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 ha
