union of work after of new accessions , all those who are preparing in this time actively , is a challenge essential for the future of the union and of the union enlarged . 
your president there is , of course , invited . 
it will be sent , and we , the hope , of course , ratified to nice . 
you can see that the discussions will be very close-woven to nice . 
in a union to 27 member states or more , the requirement of unanimity will simply to effect of paralyse the progress in any area where it will be maintained . 
you have mentioned the question of the codecision the european parliament . 
( applause ) 
this challenge is the reunification of our old continent . this is a challenge enlargement unprecedented in term of scale and that is to this that we must prepare nice . 
madam president , the objective the more important summit is enlargement of the european union and the preparation of the union to this enlargement . 
madam president , mr president-in-office of the council , mr president of the commission , yet , we cannot say that the fifteen is are covered of glory . 
this method is not good . 
the proposals are now presented in view of allow that to the majority of decisions can be taken in 49 areas . 
the decisions to the majority supprimeront the right of veto granted the democracies of member states members , but this will not of the eu a parliamentary democracy . 
mr president , the europe has need the way , it has need of clarity , of choice , of dynamism . 
the principle of blackmail to the proclamation is acceptable to the conclusions of the european council of biarritz , although it was informal . 
yes , we believe that the conclusions of nice will be a statement to the commission to draft a framework directive in this area . 
i shall be on the treaty of nice when i have seen the results , but i am in moment a experience a little schizophrenic the discussions of today . 
to amsterdam , they have been that have been rejected , and the class must to be new to nice . 
if the difference between the large and the small countries is too important to council , it is to fear that the european union do is , a years , a serious crisis of legitimacy , since the small countries do is more home and that they will afraid of do more to defend their identity . 
the french president and the first minister are by their own future policy that by that of the europe . 
the fact of do not include the text in the treaty and of is that on the support plan political problems of important problems of interpretation legal . 
secondly , i emphasises the great importance of providing our europe of strong institutions to counteract a vacuum institutional by report to the acceleration of the economic level with the euro . 
the objectives of declared this review is to create institutions which are now effective appropriate to a europe enlarged and , in the same time , to reduce the democratic deficit , which , certainly , is . 
but it is also of the restructuring of the committee 133 itself : the make of more responsible , ensuring that its agenda and its conclusions are accessible and that its composition is large and open . 
mr president , when i say that the questions difficult addressed to nice do not disappear if they are the subject of any agreement the , i do not say only the president-in-office of the council but also to the whole of governments of member states . 
the operation of the procedure of codecision in the last two years shows that this procedure works well . 
also i would say that , in a first time , it should already be admitted that the area of the policy trade will be included in the extension of the majority qualified . 
but of seven years , it was constraint today to the progress of the red army , is conceal in the ditches to avoid the light of had soviet . 
méndez de vigo mr made to rightly the charter . 
we cannot in wait more of its part . 
the agreement which is precise of item in item is not the more minimum compromise , it is unfortunately that is a small , a tiny lowest common denominator . 
mr president , i would like to thank the members because i think that this debate to a great quality . 
it is therefore not of all of do not the state , this is not a problem of transparency . 
in fact , the system of the rotation is also fair the large countries which , to a point , could do not have , as the commissioner of other . 
i believe that the parliament will be able to see that the european union has with institutions improved which should allowed to tackle the continuation of this development of the european union which we all support . 
the vote will take place tomorrow . 
mr president , i would like to endorse the statement of mr van orden . 
i am totally opposed to this that which is a threat that this minister invited , even turkish . 
obviously that we must , we in this house of the european democracy , of ensure the safety of all our invited and of all those who come under our roof . 
the minister of the health , under the pretext that the pellets are not harmful and under the slogan ' soignons the cancer by the marijuana ' , has undermined the human dignity in the liberalisation of asking the drugs . 
it is for the least a bad way , to do not say a hit , for our parliament , and except to consider that the european parliament have nothing to say on the rights of the rights , then they have to vote to a very large majority the charter of fundamental rights , they not of this forum of the european union , where the last year , they were for dialogue with the many ngos and the institutions . 
we have said in enough to this . 
to true say , the european parliament , all as the commission , was of opinion , already before amsterdam , that the ideal would be for a vice-president of the commission which endosserait the dual role of responsible of the foreign policy and of high representative accepting a responsibility and a special obligation to the council . 
as it sebastian before the summit of feira in voting a resolution the 15 june , the european parliament , tomorrow , should vote a text which sums up its position , to the eve of the council of nice . 
the development of a policy european security and defence is a important for european project and therefore requires the clarification of the institutional framework existing . 
to nice , the european council should approve several decisions , that i quote now . 
for the first debate , the beginning of the year , the commission will establish a scoreboard , countries by countries , for the year budgetary past , which will the member of commitments , of payments and the amounts outstanding for the main programmes financed by the community budget and by the edf . 
we have worked also on the question of the regional cooperation , concept which worry about some resistance of the hand of countries of this region which do not want be réenfermés in a past which they are out , and i can say that , thanks to this summit , they have understood that it is not of contradiction between a regional cooperation and their progress , their more the union european , particularly through the process of stabilisation and association which has been confirmed and made to this opportunity . 
it was , before , a summit with the india , under portuguese presidency and a ministerial will take place with the asean 
this is not a reason for we discourage . 
i would remind you in the variety : humanitarian aid , evacuation of nationals , prevention of conflicts , but also by the separation of force conflicting parties . 
it is , of course , on the autonomy of the decision of european union and on the recognition of voluntary and policy of commitments . 
it has personnifié more that anyone the resolution of conflicts in a region of the world that i know well and has been a recognition of world justified for its efforts . 
i think extraordinary the coverage which has been the creation of this force in the countries that i know the better . 
i would like to thank mrs lalumière for in before the report on the prevention of conflicts that the commission preparing with solana in view of the european council of nice . 
thank you , commissioner patten . 
this will be here , to my view , the real test for the european union . 
the citizens impatient complain that the bureaucratic machine of the union is of a slowness inconceivable . 
but the citizens , also , must have access to the information and the documents in a measure broadest possible . 
the current proposals have the vague the more total on this that should be this role . 
with a european flag on your car , you pop everywhere , even in the more the cinderella of camps of refugees . 
that is why , mr president , the europe must , to my view , is decide to act now . 
if we , european , we are not to play , regardless of united states , a role influential in the solution of this conflict , it must not expect this that we give confidence as ombudsmen in other cases of crisis . 
that said , your commitment staff not replace the greater the policy european common security and defence . 
it is the report some points of mrs lalumière that i cannot accept . it of tomorrow , i will vote against the report . 
the non-exploitation of this broad range of instruments of prevention of crises is going to be long-term a mistake and to this , the explanations of council that the resolutions have already been adopted and the things following over , i do not enough . 
as you the understand , we are voting against the two reports and to unite all our forces against the policy shall ... 
thirdly , as olaf describing oil the had a day suggested , it must create a corridor establishment of a nuclear-free of the baltic to the russia . 
let me congratulate mrs lalumière for his report . 
the report brok is also the post of high representative for the cfsp . 
i regret the attitude of some of my colleagues , mr van orden and other - because i think that my counterparts from of the across the sea of ireland are to make this issue in the tradition : , the experience and the practice . 
the european parliament , in cooperation with the national parliaments , is to our opinion the body the better to this effect . 
i believe that the lessons of these recent events we will when we accept the need a policy of european defence and for the capacity associated , this which is a component equally essential the integration of european that is the is the single currency . 
i believe also that the combination between these various resources is a property , is a possibility , specific to the european union and that the work that we have to , if this policy we progress and to state , it is of develop a genuine european culture of the prevention and the treatment of conflicts . 
i believe that a dialogue positive will develop . 
mr president , ladies , gentlemen , ladies and gentlemen , the resignation of the commission , in march 1999 , has revealed the need of reform its structures and its methods of work . 
the reform , if it can be designed by the high , must be clear and exposed the trade unions , to the whole of staff , and that the whole of the staff is actually involved in all this approach . 
this provision will require the time , but it is inevitable and essential for the reform . 
the reform of the commission is a act essential for the future of our institutions . 
on my report , i consider not only the white paper , but also the committee of independent experts and that the resolution adopted by this parliament the 19 january last , proposed by michiel van hulten , on the work of the committee of experts . 
the court of auditors says in his opinion that it does not to the abolition of priori visa , for all that this method is other procedures which offer of guarantees , the least equivalent , and that the various players of the financial speaker are involved . 
in all take place , the large organisations become more open , more transparent ; they have of road use of technologies of the information ; they are of traditional forms of vertical organisation and make a exchange of information , both internally , with the other organisations . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , in spite of its scope , the content of the white paper presented by the commissioner kinnock is not directly of institutional issue . 
we in have also mentioned this afternoon in the framework of the debate on the common foreign policy . 
finally , it tackle the difficult problem of the proposal of implementation to the retiring early . 
the decentralisation of financial control in each dg is not a important but this will that if the staff is properly trained , if the resources available are sufficient and if the responsibility of frameworks hierarchical is applied properly . 
it must give to the institution and to its director of real opportunities of achieve the best possible management . 
on the disciplinary procedure , we see here also much of promises but , hitherto , no rule , no clear statement precise on how these rules must be applied and even the question of external is still not definitively resolved . 
this transformation is indeed necessary to be god of a fair and cannot be inspired by the rules . 
as for any new which changes the situations established , it is clear that it must be careful . 
however , we withdraw the amendment 6 and ask a vote by division on the last part of the amendment 15 because we do not believe that the system in of the ecb in corresponds to the situation . 
in my last mandate in this parliament , the president of the commission was delors and it was with the commissioner brittan and , before it , the commissioner cockfield . 
mr president , commissioners , ladies and gentlemen , this is with a expectations that we alongside justified this reform . 
the questions such that the crisis of the bse , the oil price shock of oil and the gases have a strong european dimension . 
the public must also have the feeling that the commission is really accessible and transparent . 
for the european parliament , the reform is a crucial issue on which it can influence as budgetary authority and legislative . 
it defines a number of important procedures for clear to a official , by various channels , of denounce the shortcomings potential in the institution which the employs or to the outside of it . 
therefore , i am sure that we have the pleasure of you listen to the future . 
let me , mr garriga polledo , you point out of quickly that the financial categories of are maintained . 
the reform must be supported and accepted by the staff of the commission . 
it seems we that a reform cosmetics in this time of changes . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , i would firstly stress the quality of the report of initiative of mrs sauquillo on the reform of the commission and its impact on the efficiency of the union of relations with the european countries developing . 
we want a greater responsibility . 
before of speak of aid to the projects , it must try to remove all the causes of the exploitation , in seeking and in pursuing those which have in profit , which abused of people who live in the need . 
that is precisely because that mr nielson is fair to this collegial body , that it will certainly this proposal this evening . 
it seems we than in the proposal of the commission , the separation territorial is maintained . 
in 2001 by example , the financial responsibility will be déconcentrées to 22 delegations , 15 delegations additional benefit of a updating of their installations computer and 40 posts of officials will be allocated the external services . 
maritime safety 
but the erika , as the levoli sun , were not of ships french . 
in fact , this issue is the summit of the agenda of the commission for the sinking of the erika fatal it is 11 months . 
we hope that the council transport of 21 december will help to the building of the determination of common european institutions to improve the safety maritime really , in adopting a common position on the whole of three texts . we expect that this is the case . 
i think that we are not far , but we must ensure that this agreement will be applied . 
i understand and welcome the concern the minister that we go down in the new with these two reports , and therefore i judge has priori positive its proposal to this debate of this question in december . 
all this we has allowed for a report parliamentary on the amendment of the directive which proposes improvements of various aspects of leading the strengthening of the system of classification , as and instrument to guarantee the safety of maritime traffic . 
however , the legacy of the waste years where were simply dumped is now up to our days , and sometimes we haunt , often with the consequences serious . 
to this end , the publication of the information is essential , because it is a way vital for the public to obtain information of all , as the is , between other , the introduction of telephone numbers of urgency . 
i expect much of the second series of proposals and of the creation of a european agency of the maritime safety . 
your point is respectable , but we can only negotiate on the results which have been examined the council . 
we know that the control by the port state control did not great case of the maritime safety . we know that all the companies of classification does not market-based their control technical of properly and serious , but rather of sloppy way . 
it should not that the credibility that we seek to restore threatened by of bad actions of the part of the commission . 
that is not to these responsibilities must remain outside of our waters and of our ports . 
the report watts up the measures against the risks of which serious or flag-of-convenience , without remove these flags . 
i am pleased that the proposals of the commission have included the main requirements by the elected coastal french : ban of single hull oil tankers , strengthening of controls in the ports , and assessment of companies of classification . 
i also share its idea of a incentive to impose the instruments of data of travel . 
the guarantees of competency of a ship require of measures important about the companies responsible and to the inspection , as it has already been said . 
in short , the measures are to bring the safety non-binding the level to . this is bad for the men . 
all the world in speak and i think fully justified that the 25 % today necessary for this control by the port state control are not yet achieved . 
the time is more to simple of compromise that some of also will have a number quite difficult to achieve . 
on the society of classification , i would like to this opportunity - it is also my task - stress important : the central point of the current debate seems to on the responsibility . 
on the controls port , it must make the regulation still stricter . 
the laxity of large companies to is of the sign that they are more powerful that the institutions elected . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the question on the safety of ships , and therefore the safety of people and the protection of the environment , is certainly of a very great seriousness . 
the reports which have been tabled are in this sense . 
we agree with the taxation of a threshold for the damage personal or the deaths and the damage material , leaving member states the possibility of meet these limits . 
the new technologies and the improvements in the concept of ships play in this area crucial also . 
it must move forward to a consensus on the highest possible level of regulation and of maritime safety . 
i am pleased to tell that the commission will support to of many amendments submitted in the framework of these three reports . 
the commission can accept the amendments 6 , 7 and 8 but it cannot accept that the amendment 1 . 
the imo must normally adopt formally the timetable of decommissioning in of its meeting of april . 
the task of the commission is to confirm that the society of classification continues to the quality of set by the directive , the commission is also a followed the performance of companies of classification . 
the commission appreciate the support expressed in favour of the limit initial . 
a time of more , this accident demonstrates the urgency of adopt measures of community cooperation , of prevention and rehabilitation of , for the protection of our seas . 
mr turco , i have , of course , your message and i will consider . 
this is in principle positive . on the other two reports , that the report on the and the report on the port controls , it is of points of view , and the parliament is that which has the approach the more rigorous on the most of questions . 
madam president , i have a proposal to change the amendment in this sense , so it is by these words : ' urges in this respect , the council and the commission ' . 
report ( a5-0329 / 2000 ) mr pomés ruiz , of the behalf of the committee , on the white paper on the reform of the commission ( the only the committee com ( 2000 ) ( ) 0200 - c5-0445 / 2000 - 2000 / - 2000 / 2212 ( cos ) ) 
mckenna report ( a5-0336 / 2000 ) 
the impunity of capital is strengthened by the privatisation of classification bureaux , past the hands of shipowners , and by the lack of a real control of the part of national authorities , even by the complicity of these last . 
that is why it is positive that the rapporteurs watts , sunk as the result and piétrasanta tried to close gaps in the proposal still of the commission . 
the responsibility in the implementation of these measures is based and on the member states . 
the oil monocoque cannot continue to use here if , also , they disappear after 2005 , 2010 or 2015 . 
however , mr hatzidakis is of proposals which restrict those of the commission . 
the promotion of a regulation stricter internationally must remain a fundamental objective of our policy of maritime safety . 
it is particularly important to stress that the principle which is to make the polluter must be fully applied . 
this action community must be restating a reactivation of the imo which , with a real power of police to the ism code would be a instrument , effective , to the image of europol . 
as the costs of the violation of rules will be area than the respect of these , the companies to make a benefit maximum will continue to do the wrong . 
preparation of the council of nice 
instead of learn the rights of the rights and the social rights to the high , the charter will facilitate the operations to the learn to the low . 
unfortunately , this concept is quite absent of proposals of resolution . 
if , as much , i sometimes regretted that the first minister , lionel jospin , has little expressed during this six months ' for because of coexistence ' , i know the strong impetus it has data constantly to its ministers and i want the say . 
on the social area , the proposals are very timid and is not content of effective the commitments made at the summit of lisbon , particularly about the need to strengthen the cohesion of economic and social . 
that is why no decision on the development of the eu should be taken if it risk distancing the citizens of europe . 
the british want of a reform which make europe more responsible and more effective . 
this text is pretext of future ( and of more in more distant ) enlargement to ask the strengthening of a system already to end of breath . 
now , the of a sudden ignite do is not only between the ' great ' and ' the small ' , it is also between the ' great ' . 
. ( sv ) we believe welcome this report , which is of many trends essential the development of the policy of foreign and security , and we support the . 
as each year , this report is the european parliament , in principle on the assessment of the annual cfsp , is in fact the method well-known landslides progressive that , from a breach of nature federalist , achieved in a given area , to seek constantly to the extend , regardless of treaties as the decisions of european . 
stopped for a chat with me , it has heard that the it is in organising a military force of member of europe , a force ready to intervene to maintain the peace in europe and in its villain 
secondly , it is not the european parliament of define the capacity which should have a force european intervention and if , to this , the capacity of intervention must be maritime and air . 
the conflicts which will arise in the future will not resolved by the military intervention , but by means of a policy to the justice social , economic and ecological . 
we are radically opposed to this european army , all as to the nato and to our own national army . 
the statements , by example , on the cfsp and the nato , the go much too far , when it is question of the use threat of the ' employment of the force ' as means of pressure in the actions of prevention of conflicts , this which is contrary to directly the un charter . 
ten years after the upheavals tainted the europe of the is , the ' project of european peace ' which these reports is , that we , a bad signal launched the candidate countries . 
only six of these paragraphs contain passages raising the issue . 
unfortunately , a of aims of clear is of override the national laws on the abortion or even of condemn or of remove the religious opposed to the abortion . 
if they were in informed , several tens of thousands of women involved in the european union would be happy to learn that we look today on a regulation on the work to home in the informal economy . 
mrs smet proposes particularly that there definition of a european domestic work . 
the needs in domestic work should be taken account of the development of legislation on to the employment . 
they have paid their contributions of retirement the various national governments , which have the fact disappear as their speedy examination of skilled prestidigitateurs . 
finally , the group union for the europe of nations remember with force that the citizens of the european union expect more that the never that measures of reform and the young people is the inclusion of the diversity of opinions and of convictions it in our countries . 
on the human resources , the deserves the agents and greater transparency in terms of the policy staff in general must become the strengths of the new administrative reform . 
to the opportunity of this statement of vote , i would like to stress and to stress that our parliament has unfortunately not all the powers that it should have . 
i wish conclude under of point of order . 
in fact , mr barón crespo , the new are contradictory . 
this is not a wish the socialist group . 
that is precisely why we are in difficulty : this is a summit important and all this that we say we will . 
i must point out that the commission is meet afternoon to , primarily , of seek to get the conclusions of the igc . 
( parliament approved the proposal ) 
would of welcome this request . 
and i would like to condemn the fact that recently of , the days of those which observe a a strike of the hunger in support the prisoners to been murdered to rotterdam by a command of ' grey wolves ' . 
this would obviously not been necessary if the council had given in june last more - or its attention , simply - to our recommendation for the first reading and to the proposal amended of the european commission , which abondait in our view . 
thirdly , we must determine if the provisions that we support will help to improve the functioning of the market internal and if they are proportionate to the idea . 
the second concern , of nature itself , we legal has by against incentives to make further the interdependence between the harmonisation of the market and the protection of the health , in the next scrupulously indications of statement on the basis which the court of justice has recently cancelled the directive on the advertising ; only a reading partial of these reasons can lead to the conclusion that these two aspects are incompatible . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , 80 case fatal of the new variant of cjd in europe and the europe , its council of ministers , the commission , the parliament decide to ban the animal and the non-entrée of older horse of more of thirty months in the food chain without prior test . 
we believe that it is normal that the article 95 is the basis of this directive , with the 133 committee , that the commission of the environment , of the public health and of the policy of consumers proposes to now in the amendment 1 . 
in the court , a total of the advertising on the tobacco cannot justify the behalf the single internal . 
on the information that such ' to low tar ' , mild and ' light ' , i remains convinced that they are misleading and i am therefore opposed to amendments 10 and 30 . 
i would also speak of obligation in the treaties . 
the rapporteur , mr maaten , has proposed , with good sense , of strengthen this legal basis with a reference to a different article , the 133 committee on external economic relations , and has also proposed a number of changes of some articles in and that this directive is contested under the case-law of established by the judgment of the court of justice . 
i regret that in same of the commission legal and the internal market , some are position in saying that the refusal of the court of justice on the ban the advertising of tobacco products on the dashes to this directive . 
in fact , as state of the commission of the environment , of the public health and of the policy of consumers , i have had the attention firmly drawn by various groups of pressure on the need to regulate more strictly the presentation and the sale of tobacco in europe . 
however , and that is the fills , i do see in this directive no provision to ban the culture of tobacco in the community , then that even in countries of the greece , as the tobacco grown is if that the terms of this directive , it would be criminal of the use for the production . 
it is also of thank mr byrne for the clarity with which it has explained the basis legal . 
more of half a million of people die each year in the union of consequences of smoking , and this number is doomed to increase if we do not take the measures now . 
to my view , this legal basis is not the any more , not that is why it is right that the trade unions , that the companies and that my colleagues refer to this issue the jobs . 
i would like to see adopt the option of warning by the photographs , the clauses for the advertising of lists of ingredients , the research the european level , the measures of promotion of the health to help the children to not smoking and not to be dependent tobacco , the tar , and of the nicotine . 
this provision the compromise was also present in the commission of the environment , of the public health and of the policy of consumers . 
in my reading of the amendment , the exemption is apply to the article 3 , that the levels tar , nicotine and carbon monoxide . 
but given the nature of the general directive , we cannot separate the a of the other , and we must therefore be of severity everywhere . 
the creation of warnings of a size maximum for some major packages would be a balanced solution . 
finally , 54 amendments of subject in the report , and i have the pleasure of inform you that the commission can accept in 33 , is totally , in part . 
the main argument in favour of these amendments and of a report to the end of a period of five years is in reality to the enlargement of the european union , this which , in the wake of the summit of nice , is particularly relevant and appropriate . 
the time of been seems in final to a quality of life more , the effects of the period positive of the time of been the triumphing largely on the problems passengers of change same . 
the time of been is not the stumbling blocks essential for our common remains , the europe . 
a control single by the commission after five years is enough . 
we must also consider the requirements facing producers of computers and of tachographs electronic , and that of timetables and of agendas . 
madam president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , the research medical , necessary for the patients , must be approved quickly and not bureaucratic , taking however to carefully of ethical limits and in protecting the maximum the participants to clinical against the abuse . 
it is of a distinction important that we are in our report . 
and , even if some points of disagreement with the council remain , the the result that we seek to achieve by the adoption of this directive , is the result of a long and fruitful work of compromise mr liese , our rapporteur , that i thank and congratulate for its participative approach and constructive and by the council which has said cooperative and open the amendments that the commission of the environment has adopted in second reading . 
i am thinking in particular to the research in the framework of the fight against the cancer , but it is in has of other . 
unfortunately , despite the measures taken in this area , of new threats and of new diseases themselves and , of often , the existing medicines are not to fight . it is to the community medical of seek the means modern and more effective of answer to these challenges . 
the vote will take place tomorrow to 12.30 . 
this which was agreed with the council and the commission and , of course , with the commission of the environment of parliament , to do not have of second reading and to continue smooth these programmes in but gap , is to extend of two years the four programmes , as the has asked the commission , but that the appropriations by year so that , if , in the meantime , the new programme in terms of health is adopted and between in force , the extension and the use of appropriations for the second year are not necessary . 
of speaking , it is time that the countries states agree to leave to the european union , and on a question legitimately supranational , greater flexibility and a budget in other therefore : the diseases , they do not know , the borders . 
the international organisations such that europol believe that the imports of drugs in the european union are in fact in increase . 
the public health is a policy national and must remain the . 
the agenda is the debate on the report ( a5-0355 / 2000 ) mrs cerdeira morterero , of the behalf of the commission of freedoms and rights of citizens , of the justice and home affairs , on the initiative of the portuguese republic in view of the adoption of a framework decision on the status of victims in the framework of criminal procedures ( 9650 / 2000 - c5-0392 / 2000 - 2000 / 0811 ( cns ) ) . 
a other initiative international is the statement of un on the fundamental principles of justice on the victims of the crime and the victims of abuse of power , adopted under the resolution 40 / 34 the of un , the 29 november 1985 . 
you will remember perhaps debates on the report di pietro in a time in this house . 
this initiative is three issues : the right of the victim to the information , the access to the justice and the right to the compensation for the damage . 
the aspect the more significant is however , in my view , in the fact that the should finally aware , the level of the union also , of the need to change the point of view by which terms the intervention of the member to of crimes . 
the member states should be forced to set up of special police for the victims of crimes . 
the italy has often called for the extradition of this rights , which has made various murder , to the france , countries where lojacono over 40 , and this so that it can finally serve its death . 
in terms of crime , the victim must always be placed on . 
as you say , the draft framework decision contains three types of measures different : firstly , it stop the rules on the minimum rights of victims , secondly , it stop the specific rules which the objective is to consider the situation of individual victims of crime in a country which is not their country ; thirdly , it encourages the member measures of aid to victims . 
it is already to support the networking the level of european services national aid to victims , to ensure a proper treatment of the victims , particularly to those which do not lie in the countries where the offence was . 
approval of the minutes of the previous sitting 
mr varela , president of the commission of the fishing , responsible on the content , has the floor of new . 
well bravo ! 
in the trialogue of last tuesday , we have still made a last adjustment to the statement common the council and the parliament . 
we have to a solution and for the budget 2001 . 
we must reflect on the internal how , in the area of the policy of promotion , we they will completely transform the current requirements in a transparent procedure . 
we have asked the behalf of this island and we we replied : ' this is the disgrace ' . 
the council adopted to its second reading of the budget in view of agreements with the delegation of parliament , with desire of a vote budget to finance all the priorities of the european union and the real needs and to the capacity real implementation of appropriations . 
the third important of this second reading of the council is the agreement on the allocation of programme ' entrepreneurship ' with and complete the programme ' employment initiative ' for the years 2001 to 2005 . 
of more general way , i would like to stress that the budgetary procedure which will end in a few days has shown all the interest of the interinstitutional agreement of 6 may 1999 . 
the discussions were sometimes tough , but they were always relevant and based on the trade permanent , which have been of better we understand each other and , therefore , of find more easily a agreement , that i hope satisfactory for all . 
it is important that no country of the balkans receive now - because of the democratisation in over in serbia - least of aid that this planned before the recent events in this country . 
of the fact , use , two years repeated of continuation of the instrument , flexibility can be seen of , not to my opinion , as a form of revision of financial perspectives . 
the council we said today that it is prepared to increase the payments of 3.5 % . 
i thank especially the council and the commission for this decision . 
mr president , i would also thank mrs haug for the excellent work it has done . 
i have the impression that , for the say simply , the flexibility , it is for the small and the review , for the amounts important , but we will see these next years how this development . 
we are now in the situation of duty decide if we can approve or not the budget on thursday . we must therefore obviously examine this budget of closely . 
but the interinstitutional between the three institutions are also a of important . they should we offer a common security in terms of planning . 
the problems increasing refer particularly to unemployment , to the crisis of the bse and the pact of stability in the balkans . 
madam president , ladies and gentlemen , i am very pleased to be among you today to you present the results of the french presidency of the union and also to measure the progress in recent months . 
we the promised : it is not of leftovers of nice . 
it concerns the procedure of cooperation which has been largely facilitated in the first and third pillars . 
that is to the time a huge challenge and also a history to the reunification of our continent . 
thanks to this charter our union is strengthens , better guaranteed the values of dignity , of freedom and solidarity of which the based . 
and it had , that is the chemical , ievolu sun , which is abîmait closely the channel islands . 
we we were set of objectives , they have been achieved . 
madam president , ladies and gentlemen , this six months , i believe to the say today , has seen our union is strengthen in is preparing to welcome of new states , to meet the family now that we are assured of work together , is also strengthen in the heart of our citizens on the ground of values , that of the growth and of the employment , that of the solidarity , that of the security and the preservation of the european social model , is strengthen and gain in hearing on the international community . 
( applause ) 
that was inevitable given of the approach followed , but the result is in especially disappointing : firstly , because it leads to make the majority qualified more difficult to achieve , and therefore the blocking easier , then that the logical should be the contrary true in a union is broadening ; 
( applause ) 
in the same time , the statement on the enlargement - which is positive , states that the candidate countries can join the union to the end of the year 2002 , and the heads of government of countries which are currently negotiating applauded nice . it must however take a thing in account : it is as when a child invite friends to a anniversary and that it is not , it has enough of place home and is it is of the money for the participants . 
the ambition of nice was the most important european ambition of a summit for many years . 
madam president , mr president of the republic , mr president of the commission , ladies and gentlemen , the judgment of my group is stringent for the fifteen following the spectacle by that they have offered the european , probably shocked of measure to this opportunity and in direct this it is really in the vision of common , of the spirit of solidarity , of the confidence of mutual main european leaders . 
for all , they are spirit lucid realistic assessment suggests that the very serious consequences which we led the project of europe federal to 27 or 28 member states . 
newton also , mr president , of stress that after nice , the france is a new time as particularly loser . 
madam president , mr president , the group europe of democracies and differences regret that the presidency has not been given the message which it had been sent from july last . 
much has still not the end to which the european union must the lead . 
it is therefore also a limit which must be appreciated . 
i believe that they do not only reflect the view of these three groups , but also that of other groups , which have not been the sign for reasons of technical . 
and it is desirable to promote the development of medicines in the community because and it is possible to make the patients of opportunities of greater benefit of effective treatment . 
i congratulate my colleague mary honeyball of its first report to the european parliament . 
to our great surprise , mr fatuzzo has the floor , and i look forward to know what pensioner it has met and what it has said . 
the victim must be treated as person to face a situation of disorientation and of distress , factors which are probably still more acute if the person is victim in a state that the directive . 
the agenda is the continuation of the debate on : 
it has been discouraging of see concentrate the debates on the question of know to which a vote of more or less of a vote , which gain of the germany or of the france , the netherlands or of the belgium , the portugal or of the spain . 
we we welcome that a new method is introduction and we hope that , behind this hope , which is writing with the possibility of cooperation , the europe will continue to progress , that it will be able to draw up for a constitution tomorrow which gives to our citizens the hope in this great project that is the european adventure . 
the future member states which are the accession will follow the example of egoism given by the member states . 
some are in welcome more that other , but the message of basis is clear : the europe can now be met in a union of european democratic and enlarged , which will be , through the treaty of nice , people-friendly . 
the interests dominate . 
in found agreement at the eleventh hour on the treaty , avoided a crisis which would open called the enlargement in question , but we can speak of a crisis undercurrent that it must now deal with . 
i do not believe that it is more realistic to fight for reaffirm its own national prestige that for the efficiency of the functioning of the union and i do not believe that the european citizens is are involved in mass to follow the actions of flibusterie carried out to nice by their governments . 
and what wonderful project , all of same eleven years , after the berlin wall came down of . 
to the time , they had had the do for the half of the europe , and now we must do for the the europe as a whole . 
the obstacle institutional of invoked after nice . 
firstly , the imbalance institutional : much for the council and little for the commission and the parliament . 
this method has done its time . 
the consequences for the europe in have been absolutely incalculable . 
by example , you know that the beginning of the european union , the minority of blocking could meet this so-called ' two major ' countries today , and it must in three . 
the course arisen , the enlargement is possible , the european parliament will its place in the debate , in the deepening of approaches and of ideas . 
the public of european , not is repository - mr moscovici has reason on this point - do is the addition of national interests which meet and is neutralise reformist and , in this sense , the first minister verhofstadt , has been a message salutary to this . 
we have recommended their ratification . 
personally , i think that the re-weighting of votes must take account of the population , like the european parliament , and should be in the council also . 
but nice , mr president , is not the end of way , but of the point of departure of a new step with many challenges . 
i would like to return to this which has been already the here , today . 
is it seems that it is managed to avoid the paralysis total of the future european union enlarged , the ambitions of the french presidency have not been translated in the new draft treaty . 
in my , mr president , i find that nice deserves mention the inadequate . 
i do not know if the commission will to the end of this debate , but i wonder , in the absence of council , if the commission is also sure that in 2004 , the european parliament will of members czechs , hungarian and polish and of members baltic . 
we have not hidden the need to continue , with the same force and the same determination that we had before nice , on the way of the enlargement to achieve our objective , to know the greatest meeting with the history that the parliament and the commission have for the next years . 
secondly , the problem and especially the funding of balkans is for the whole years to come . 
i wanted to congratulate the rapporteurs , the president of the commission of budgets , the commission , the council and the presidency for the work which has been done , for the conclusion of this agreement which we will of the vote budget of the year 2001 . 
it is good that also means of additional were to provision of smes , which are the main employers . 
in football , we tantamount to a sound judgment . 
precisely because we have a budget and because we have a agreement in the conciliation , do not imagine that all our problems have been settled . 
this importance has anywhere but of treaties , the council of that has sometimes difficult to the recognise . 
these rules must be a commitment commission to a fair distribution of resources and effective human and material for the management of different political , i.e. that the priority of parliament and the political priority of the commission must management of coincide . 
it is therefore a duty common of the europe that of contribute to the safety and to the regeneration of the environment . 
it is much question of the post-nice . 
you have of course right to return always to this in question . 
it is more of fear of a military attack or of a possible expansion of dictatorship . 
in this look well , we note that the russia is , in the budget , much the same level that the morocco , or a little more high , and i do not believe that this is normal . 
it would be very dangerous that the european hooked of the russia on the plan logistics . 
and a programme as tacis has the effect that a very limited in this context , to do not say that it is that a drop in the ocean . 
the birth rate reduction , the death increases and the loss clear the number of people is of a million people . 
mr putin itself , and we would least of that mr putin , said that the question of the future of the chechnya is not the main question . 
this that the become russia , its population , its society , their is indifferent . 
mr president , the european union has approved these recent years several which the russia and which are a good basis for the relations with the republic of russia . 
and then , that means the freedom to the people ? 
a in a second time of the respect of laws . the progress economic contributing also to this stabilisation , the fourth stage is to bring the characteristics of a civil society . 
but it is of a excellent report which , as the common strategy itself , underlines the importance that we attach the relations - the strategic partnership between the union - and the european russia . 
this means that we must concentrate our efforts on the key areas such that the environment , several members have mentioned in the nuclear safety - , the , enclave of kaliningrad itself and the improvement of the coordination between the different financial resources . 
we must avoid the mistake that a member has mentioned earlier , in the beginning of the last century , when the russia was excluded of european affairs after the revolution léniniste of 1917 . we know that the consequences in will be disastrous . 
as you know , the council has adopted a common position on the revision of the directive 90 / 220 / this . 
therefore , i think that this is of this side that you can find the answer the questions that you that . 
therefore , i am all prepared to propose that this debate has taken : it must simply , in the framework choose the most appropriate . 
i have not of information quite specific me to reply to your question supplementary . 
it is not we say that it has not of information specific to this subject . 
the council to remind the honourable member the conclusions that it has adopted in its meeting of the 19 may 1998 on fraud in the sectors of the alcohol and tobacco . 
all the member states have confirmed their will , the fight against the fraud , both internally that in their relations . 
the european union has repeatedly said to the absolute respect it attaches the right of asylum . 
to this , the agreement of partnership acp-communauté european signed in june 2000 to cotonou agreement provides that the community will the later by 2005 the exemption from customs rights for the essential of products from the ldcs . 
i would remind you that the presidency is not here to express the views of individual , that it is not of a government , but of of express this that are , to a time ' x ' , a moment ' tonnes ' , the positions of the council . 
a system of achat-destruction will be established for these cattle not tested , to compensate the farmers in the market price . 
the french presidency , from the beginning , has been as concern of allow a response to this european crisis which is a crisis food , a crisis of society and a health crisis . 
in the framework of the process of barcelona , the algeria has agreed to a number of principles which the respect of the state of law . 
- i have already had the opportunity , it had , of you present a few on the preparation of the session of the house extraordinary general un on the monitoring of the for the children who will take place in september 2001 . 
subject : obligations of the turkey in the framework of its agreement of the union partnership with the european terms of the proposal of the commission on to the agreement of partnership between the european union and the turkey , the council is called to re-examine the situation of differences in outstanding , the consequences for the process of accession , particularly , in order to promote their solution by the use of the court of international justice , this for the end of the year 2004 the later . 
the council , in the framework of the partnership which it has to speak , we intend to this question with the turkish government ? 
there no respect for the rights of defence , and the mutual recognition is contribute and how will ? 
furthermore , it is to each member state of take the decision national , sovereign , from or not the troops national in the operation . 
subject : importance of the tax for the functioning of the internal market the president of the commission , mr prodi , has recently assured in a article of november the financial times that it is not wanted look or of rates common in the european union in saying that the rates of national parliaments ' is and must remain the ' . 
the questions 23 to 32 will be replied to in writing . 
the agreement of stabilisation and association of the european union and of the republic of croatia is the right time . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i congratulate mr ortuondo larreamr katiforismrs sandersmrs for his report and especially for the speed with which it has product this report . it was in fact important of rapid response to the continuation of changes in croatia , which mrs stenzel has of we speak . 
the development in this area is particularly valuable . 
in 199192 , more of 250 000 croats have been driven out of krajina and , of slavonia western and of slavonia eastern . 
clearly that this year is to be of a white for the south-east europe . 
i do not think that the will of small assessment on a year . 
it is for a point we of important and we can , i hope , the count on your support when we come back consult you formally a time the agreement negotiated . 
the reactions of the opposition wahid government are many and the process seems stagnate . 
the heads belong either as a are always imprisoned also . 
we ask also to the commission of this european follow direction . 
the terms of the communication of the commission that date the beginning of the year are therefore justified , even if characterized a certain euphoria of these changes arising certainly . 
the justice which is not made and the camps of refugees which is necessary subsequent surveys stretch are of areas of confrontation between the old and new powers in indonesia , they are of the fragility of the process of democratisation . 
the situation more worrying is that the of moluccas , where the fighters of jihad have a leeway unacceptable . 
the irian jaya is also victim of the migration policy . 
we must of choose the priorities , we cannot interfere the questions environmental , social , economic with the problem essential the respect of the democracy and the rights of the rights , which must be clearly a priority of our relations policy with the indonesia . 
this resolution says decisively that the irian jaya is part of the indonesia . 
the situation has certainly improved and we must encourage the president wahid , but of very serious problems remain . 
it is certainly unacceptable that tens of thousands of refugees that will benefit its are of hostages to the thank you bandits of armed which , because of national patriotism indonesian , trying to learn in pay out for their past criminal . 
it account because of its size : this is the fourth countries of the world by its population . it account because of its economic dimension , because of its role the level of the region and , finally , because of its impact on the environment . 
that is why we must combine the means and the instruments police , administrative and criminal as between the member states that the level of the eu . 
( the president cut the speaker off ) 
mrs schreyer , you we have several , ladies and gentlemen here that in both commissioner of the from , you see that it was especially of your duty of guarantee the independence of olaf . 
that is the same establishment of a financial administration to the european level which creates the problems seen the bad concept of models of distribution of the european taxes in the framework of the community ' ; the rest , these models are , in many cases , not desired . 
i would like to congratulate the rapporteur , a person that i appreciate and that i greatly admire as individual and policy , for his report . unfortunately , i do not the can . 
the report is on the protection of financial interests of the community and on how we get this question . that is the main points . 
by lack of time , i will confine myself to a brief presentation of these various points . 
the debate is closed . 
it is a legislation to protect european companies against the effects of such a bad management and the commission has now undertaken to establish its own regulations to ensure the speed of payments . 
we have other mechanisms to our provision to be light case of fraud previous which were past steady advance so far . 
mrs schreyer , you quoted the council in saying that a member state is to the creation of a european public prosecutor . 
also , i think that it is very sensible in ourselves to the court this it is precisely these of reports . 
the commission nor or the member states can do more escape their responsibility and in particular to the reject each other . 
it has said in the frankly , regret that it is . 
the involvement of the commission and of the court of auditors in the drafting of this report has been a very useful and approach , i think , very deliberate of your part . 
you can see to my speech that it is interesting to deepen the debate on these proposals to see how the strengthen responsibilities in this area . 
the first lack of this text is important lack of harmonisation . 
i believe therefore that the article 4 must also be improved . 
in the single market , the investors , that it is the private investors , of companies or of fund , should be able to exercise of shareholders the benefit of companies in which they invest and for themselves . 
we cannot condone to the reality : a acquisition of actions are of restructuring of staff , of redundancies , and so on . 
that said , what effect risk the amendments that we are tabling as parliament ? 
what should be the concern dominant of a legislation governing the acquisitions ? that is the principle on which we diviserons we perhaps tomorrow . 
it should however be easier to resolve the question of what will be the authority of control competent . 
the amendments the rapporteur generate a confusion on the disputes , and we would vote in favour of wrong of the confusion as of disputes potential . 
a thing that i would like on this directive on takeover bids , that is to defend the very strongly to the million voters of my country and the million of people who have the plans of retirement and of economies based on the investment in stock . 
this procedure , which is already in several other member states , is of course the area of tenders from , but with still much further and could be possibly studied further in the framework of the law general review of the commission proposed by companies . 
i would like finally to it is of a framework directive , like that has expressed earlier this parliament . 
the right of continuation is the right incessible and inalienable of artists creators of receive a part of revenue from of the resale of their works . 
it is firstly the lobbyists british which fear the disappearance of jobs . 
the compromise adopted by the council is therefore more that a low reflection of the initial proposal of the commission , largely supported by the european parliament in first reading . 
i account also on the support of the commission , the least for the a of three major points of dispute . 
it is also of the vitality and the competitiveness of the european market of the art . 
in a different case , the picture had been very certainly sold also , in america by example . 
this amendment is acceptable that in part . 
competition of postal services 
that is my proposal , mr savary . 
firstly : we must ensure to achieve the prices for the postal services . secondly , we must ensure the standards of quality high for these services and thirdly , to ensure the availability of an widespread everywhere in the european union . 
the commission has been more legal demanding on the limit of price of services reserved the provider of universal service , but its proposal on the limit of weight to 150 grammes is the same and it rejected the limit of 50 grammes provided by the proposal of directive . 
finally , we cannot accept a new date of liberalisation as it will not of assessment for . 
you know how the matter is complicated ; it to the brakes ideological , put the two sides sometimes . 
even if some in this parliament are perhaps in approve these proposals , force is see that they have been devastate the postal services of the european union . 
these proposals would also to the closure of small offices of rural post , which the survival of postal services depends . 
if we continue to this rate , it we must closely of a century to achieve the opening of the market of postal services in europe . 
madam president , i would like to make three comments . 
by this new directive , we must be clear on a point specific . 
it is not and do it , and must not be in and . 
in a situation of fair competition , the monopolies can be that they understand their area . 
but if grandmother welcomes of receive a factor nice , this which is also part of requirements of an of quality , this should not we lament the contrary , but we welcome . 
those which are not prepared if in a negotiations , those which are not the report asked for 1997 on the consequences , those who argue on a plan ideological - we cannot achieve the objectives mentioned precisely by you that if we liberalising , liberalising , liberalising - , must not surprising lurching back on the nose . 
mr bolkestein , the commission is the guardian of treaties . 
so , it is as if the we calculait the average income of the billionaire and of the lacking , this which is give a figure satisfactory but cannot be regarded as socially acceptable , clearly in the right of existence of the lacking . 
the time have changed , mr simpson . 
the governments which are in the were not socialists but of conservatives or liberal . 
therefore that the proposal has been presented by the commission , i immediately known that it would never accepted in its original form . 
because if we are all of the agreement on the principle of openness and of liberalisation , it is not least in that the pace is important . 
the effects of the first directive are not made public because the consequences are obvious : losses of employment and deterioration of conditions of work , inequality of operation of public service on the whole of territory , particularly in the campaigns and the areas popular . 
the proposal of the commission provides a gradual opening of this sector and , to my opinion , will bring a improvement of these services and that of price more competitive . 
this which is essential for the development of the direct marketing sector . 
i in is the british directly . 
let me say this to year post : if this compromise is accepted , you have of what suggesting a little . 
it is we have to wish that a day we know exceed the situations acquired and overcome the also patiently laid selfish to make progress really the europe . 
only 3 % of the market of the correspondence has been liberalised . 
it will be passed by the technology and boudé by the consumers that they do not for their money . 
for the is help , it is for a real competition , of a way controlled and gradual , involved to a timetable something which is predetermined . 
on the amendments 60 and 61 , i support the principle of completion of the internal market to a later stage , to determine in a reasonable period . 
the commission will have the same opinion and the council decision on the proposal of the commission as it can be made good . 
however , the parliament must now decide . 
my second report is therefore much the first and includes the amendments by the plenary . 
it is true , commissioner , that we have some reservations and some objections . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i would like to congratulate the rapporteur , mr dary which we has clearly mentioned the reform , its history and its summary - that i shall not repeat . 
it is in a number of regions of the community , particular the outermost regions , in a number of difficulties to be competitive on the markets and which the a few of products is precisely the bananas . 
this organisation discouraged at rather the chaos in the because it seeks to establish the rules which we align ourselves all . 
it is a question that this is one which have been the most of all the institutions . 
we must continue to give without complex to these producers live in the means of buying in priority their production . 
mr president , the rapporteur deserves thanks and of of the sympathy for have managed this difficult report . 
of same , i thank the presidents of groups of this parliament which have accepted the stubbornness and the obstinacy of members of this proposal to that of the reform of the banana sector is discussed today in this house , that we can to make our opinion compulsory and be prepared for the meeting of the council of ministers of the agriculture which will soon and start the year 2001 with a new reform of the bananas . 
we a here of the so-called unanimity in the commission of the agriculture and rural development on the report of mr dary . 
ladies and gentlemen , i have the honour of inform you of the presence of we a delegation of parliament korean in the gallery . 
this support has been the council a positive decision to media . 
report ( a5-0377 / 2000 ) of mr trakatellis , the behalf of the commission of the environment , of the public health and of the policy of consumers , on the proposal of decision of parliament and the european council unifil some programmes of action community in the area of the public health adopted by the decisions 645 candidates entered / 96 / this , 646 kurds have disembarked / 96 / this , 647 / 96 / this , 102 / 97 / this , 1400 / 97 / this and 1296 / 1999 / this and amending these decisions ( ( com ( 2000 ) 448 - c5-0400 / 2000 - 2000 / 0192 ( cod ) ) 
mr president , i would simply like to point out , in reference to the commissioner explanations this night to 00.05 a.m. , that the amendment 1 committed the commission . 
( the parliament accepts the oral amendment ) 
amendment no 2 : 
the parliament had the duty of come and of restore the majority of these amendments - for this which is the size of the warning , the inclusion of ingredients , the protection of consumers and particularly of young people . 
is , for some members , two categories of people : that the that protection and that that is in the danger for reasons of economic ? 
i would particularly like to explain why i voted against the ban of export of tobacco beyond of a level of tar / nicotine from the eu and supported the amendments which aim to increase this limit . 
madam president , i would be favourable to the proposal radical of use of images for illustrate the damage that the cigarette can cause to the health , as this is the case in canada . 
i think that all this is positive , even if i would like to - and i would like to take this opportunity to the say - that the spent more for the prevention of diseases . 
i would have preferred that this provision to be by a regulation , which this should better to a subject which concerns the citizens of all the european union . 
the amendments that mr zimmerling has proposed will effectiveness to the vitality of the european market of the art , with the years and , i fear , the very little of artists live which will of this right of resale . 
. ( nl ) it is happy that i thank mr zimmerling for the work it has done in this difficult issue . 
i am in the obligation of vote against this directive . 
and the agreement of stabilisation and association , the cards programme and the european investment bank cannot be the main instruments of the contribution of the european union the economic and social development of the croatia . 
the indonesian government and the army have the duty of clear protect the safety and the life of citizens , whatever their membership religious . 
that is why we must create the new instruments the fight against the fraud the financial interests community . 
this would of the eu a legal area for the single investigations , the proceedings , the trial and the executions of sentences for this type of crime . 
we seem to be lost view of this element . 
the amendments 11 and 13 seek to review the system of quotas after 10 years only and to reject the introduction of the system proposed by the commission customs and demanded by several of our partners trade . 
on the grounds of the tariff preference for the acp countries , we are also of the agreement with the eur 300 per tonne , but we think the word ' maximum ' superfluous . 
it is also fair to that our partners trade accept such a extension . 
the agenda is the statement of the commission on the summit eu / united states of america . 
that is , i recognise the , easier to say that to do , but we must try to resist the temptation - and i know that the secretary albright share this point of view - of these summits is embourber in the details of our relations daily economic and political . 
a main lessons of was that the european should take greater responsibility in terms of safety european . 
would if , for the communication scheduled for the spring , you too details in this point and if , in the analysis of more which has been requested by the other side of this house , you of proposals on all the points , on the way we can achieve to the future of new objectives in the area of dialogue , of the cooperation in terms of foreign policy , of the policy of safety , but also of these issues that are pragmatic by the example of mutual recognition agreements . 
i know also welcome the initiative and the everything but arms ' request to the commission and of use of the summit on the united states to adhere to this initiative . 
it must therefore act to prevent the irreparable which expects those and those which , as justice or leonard pelletier , are in the corridors of the death sometimes for the years . 
it is a very useful idea that we will follow . 
thank you , commissioner . 
however , i fear of i find in the firing by of my own group . 
finally , it must use to the formulae simple of perception of the tax and , more specifically , to the form of investment the subject passive . 
the first conclusion is that we can change without the international framework . 
. mr president , our commission would firstly point out that the current provisions désavantagent the suppliers of these european services : software , treatment of data , information services , ' and concept of sites and information on the web . 
i has always said that a of the first rules legislator should be : am no law that you can do not respect . 
i welcome that , particularly thanks to the commission of the environment , of the public health and of the policy of consumers , the report on the substance to a number of important elements which , because of a competitions of circumstances , have not received a sufficient support in the commission of transport . 
in the same time , we must continue the line which is to ask the revision of the convention of chicago of 1944 still lives on , for a new provision on the world . 
the advantages local short-term given to a countries are the detriment of other member of the european union . 
mr president , in the next decade , the europe will be in first position world for the use of the internet . 
much of people , in fact , mr commissioner , the wonder why the european are always try to establish if of taxes and of new regulations . 
on this point , the convention of chicago is totally obsolete . 
i do not consider the introduction of a common system of vat as a priority and i am not agree that such a introduction is long-awaited . 
therefore , our objective must be of clearing and of simplify our tax systems without increase the rate of taxation , but of in the reducing . 
the option the more desirable securing a zero rate the companies of e-commerce to of the put on a equally with their competing american and other in the world . 
the tax competition is in the interest of citizens and of the economy . 
and , for that pay outside the union are the same obligations that the community tax operators to provide services of the consumers , they must be subject to the vat in the member states of a of their choice and they will apply the rate of vat in force in this member . 
but this matter is not if easy . 
the place where the tax must be applied is a question essential , and the debate on the number of countries which are qualified for the companies have achieved is something which will , in my view , to and to course the united states to be with the wto . 
it is absurd that then that a and londres-bruxelles costs 89 books with virgin airways , by example , the eurostar , which product of less of greenhouse gases and which is a way of more pleasant of travel costs , the equivalent of about 250 books for the same travel . 
mr president , this debate is reviving of old demons . 
finally , the proposals that had been to the french presidency for that the taxation is on the place of consumption , with a obligation for the providers of be made in all the member states . 
the european companies would be disadvantaged by report the companies of third countries and it would be a distortion of the structure of price intra-ue by report the price intercontinental . 
this is in any case be a solution to not to a capital of europe and which is possible only in the area of the oecd and not of a parliament by means of negotiations individual . 
i am perfectly aware that some states of this house feel swamped by the visions contradictory . 
this avoid the complexity in the use of macroeconomic criteria or of same nature . 
i turn to the proposal of minimum level of normal rate . 
therefore , no preparatory work important has still been done in the groups of work of the icao . , and it is very unlikely that the next house general will already renegotiate the convention of chicago . 
this feeling still still today , and it is regrettable , in the spirit of the public in europe . 
the last objective of this directive is the strengthening of the management of emergencies in sea , charging of ports of refuge , in banning the vessels of take the sea in case of strong storm and in asking to the member coastal concerned of implement of more major means of intervention in sea , in case of serious risk of pollution . 
the oil companies we say that they have a funds voluntary . 
i hope that after the impetus given to nice , the doubts and the resistance of some countries have fallen and that we achieve this objective . 
we him are obviously confidence to ensure the safety maritime , because it must know that it will not week without a that we are asked this question with : ' but you , meps , that you to ensure the safety , for change the rules ? ' . 
mr president , the commission knows that the a plans announced by the government british the 8 november 2000 was the introduction of a form of taxation of users of the road as a stickers payable by all we , british or not , for their use the roads of the united kingdom . 
secondly , if , and that the minister in initially the intention , it proposes to tax the lorries foreign to subsidise the carriers of its countries , this is contrary to the european legislation ? 
this imbalance of nature between economic charges and taxes on road in the various member states is a distortion of the competition on the territory of the united kingdom between road haulage contractors nationalities . 
on the question of the use of meat and meat and bonemeal , of their export is covered exactly of the same way by the legislation which governs the production of meat and meat and bonemeal of in the european union , the obligation of withdraw , by example , the materials to risk of the meat and of the meal is covered by the legislation and will be effective to 1 march 2001 . 
the jews are traitors and of unfair . 
i really hope that in every country of the region , we will see that the services educational promote the tolerance rather that the intolerance . 
this answer is not surprising of the part of mr monti . 
no 37 of h-0900 / 00 ) ( : 
the commission will propose also in the same time a mechanism of support temporary defensive designed specifically to counter the unfair of the korea during the period to the conclusion necessary of the wto procedure . 
it is of a problem dramatic . 
the industry user of coke employs the total 70 , 000 people , but this product is that a very marginal part of its costs , around 2 % . 
no 40 of h-0889 / 00 ) ( : 
we have sent our proposal to acp countries practically in same time that our member states to . 
this initiative has also not to subject of the solve , i would like to reassure you , as the quantities additional which could be imported on the market community are weak . 
these countries have unfortunately , given their situation , no capacity of negotiations autonomous and , therefore , that is a gesture that we must , to my opinion , to unilaterally , without any compensation . 
the procedure followed by the commission to give the financial aid requested will be completed soon , and it also includes the which are the ecpat has need for 2001 . 
we have three types of activities in this area . 
the proposal of the commission is not mention the place where could treatment this future court . 
i am not sure of understand what the honourable mean by ' proliferation ' . 
the question of mr berenguer fuster is on the marques tabled . 
i take the as to renew our action and to ensure that the spain to the more quickly possible this that it has to do . 
to my previous question , you replied that this was the fault of the spain and that you be the measures which need to be made . 
it has clarified that which was made earlier . 
the directive 89 / 48 / eec concerns the diplomas couronnant training of the least three years after the higher education . 
subject : communications in the maritime between vaasa in finland of umeå in sweden the traffic in there of the baltic is brought to disappear because it is more profitable , because the shipowners cannot more pursue the duty-free . 
in the city of vaasa that , by example , 550 , jobs have rightly been lost in the field of tourism in the 2 years , perhaps because of the end of the duty-free . 
this proposal to stimulate the development and the use of digital content reflects the objective of the lisbon summit . 
in addition , the commission to draw up the procedures of implementation more effective and more rapid in the area of calls to proposal . 
if we are only the content useful to companies , particularly the weather and the geography , this which is very desirable , naturally , it must not forget that , for the content for the citizens that is much more complicated that of take only the information useful to companies . 
the content digital , which is more the amount that the quality , standardises and limited the cultural diversity and social . 
the second point which is important , is the attention that we must be the smes , the , will start-up-companies . 
by against , when we are of this weakness a under and that we change simply the sign negative in positive that we do believe , more our various languages as of barriers but bridges and that we recognise the as of assets , then this is a basis for a european market and for a certain independence . 
i on all the objectives of this programme : conditions to the marketing , dissemination and use of digital content , to encourage the economic activity , broaden the possibilities of jobs , encourage the development of digital content in european terms and in the united states face . 
therefore , the establishment of conditions appropriate in view of the production of content digital multilingual european is a significant . 
some of them are , in itself , very valuable , but will better place in other instruments that the present decision . 
the different positions can be set out now , the vote is not to the agenda of this evening and if the group of the parliament was of the opinion that parliament should not vote tomorrow , it is then much more correct to make this proposal in parliament , tomorrow in the vote , rather that of the do this evening . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , ladies and gentlemen , of more in more of citizens in europe are victims of noise . 
the member states are free of define when the evening and the night subsequent . 
i am glad of the proposal of the commission , but i consider the a first not in my view , too cautious . 
that is why the reduction and the abolition of the environmental noise directive must be a part of the essential environmental policy in the european future . 
the group of the united supports the gladly , even if we want go still further in the research of solutions conclusive and the in approach of those which are of the money with the pollution . 
but , the bickering and the fight which is paper in the corridors , in the commission , to side , below , above , recently and still here to the moment . 
consequently , in my country that will a enormous difficulty to accept the proposal of the commission , to less that it is foresees a mechanism sufficiently flexible to that the way of life that we have inherited of our ancestors , furthermore both appreciated both by the spanish that by the foreign visitors , will . 
however , i would recommend this report and , of course , the proposal of the commission to this house . 
secondly come the daughter directives on standards of quality . 
i am favour to the need to harmonise the indicators of noise and the methods of evaluation , to all the cards of noise , the development of plans of action in view of reduce the levels of noise and of protect of areas calm , and that the need to extend all the area of information the public . 
secondly , this proposal adopted a new approach to assess the situation in general terms of noise in europe in the number of people affected by the noise . 
the commission can accept the amendments following in principle or in part : it is of amendments 6 , 7 , 12 , 13 , 17 , 21 , 22 , 25 , 28 , 29 , 32 , 39 , 42 , 44 and 45 . 
furthermore , in general , the additives cannot be used for the foodstuffs not processed , this which is the case here - which have no treatment with a substantial change of their country . 
mr president , with the ppe group , we have voted for the report lannoye in the commission of the environment , of the public health and of the policy of consumers , and it calls fully to our expectations . 
no one we in speak . 
the agenda is the report ( a5-0372 / 2000 ) of mr staes , the behalf of the delegation of the european parliament committee of conciliation on the draft common , approved by the committee of conciliation , of directive the european parliament and the council amending the directive 95 / 53 / this setting the principles on to the organisation of official controls in the area of feedingstuffs . 
i have received then of the part of the french presidency a clear signal , a very clear message , a message of type ' no pasarán ' . 
after long negotiations , a compromise acceptable has now been reached in committee of conciliation : it is on the insurance that the measures of protection taken by the commission will in force that they have been replaced by a new decision , and on the commitment of member states to give their support total the experts of the commission for the investigations and the controls that they will on the ground . 
i welcome this legislation . 
the structural funds of the eu - mainly through the esf - , and the appropriations treasuries national should always be targeted on the development of disadvantaged areas and poorest in our societies . 
the cities of europe are important poles of economic , political and protection . 
a clear legislation and a control of its application are scrupulous of means of action additional . 
the commission also its recognition for the support substantial provided by the european parliament for this proposal and for the many useful amendment which have been tabled . 
given the nature of the activity , the commission can accept the amendments 10 and 23 . 
i say ' famous ' because it is a subject to the very way , and you will agree with me that it will not a day without that the press is rightly on the principle of precautionary , on all of nothing , and to good they , but more often be . 
the maximalists seek to block the innovation and the progress , and that the minimalist advise of do use the precautionary principle of that in case of risk significant for the health and the environment , it is above of a threshold to define , but we do not know very well how . 
the clarification of roles is a prerequisite for the restoration of the necessary confidence in the public scientific community , and in the policy-makers to know - , we , the politicians . 
in these situations , a margin of safety is retained , to the purposes of caution . 
we have also asked that the measures are taken in the wto - a regulation , perhaps - which significant steps were taken it is possible , in the context of the wto , to use of other obligations , such that those which we must we do under the together in environmental , in view of extend the scope of the principle of precautionary . 
of course , it is also essential to strengthen the value of legal principle of precautionary to do in a standard of international law . 
the art of the life is to manage these risks and rightly uncertainties . 
sometimes it the use too and the makes it more commonplace , sometimes it the use too little and our indignation . 
i think , by example , the phthalates in toys . we have some had the idea curious to toys in the sweets , of ice and other food . 
it also for the requirements of the commission , which request that a detailed analysis of risks were previously . 
the resolution urge the commission to make use of guidelines adopted and to integrate the principle of precautionary , each time that it is necessary , in the development of its legislative proposals and in all its actions . 
it is not possible to provide a threshold of general de minimis . 
in point for the first time the sakharov prize to the defenders of human rights which are to the internal of the union , the european parliament says that solemnly contraventions of they must be combated without compromission . 
madam president , ladies , gentlemen , initiative ' basta ya ! ' wish , first , express its gratitude to this parliament for the recognition honourable it it . 
it is not only of murders . 
i therefore ask you to follow and of me trust . 
( parliament adopted the legislative resolution ) 
madam president , if the house to the allows , i would like to explain to my oral amendment 51 . 
report ( a5-0334 / 2000 ) of garcía-margallo y marfil , mr the behalf of the commission economic and monetary , on the communication of the commission on the taxation of fuel of aviation ( com ( 2000 ) 110 - c5-0207 / 2000 - 2000 / 2114 ( cos ) ) 
this agreement is attractive for some companies but negative for the environment and the democracy . 
the milestone happened since our previous debates budget is obviously the crisis of the so-called ' bse ' . 
this clearly refutes the spirit and letter of the decisions , mentioned earlier , the heads of state and of government . 
the parliament is managed to impose a few priorities - particularly important , a greater involvement in the fight against the unemployment and the poverty , a number of problems linked to the environment and to the equality between women and men , and so on . we have voted against the attacks of the right brought the programme life and the lobby of european women . 
the importance of the funding provided for the kosovo is not without raising of questions on the legitimate capacity real absorption of this region of yugoslavia , of 350 million that it was previously of it in 2001 affect . 
nothing justifies the granting of tax through a form of distribution determined . 
a deadline is a clear answer to the postal market players and allows national monopolies of prepare more thoroughly to a liberalisation . 
can we dropping of a simple decision , possibly petitement majority , a concept of postal concept , which is rooted and its explanations in the peculiarities of each member ? 
the threshold of 50 grammes proposed by the commission , involved to a price line to twice and a half the tariff public , is really too drastically and would devastating on the postal services universal . 
hence our opposition firm and clear to the whole of its about . 
we believe that the post is not of the competence of the eu , even if the proposal after the reading of the commission is considerably better that the initial proposal of the commission . 
dary report ( a-0374 / 2000 ) 
we consider however that must be protected the consequences of this war the small producers who work on their plantations without exploit person and their income to the fluctuations of the market . 
in the article 10 , the freedom of expression is of obligations and the responsibilities can lead to the conditions , the restrictions and of sanctions . 
we do pleasing of such a initiative when the we know that the value of content digital european is 5 % of gdp in terms european and 4 million in term of jobs . 
in these conditions , this is particularly their coherence and their unity which have assured the united states a leadership on this market of the future . 
i hope also that there will , in 2004 , a reduction in this distribution of powers and that the we apply the criterion of subsidiarity to that the regions and the autonomous regions can have their status in the union . 
we cannot that we in congratulate . 
by example , on the trade negotiations mentioned highest , the national parliaments will be left with nothing of their rights of recent ratification , and a country , is it is the council minority , will it when a negotiation violera its interests . 
we had , repeatedly , of the tried in deter and the summit of nice has very clearly shown that a agenda considerably extended would have to a lack of result this year , this which have been disastrous for the enlargement . 
given the importance of fundamental decisions to take the summit of nice , are to caesar this which is to caesar . 
so , this is that the parliament , it is a control on the taxation and the questions of security social . 
the decisions the council - obtained to the squeezed for the night - not provide a sound ; they have enormous shortcomings on the transparency , the constitution of a identity , the democracy , the participation of citizens and the aware of the reform . 
that is why we must consider its conclusions as the result of a compromise which person is out fully winner , or overcome . 
the contrary , the power of national democracies , to force of limit increasingly the right of veto and of give always more power of the parliament of the eu . 
therefore , you must vote in favour of this provision which limit still the taxation of had , because of this way the ticket air we will always cheaper , so we can travel more by this means of transport . 
' ' is not happening on the buildings , you could receive a pot of flowers on the head . 
the complexity and the variety of the technical and the process of structural change require of integrate absolutely all the partners local and regional in the partnerships of development , which are involved in the development of programmes of the strategic regional policy for each region . 
we must therefore would of the suffocate or of damaging . 
we could say that the innovation is to the scope of all the agents surrounding the process of production . 
the gap between the regions developed and the regions in delay is in fact much more important the level of development technological that the level of gnp . 
as we know , the bureaucrats have as the main argument risk of mistakes . 
i do not know if the fact that three women have signed today the european budget is a direct of the initiative risi , but i would that the christmas that we are decide also benefit the women . 
reduce the budget in a chapter as it , devoted to the pilot schemes , to the new ideas on local development and urban , giving the results more that acceptable - which have been to the basis of community programmes also valuable the local level that the urban and are interreg is also a mistake . 
as the said mr rack , i have never understood and i do comprendrai never this regional policy and this policy of cohesion as a kind of alms that the the poorest regions . 
that is why , when i am in the negotiations , currently , the docup , beyond the innovative actions , i speak here , i am the mainstream extremely careful to return in each of programming documents of a regional of access to the society of the information and i are the quality , beyond the scope of this programme regional , particularly in this for the smes , the institutions educational and even the farms . 
mrs schroedter , mr izquierdo collado and mr josu ortuondo larrea , have to rightly mentioned , this question of envelopes budget . 
the price of new buildings naval have fallen recent years and have reached their lowest in 1999 , because of this policy south korean . 
the commission has been proceed to a vote to ensure that this special point was to the agenda of the debate today . 
this concept is also in the treaty . i have not the time of this in detail . 
however , the proposal of the commission , which includes a aid to the research and development , the complaint against the korea to the wto , they work with the lower prices , even by report the price of is , , and the possibility that there has of measures to aid transitional both that the use is not resolved is perhaps , that we , a solution more or less fragile , but it is the least of a solution . 
in the same time , it is imperative to increase the pressure on the korea , if possible in the framework of the oecd , in adopting the anti-dumping measures . 
so , we support the unemployment and this is in reality the other which are of affairs with the shipyards . 
i think that it is a excellent general of the european industry , a real general . 
this procedure does not of rapid results . this can take it up to two years to come to the final conclusion , if it is . 
this mechanism would be applied to the conclusion of the procedure committed to the wto . 
i am sure that we are all united today to defend with force and with force the freedom in europe , but i would like to say that , more that the solidarity of the european parliament gentlemen , the spanish have need of their commitment . 
by a day of may , sailing on the waters of sicily , its heart nuclear was of signs worrying deterioration of . 
it would be alarming that , to this situation , we do not act as soon as possible . 
in the two , we are the need that the two member states concerned , the uk and the spain , are working closely together the research of the solution the safer for the repair of submarine , bearing - of course , the public informed promptly . 
we have heard the statements of responsible of the fleet british saying that the and very little and other which said exactly the opposite , that it was important and that it required of repairs long and difficult . 
i know that the house assume that , without these commitments , it would have been present . this is me which has the represent . 
the commission is in the process of analyse . 
since they are already initiated , are realistically the range of options which now the united kingdom and the authorities of gibraltar . 
the cooperation and the calm are the methods in use in our union . 
the british government is as the has fact recently the russian government in of subsequently sank in to the of its submarines a . 
mr president , too , i would like to express my full support to our colleagues spanish the last murder of the eta terrorist . 
the commission , in the answer clear that it has given two months and in its response to today , has taken the responsibility of the recognise , of that the proposal of the resolution group people 's which , with other banalisations the subject , we has prevented the share of , the do has not recognised . 
the minister main the government of gibraltar , mr peter caruana , has wisely , when it has asked to a panel of experts of the take personally aware of the development of the situation . 
that is and remains that we the attitude the more coherent and that which guarantees the better the interests and the safety of all the parties concerned . 
b5-0908 / 2000 by maij-weggen and posselt , the behalf the group ppe-de ; 
in 1980 , the unhcr has identified of five million of refugees . 
today we welcome the unhcr and the whole of the staff humanitarian . 
mr president , the commission endorses , of course , the support that the parliament is the unhcr to the opportunity of 50th anniversary of this institution . 
i would like to develop a broader question which has a direct link with the words that the honourable member has said to all the time . 
b5-0909 / 2000 of mrs pack and other , the behalf the group ppe-de ; 
the last problem that i would like to address concerns the crisis which have taken to the border between the serbia and the kosovo . 
that is that is the place of milosevic and not the congress of the to belgrade . 
in this which we regard , the mentality of ethnic groups of kosovo who still between them must change and become a mentality made of mutual respect . 
i do not want sing our own praise , but we can say also that the european union has reacted very quickly to this new situation . 
b5-0915 / 2000 of mr medina ortega and other , the behalf the group 
b5-0918 / 2000 of mrs napoletano and other , the behalf the group 
the chilean government has guaranteed that the chile , the general pinochet would have a law and in fact , it has now lost his immunity and the judicial authorities chilean started prosecuting him . 
let me remind you of it is important that we support this resolution , now that pinochet is the chile , this that we have not been to when the united kingdom was pinochet . 
i declare the aware that these principles are those parties of the nations and of greens of this house . 
mr president , before the start of my speech , i would like to the condemnation of the attack which has cost a elected the people , a activist and a advise the the in catalonia , in spain . 
it is for this reason that i welcome that my group policy and i believe , the majority of our parliament , is not lead to play the of resonance for the exploitation of the crisis in course . 
their life is in danger . 
the league of human rights is suspended , its local are put in duties and its president , moktar trifi , is convened to , as it has to be said , you the 25 december . 
the defenders of human rights , the union , the university of journalists , and the students are member of red constant part of the authorities of . 
it is in a member very critical . 
the harassment daily and the tabassage of all the democrats are really question . 
i hope that in this case the judicial system chilean will continue to be independence and of efficiency . 
we know that the heads of mission of the european union follow closely the situation in the countries policy . 
finally , i would like to mention the role played by the parliament crucial , which has contributed to increase the awareness and to intensify the dialogue on these issues , by means of visits members and of public debates as it . 
laurent gbagbo must have a real policy of reconciliation , national through the break with the speech on the ivoirité , the amendment of the constitution racist , and by the elections democratic where no of candidate is excluded , otherwise the risks of secession and of civil war that will grow . 
mr president , the new of côte d ' ivoire are for the concern of months justified in the european citizens and the concern corresponding in our parliament . 
the conditions necessary are the following : that no one warning , that the excluded supreme court by the military power disappear , that the head of state is means clear in the process of restoration of the democracy and that the listened the opinion of the committee for the national reconciliation . 
the concept of ivoirité is , for my part , perfectly based . 
a six or so core of exemplary are now available to the president . 
mr president , the behalf of greens , we withdraw our proposal also of resolution . 
mr president , i confirms this that mr posselt . 
( the minutes were approved ) 
to the respect of these people , the member states must implement various political , actual also of the problem of the support that to that of the coverage of costs , especially for those of disabled which families are actually not in acquire a charge final and total . 
mr president , this is a great pleasure for me to speak group of of european and of congratulate the rapporteur for this excellent report . 
to the moment , thanks to the improvement of resources , of the health information , of care , housing and of systems of pension , of more in more of people live more old . 
this is especially the governments of member states , the administrations of member federal , of provinces of common and which , by many of recommendations , can be somewhat useful . 
the basis of this vision of the life is also in the family , in which all be human growing as child . 
it is often that , in the last years of the life , it is seriously ill , it is totally disabled , we need the support of all . 
finally , i would like to insist on a point on basic healthcare . 
the speech was also : the women must not work for the men have that a employment . 
in first analysis , for many , this can be as a disability . 
we must find the resources in . 
the many elderly active should we motivate to fight for a society in which the solidarity between the generations is more that a good floor . 
these measures must be the existing situations and characteristics on the quality of life and the self-sufficiency economic . 
only the efforts common and supported can we help . 
it must be a leeway discretionary for the preferences and decisions individual . 
if find all the objects which are to our colleague , request of the bring , particularly its glasses , because that mrs flemming was in your back , mr fatuzzo . 
finally , it should reintroduce explicitly in the text the possibility of actions in favour of their and logo . 
it must also insist on the methods of production which are protect the welfare of animals and of the environment . 
it is also why i welcome that this week , the european parliament , we have created a group of work for the biotechnology . 
of course , these actions of communication institutional must rather supplement the operations advertising orchestrated by the great distribution particularly . 
if the proposals of parliament , which by three time have achieved the majority of our voice , were applied , but it is still a example of the impotence of parliament - for that the that can be cultivated with the legumes or of using oil seeds and that the pasture land are allowed , we had of more of vaccinate and therefore of more of the protein fodder . 
it is normal that these costs are borne by the producers , the sellers and the organisations , and not by the european union . 
we must we ask why we have failed in the past to encourage the industry of the european union to use to the money which was available . 
of course , if we can produce and promote of food best for the environment , in considers the welfare of animals , and the sell on the markets , then we really achieve the objective for which cap has been designed . 
amendments nos 9 and 22 which are the establishment of a county of management special , and on the amendments 7 , 19 , 23 and 27 , which require other changes of procedure , it must add that the commission must be to the provisions of procedure coherent . 
all those who insist that in europe we like still the good things have reason . 
mr president , it is scientifically proven that the consumption of moderate wine is a of best prejudices against the cancer , the collapse , the alzheimer , and i in happening . 
. ( nl ) i would like to praise the rapporteur for his work .
