we know full well that the current treaties are not enough and that , in future , it will need to develop a better structure and different to the european union , a structure which will also allow well clear what the competence of member states and which belongs to the union . more constitutional 
first of all to the economic and social problems for those who covers , in spite of sustained growth , as a result years of effort by all our fellow citizens . messages concern 
the current situation , unsustainable above all for many hauliers self-employed and for the agricultural sector , improved without a doubt . 
yes , it is good to reach agreement on the procedures , but we have to ensure that this system is not likely to be used as a weapon in politics . 
now they are also clear rights which must be respected . 
i agree with your message warning against the return to which some people find themselves tempted , to the intergovernmental methods . 
many of us who want a federation of nation states . 
the rapporteurs have drawn attention to the quality of the debate and also the need to go further . of course , i can only agree with them . 
i say that , before i make a statement , we need to learn , learn and measuring forces available , given that the words must be realistic and reciprocate always to reality forces and the objectives that all of us we intend to do . latter political 
i would like to see started to make on this closer cooperation in order to make a few examples of this new potencialidad union . 
the vote will take place today at 12.30 p.m. ) 
the commission cannot accept amendment no 12 . 
i shall be voting in favour of the adoption of the draft regulation . 
the reports of the european court of auditors does not leave as well as pointing out these subestimaciones , from greece to portugal . 
consequently , we have not voted in favour of this report . 
according to its advocates , these buses are not just cheaper and versatile internationally , but also more environmentally friendly because they use less fuel per passenger . 
also calls for setting up reference values to disseminate best practice throughout the eu . 
a binding charter covering every case possible and that vocalize rights whose imposition were entirely lawful could cause difficulties at a later date . 
i would like to thank the two her magnificent work . 
however , we feel that this cannot be given by already concluded in nice in less than three months , as far as that is why we cannot vote in favour of the charter let there be included in the treaty at the nice summit . 
. ( de ) the group of the european parliament csu welcomes the fact that in this draft charter of fundamental rights collected and they do visible fundamental rights which the citizens held prior to the institutions and bodies of the eu . 
reflects liberal europe which is built . 
in fact , it would have liked to see this charter will withdraw to be able to continue working on it , as propose many non-governmental organisations of various countries of the union . 
( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by sr . queiró , on hungary [ com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ] ; 
therefore , i would like proponerles that next year the european parliament does not come up with a general report , but reports for countries to emphasise that kept for a further development of the negotiations . differentiated so 
i believe , secondly , on the basis of the work undertaken by the previous presidencies and by the commission , the french presidency will be in a position - at least i hope so - to put forward an accurate assessment of the accession process . than 
i have said , and i have no difficulty in repeat it here , that the french presidency does not evades any of the difficulties being tabled , which does not mean that we will have time and the means to deal with each of them . 
this matter is perfectly legitimate , but it is necessary zanjarla correctly and accurate . 
enlargement is a broad perspective that we should approach with vision and with a great deal generosity . 
not everything outcome of the intergovernmental conference suited to the formidable demands adaptation that enlargement entails . 
the second major change which we are experiencing and to which europe will have to comply with the enormous speed of economic development , which we directed towards the global market and towards the global competition . es 
fourthly , the above emerges from the principle of being granted to countries which have been incorporated into the just appropriateness of join those who have started before the negotiations with afterwards . 
in the areas in which is necessary and long term to achieve the levels of the eu must be borne in mind that , at the same s circumstances , the present members also enjoy lengthy transitional periods . effecting investment cuantiosas 
at the border protection and the fight conra crime will apply equally our standards and the benefits of european cooperation . 
let us look at again trade flows which currently exist between the european union and the countries of central and eastern europe . 
i was delighted that the commissioner has made a start , at long last , to inform the people that the fears of those who talk about why they do not have to be true . 
this compromise , which they themselves was it acquired , must be complied preferably until the european union membership . 
this means that we need the support of the commission , because although we are to have the will to do , sometimes we do not have ammunition indispensable . 
this is something essential in order , as the european union set ourselves objectives aimed at the implementation of our own internal reforms . 
however , there are points and questions of scale which we disagree with . 
it is damaging to the european union itself , to its future independent in connection with north america and also a common european security and defence policy , as well introduces risks with russia and with other countries . 
we expect to see results and that they do not have to put off for another intergovernmental conference which is to be done to ensure that enlargement can take place . 
. ( fr ) i shall be brief as i have been a moment ago , because in my opening speech , i finished three minutes ago . 
it is very important , and in this respect i welcome the fact that the commission to work in an information campaign , which commissioner verheugen wishes to be the same time wide and decentralised . 
but - and they will be my last words , because i want to say it clearly : i am not in this respect , i do not want a choice with regard to enlargement - to be credible , we must also be serious , we must also be able to take up the accession of the peoples of the peoples of the candidate countries and our peoples . ando with chiquitas , energetic has to understand , pessimistic 
at the moment , i do not see any need to talk about the financial perspective in relation to enlargement . 
i cannot speak today of a single country . 
for the same reason has been expressed , in addition , we also wish to join the european union . 
we shall now give the floor to the various rapporteurs . 
i have been given the task of being rapporteur with regard estonia . 
as conservative , i am very careful with taxpayers ' money . 
i believe that only then would have an idea approximately than people have succeeded in latvia in recent years . 
this is not enough , an overall strategy must be aimed at more closely to the citizens . 
lithuania has a considerable potential for economic growth in the long term . 
in the broadest sense it is a question of the european union 's cooperation with the russian federation . 
and here we have another sensitive issue : the support of public opinion , inside and outside the european union . 
as a result of a sensible policy on taxation , foreign direct investment from last year exceeded the 5.450. millions of euros . 
we do not want interfere let alone we germans . 
democracy slovak evolves so stable and we had previously been otherwise . 
in this speech , i shall pick out and systemize six points in the development of the situation with a view to membership of the european union , worthy of mention specifically . hungarian 
i am therefore delighted to see that we have discussed this matter in the general report on the extension of sr . 
finally , i must mention a cloud ominosa that hangs over europe , and i must specify that my own behalf . 23 years secrets bulgarian launched a campaign in western europe and assaults upon certain individuals , including my friend mr markov , writer known and an integral part of the media , who was murdered in a street london in plenary today . i am saying is agents criminal georgi 
the creation of a high level panel is something i recommend my fellow members . 
the report i have the honour of someterles and which has also been adopted unanimously in committee notes that the part of our territory controlled by the legal authority fulfils the copenhagen political criteria . 
with this purpose , and without prejudice , of course , the commission 's role , our special representative of the common foreign and security policy , the sr . solana , will play a key role to play . itself 
the main problem malta still nevertheless consistiendo in which the accession process is prosecute differently by the government and opposition and the european union gives priority to this accession process transcurra so continued . 
even among ee.uu and mexico levels are closest . that is why , in the area of the internal market we spoke in favour of a strategy well recapacitada , flexible adequate challenges . 
but i would also like to say at this point that i have compliance with the citizens of the countries of central and eastern europe , who had the courage to go out to the streets and to start this process . ten years ago 
the information society is important for both the old and for the new industry . 
we cannot leave blinded by the percentages of community law gathered in national legislation . 
this means that the environment alone we will recover manner sensitively in eastern europe transcurran between 15 and 20 years from now . it is unacceptably long . when 
that also applies to the transport of live animals for slaughter , which is something degrading . 
we are trying to impose an obligation carrying out assessments of the consequences for health in the case of all legislative rules significance . now by 
i believe there must also speak of the european union must make it clear that european regional development funds can no longer otorgándose on the basis of a mere share-out between regions or comarcas . accounting report . 
elmar brok began his intervention with the observation that we shall all be beneficiaries of enlargement , especially where we stand on this side of the existing external frontier . also rightly 
inland waterway transport will be important for environmental reasons because we must draw from the road haulage and unless we can transportarlas railways then we must use avenues maritime and river . ' 
she has also been a matter of selfishness and , above all populism , and the change to the bottom of the euro has not helped certainly in the right direction . 
our message to the accession countries is as follows : do not stop confusing for the extension of the reports before us , the files . 
unfortunately , at the moment there are many parties which have been removed your mask ideological and show , therefore , very few ideals and far too materialism . 
if you need to postpone the unrestricted right to acquisition of land and accommodation for use reunion , let us do so . 
there is only now but it can run danger owing to the lack of transparency and resistance self-evident , although not public , certain governments . 
moreover , where are the millions of jobs promised by the maastricht treaty ? 
at the moment we are revising the treaties , some member states are calling it a new reform . 
most of the international studies show that enlargement means profits macroeconomic . 
however , other minorities negligible , any political group is calling into question the main objective of the common slovenian which is to join as soon as possible in the european union . 
once that the union would have been extended quickly , we should diferenciarla manner , as set out in the position on enlargement adopted by the eldr group . remarkable 
for me there is no doubt that the regime obligatory and institutional which operates in that country da as a result muchas long-term consequences for children 's health orphans . 
i would ask you to support the relevant amendments . 
and even we in the european politicians , we expressed very little understanding in the negotiation process . 
cyprus will be a sort of bridge to the countries in the region . 
i would like to negotiators continue its work successfully in this important area . 
of course , it is important another form of communication between our countries and countries which seek accession to convey what is involved in the european union . 
we cannot give ourselves the luxury of losing occasions such as those which took place at the beginning of the 1990s . 
mr president , first of all , as socialist rapporteur for the report on romania , i would like to congratulate the rapporteur on his excellent report . 
it is for the institutions , for the member states , for us all , show up that challenge , not least with regard to the fears of our own public , and regain breath , ambition and the vision of europe 's founding fathers . 
unfortunately , i have the impression that this process of enlargement despite numerous and fine words and the practised openness and closure of numerous chapters , it is not propelled by the council with the necessary energy policy . 
many countries in the european face similar problems at some stage of their development and can advise bulgaria to help you to exceed those with facing at the moment . 
democracy is not just a question of majorities but primarily of a balanced co-decision rights of minorities . 
the applicant countries must be regarded as equals and accede depends solely of their own development . 
at the same time we have to acknowledge the efforts made by countries such as lithuania , to make up lost ground . 
that is why it is in our interest to extend our legal system and citizens ' freedoms and rights to romania and this is undoubtedly an argument in the debate with our public opinion . 
however , there is an issue around which there is a great deal of interest : enlargement . 
my group therefore supports the periods of transition periods in the environmental sector to a maximum of five years . 
mr president , it is imperative that we give them a good impetus to enlargement . 
the debate remains open when it comes to the order of admission of these countries , because it will have to see the progress of its internal reforms . certainly 
i am pleased that the report is so positive and that slovenia has really so massive by fulfil the criteria - which i have seen on several occasions as director of the delegation remain too mindful of the sr . commissioner . striven 
in my opinion , this proposal deserves to be examined . 
these forms of violence and trafficking in women must be condemned and combated because now with all the resources in the eu and in the candidate countries . 
ending , with this time , i would like to share the thoughts and ideas of many of our colleagues on the need to look at once and for all , the question of the limits of europe and therefore the how much will be extended , as well as the expediency of drafting a report on particular of the european parliament . attentively messrs 
the minutes of yesterday 's sitting have been distributed . 
thank you . 
it is said in this house that in a europe of citizens ' rights must be properly enshrined in the right of the union . occasionally 
i put to the vote the request for postponement of the committee on legal affairs and the internal market . 
we know that the substances strange that we occupy almost never impinge straight away , they are harmful substances in the long term , substances of long life and acumulables such as dioxins , the aflatoxinas , and heavy metals such as cadmium , lead and mercury . 
we cannot find culprits . 
if permits " products " in this case , we must demand that it will be informed the services of control and in public that the product has been diluted . in fact , we also have to make known and discuss this problem . publicly as a minimum dilute 
however , it must be clear that the dioxin crisis was the result of criminal acts that conflict existing rules . 
mr president , i would like to thank the oradoras and the previous speakers . 
it is a need pressing . 
for example , the limit value for fish meal is different from that minded to animal products not sailor . 
it is high time end up with an interpretation of the principle of subsidiarity , which aims to increase increasingly the tutelage of brussels on our nations . fallacious 
like the rapporteur , i believe that there are grounds for doing all these things and to analyse the substances to which reference has been made , that although there are toxic for themselves , show increases in the highest standards . 
unfortunately there has been lost much of the knowledge inherits , wisdom country , in an industrial production in which animals have been reduced to be production units and goods . 
the new regulations unified harmonised and will simplify hygiene very complex and detailed than before they were scattering in numerous directives . requirements : 
as far as i enquiries , the number of those who advise on the exact content is relatively small . 
secondly , it is clear that in spite of everything is to introduce a change which affect farmers , who are the producers of raw materials used in animal feed in the future , they are to see obliged to destroy a number of consignments of raw materials . considerably increased . 
these allowances are necessary , even if it goes without saying that the farmers themselves being esmeran as much as possible to garnatizar the health of their animals . 
amendment no 18 propose explicitly insertion water in the definition of feedingstuffs . 
on the basis of the evaluations scientific elements of risk , the commission will propose to the member states adequate measures to limit the presence of these substances in animal feed . 
having considered the amendments submitted for approval at this plenary sitting , i would like to thank parliament for supporting the proposal . 
in general terms , therefore , the commission can accept 15 of the 27 amendments . 
i would point out that it is time not come off the hook . by 
the commission is committed to elaborarla and has also announced that it will be able completarla overnight . 
farmers simply need to be able to find out more exactly , also in figures percentage - at least when it so soliciten- , everything that compound feedingstuffs and in what proportion is present . contain 
graefe zu baringdorf . roth-behrendt for their reports and say that i hope that the council will adopt a constructive position in relation to these questions and that we can establish a system more transparent for animal feed . statement together , and also to the sra 
all this , of course , due to the tragedy of bse , which has been a real folletín , with various episodes . 
we cannot accept the use of harmful substances , prejudicial to the health of humans and animals . 
but let us begin with a positive aspect . 
this proposal is the first in a number of initiatives based on the white paper on food safety . 
thank you very much , commissioner .

thirdly , it is perhaps the most difficult thing that the council will approve new institutional measures which will allow the community function efficiently , efficient and democratic after enlargement . 
even if we can agree with the principles of article 13 , it is clear that the secondary legislation which the european union produces from him reaches far away , and that there is no reason for denying the candidate countries a right to differentiation culturally . sometimes 
to conclude , i would stress the fact that the enlargement process must be made progressively , at the pace of the adaptation of the candidate countries . 
at the present context and given voices have started to challenge the enlargement of the european union , it is important that parliament gives a clear political signal in favour of it . oírse . 
. ( fr ) since its inception , the european union has vocation grouping peoples . 
the criteria of copenhagen council 1993 on the democratisation process or the ability to compete reinforce , by way of " acquis communautaire ' , the reign capitalism savage and destructive . 
under these conditions , a flight forward in the enlargement process is in danger of accentuate flows populist and fascistoides who demonstrate here and there . 
on the agenda today 's sitting contained a report on equal opportunities between men and women , who go back to give an indication of just how poor results is making the acquis communautaire in practice in precisely this area . precisely 
who would , in fact , the entry into the european home to the poland and pope john paul ii , the hungary tortured in 1956 or the capital-símbolo , prague , when the people 's democracies defenestraban to the head of state and steamroller to the people jan palach , immolate for freedom of copernican negarle in budapest ? 
a greater europe and with more precise new tasks and greater financial resources . 
i would also like to pay tribute to the elderly and pensioners estonia hoping for attention to their ability to live within the european union . 
if latvia goes on progressing and the european union adapted its institutional structure and its policies to be able to cope with enlargement , i do not see any reason why latvia should not be accepted in the union . 
if lithuania continues and the european union adapted its institutional structure and its policies to be able to cope with enlargement , i do not see any reason why lithuania should not be accepted in the union . progressing 
in the environmental field , we also have verified progress evident , with the creation of ' national fund for environmental protection ' and with the application of the principle of ' contaminador-pagador " . 
to permit the entry of poland into the common house , the union will justice with the newly arrival . a justice which it has been denied for too long . 
i look forward to the imminent integration of the czech republic . 
. i welcome the report on the application for membership of the european union , and i agree with most of the conclusions which comes the rapporteur . queiró hungary 
i look forward to bulgaria joins the union in the not-too-distant future . 
poos report ( a5-0249 / 2000 ) 
it is a point of view fair and balanced that the council of ministers must take serious account . 
i hope that the negotiations were held under the auspices of the united nations may have results , so that the two communities , greek cypriot and take advantage of the advantages of its entry into the eu into a republika reunited . incidentally , tandem 
. i expressly welcome the report by sr . poos on the application for accession of cyprus to the european union . 
however , we , the consumers , we are in the final link in the food chain , and so we are the final recipient of the corruption and counterfeits eating . 
we are particularly concerned about the fact that , at both european and concrete , food safety departs from the hayfield to table . 
it is because we are in favour of developing cooperation relations , really and truly equal partners , between all the countries of the world , we do not intend , through our vote , conceal a swindle . brotherlike between 
the council informed parliament before the vote in committee , but with a margin of time , toss with that deliberately any possibility of a debate additional me or the european parliament . tiny 
in my report i advocate a more representativeness and the participation of ngos , greater accountability to parliament , the development of an annual report for it to be debated in parliament , at the highest possible level of transparency , the promotion of memory of the past in order to combat prejudices and the recognition of the multiple discrimination . 
at the same time , we must bear in mind the legitimate interests of employees . 
in his capacity primarily responsible solving the problems of discrimination at work , the social partners are on the most favourable position to propose solutions feasible . 
jenny era of collective ' charter ' was the coordinator of the group and i i myself invited hearings on article 13 . access . 
the guidelines and action programmes to the member states to combat discrimination based on the same premises and allow the commission to fulfil its role as guardian of the treaties and also pioneer in social debate . praxis because they stimulate 
while the present legal basis for further preparatory actions , their funding within that category could lead to a reduction in appropriations for other policies . liberates loans 
ladies and gentlemen , we are faced with a proposal for a framework directive necessary but insufficient , whose mechanisms we will have the opportunity perfecting once elapsed a time of application . 
i hope that the commission to study carefully the law on discrimination on grounds of sex in the light of this new directive . 
i congratulate the commission and my colleagues who have drafted the report . 
i welcome the recommendation of mann report giving organisations of the possibility of demanding staff certain requirements for the exercise of his office in connection with such character . character ideological 
the speed with which the institutions have made use of the powers of amsterdam , commissioner , demonstrates that the european union is still a pioneer in equal opportunities , and i would like to thank very explicitly to the european commission for that . 
the presence of discriminations in our societies confirms the importance of the programme of action is the subject of the report of sr . cashman very different types . 
mr president , on behalf of the bonino list , i would like to express the dismay that we leads the way in which europe and the member states are faced with the issue of discrimination , racism and xenophobia . 
can you explain the commissioner why the commission desentiende this ? 
secondly , while recognising its importance , to my mind is a problem which will be invited to ngos involved in implementing the programme , regardless of its size , its characteristics and their action . 
the liberal group has assessed all this , and especially the activities of parliament who wanted to stress , also and above all , prevention of phenomenon , his expectations of good practice . undemocratic . 
represents a challenge for all of us because we all judge people for the first impression . 
mr president , combating and legislate against discrimination is tantamount to recognise that there are and even that are often ' legitimate ' because they are trivialize . 
first , the cnucyd , the united nations conference for trade and development , ran into 1963 in geneva the principle of inequalities compensatory , and therefore of discrimination . 
indeed , the provision of information and awareness-raising are of fundamental importance in this area , should serve as detonators for infuse a new mentality , a new way of thinking and must be to ensure that these prejudice still widespread among the people and guaranteed real equality of all citizens in terms of rights . venzan radically 
so it is important that we move forward with the two legislative initiatives that are now under discussion , but mejorándolas in some respects and by increasing the amounts earmarked for the financing of the programme and reflecting the political importance attaches to this fight against discrimination . 
in particular , the agreement on the principle of adjustments , which have been pioneers sweden and ireland , will ensure that the whole of europe adapting their places of work , and modifying its practical work so that employees disabled have truly a fair chance . special teams will acquire reasonable now employer 
article 13 is the basis of a new objective of the eu : combating discrimination or the unfair treatment of citizens for the reasons listed in the same . 
the second point i would like to point out is unfortunately the serious error that was made by the commission with this first package to prioritising among the grounds of discrimination . 
mr president , discrimination on grounds of religion is as unacceptable as any other form of discrimination . 
as the secular confident that i am not would know because accept it . 
however , the idea of admitted as much freedom as possible , provided that is consistent with identical degree of freedom for the rest , clashes , even today , with hindrances : some facto and other law . generous every citizen 
one of the directives has already been taken in record time , and i very much hope that the other is to be taken in november , during the french presidency . 
some do not comply with other legal requirements , for example , the amendment relating to the provisions of the committees . 
instead , i cannot accept amendment no 38 proposes eliminating article 5 of the list of varying treatment on the grounds of age that can be justified . 
parliament has addressed the important issue of the conformity of contracts . 
the first time that we allow joint projects in this action programme . 
it is clear that the more universal code , it will be more effective . 
article 7 of the code obliges the member states to commit to prevent exports that we desvíen towards end-users undesirable . 
. ( it ) mr president , i confess that i am of the time when the european parliament , as well as from the various pacifists and trade unions , it tempting to think and act towards a progressive reduction in the manufacture of weapons and we wondered how to make the production battleful in civilian production . nostalgia from movements 
in view of the situation in which they are today the planet and our continent after the end of the cold war and the breakdown of equilibrium established by the terror of weapons of mass destruction , such behaviour would be irresponsible . 
these weapons have become so to say in the symbol of the anarchy in many quarters of the world . 
the common foreign and security policy to combat crises beyond the bounds of the eu and not something that could be seen as common defence policy . realizes activities 
they aim to prevent the export of arms to the governments who commit violations of human rights , to areas of conflict or regions launched a career in the field of armaments . 
the commission , in close collaboration with member states , participated actively in the formulation of the joint action of the european union on small arms and light weapons . 
the next item is the order of business , the commission shall now proceed to make a statement on the side of the european research . 
introducing the longer term , interim among the support of projects and funding institutionally , using the instruments provided by the treaty , and more specifically the union 's participation in national programmes as it is laid down in article 169 of the treaty . forms of intervention with variable geometry 
what we want to strengthen , is this character of hierarchy , and it depends on how to provide assistance . 
you say that he is going on a total shake-up of the framework programme . 
i think that today we need something which the european research area , that is something that goes beyond framework-programme that comes as supplement national programmes , we need an element estructurador , which means that we must accept formulae . structured 
thank you for your words and for her constructive spirit in relation to reflections with stoa , i believe we must do something together , because that is something which concerns the house , to the joint research centre , to institutes prospectiva present in several member states . . 
it seems that the commission is making leaps and bounds towards the completion of the european research area . 
there will be a chapter altogether on science and society ' rights . 
there have been contacts with the greek authorities , irish and portuguese to request to the government of those countries which will speed up the submission to the commission of their projects from the cohesion fund . 
perhaps the non-existence of service which i have just referred - and that existed in the commission anterior- devoted exclusively to the cohesion fund were allowed to have more specific elements . 
my second question is , quite apart from the cohesion fund , there are the community support framework , the structural funds , regional programmes , etc. what they have received the projects and programmes which countries have already approved ? what definitive countries . 
in 1989 the commission submitted a new proposal which would offer greater flexibility . 
and , despite the fact that the rule of the treaties forbids that foreign companies to affairs , we should implement the legislation on fair competition in europe in cases where the tax system is totally disproportionate . we need to look at the effect that may have in this situation competition law , despite the general rule that these matters are prerogative of the member states . bolkestein principal copper more general 
if we want to retain the fuel , the way of doing this is through the tax , and not by other forms of taxation . 
i would like to say to sr . purvis that of the natural disadvantages and regional authorities is a matter that falls to the national governments , as part of his electorate is in these areas remote and peripheral regions . probably 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i am grateful for that information . 
spring and summer pasts , the european commission made a general review of its activities and human resources . 
there are some who do so claim . 
these children are used more and more for tourists and business people , the majority , hail from europe . 
the commission is convinced that all companies will be able to prepare themselves in good time for the final step to the euro , including the adapting their systems and software . 
the debate político-filosófico is no longer on the agenda , but in general we can look at the dangers of a referendum , but perhaps in another context . 
the same applies to elks . 
recently there has been sent a reminder to compared to the french authorities . 
in relation to the candidate countries , i can tell you that have been held meetings with them in connection with this issue of animal transport and we have reached agreement preliminary . 
however , in the last spring the commission was informed that had been stopped seed varieties of different species , including the cotton , which contained traces of genetically modified seeds . imported from traditional season sows 
however , after consulting their services , i am able to inform the honourable member that a directive on electrical goods , the directive on the bounds of tension , as well as the directive on radio and terminals telecoms , prescribing essential requirements in terms of security computer equipment for private use or in the workplace . electrical equipment 
are you would agree with me , however , that in this case the distinction between safety at work , in a class school or to a child who do their homework is a false distinction ? 
perhaps narrows the hand of president khatami . 
today aung san suu kyi has again be subject facto to arrest domiciliary . 
so i am reluctant to go further in terms of trade or advise further measures on trade and investment . 
question no 15 by ( h-0769 / 00 ) : 
my informers we refer to some of the mítines election , for example , to which they had been present . 
questions nos 16 to 44 will receive written answers . 
what we would like to see it as a parliament which were published and subject to scrutiny of this parliament . consolidated report 
we should concentrate on move not producing weapons instead of thinking about the way compete with other countries arms manufacturers around the world . 
the five permanent members of the security council , which supposedly safeguard our safety , should pay particular attention to these proposals and negotiate as soon as possible an accommodation really worthy of the 21st century . 
the debate today is an important step in the reform process which began the prodi commission more than a year ago . 
i cannot help feeling that in its quest for drawing up a proposal within the time limit set by the green paper reform , the commission does not serve appropriately to the details . 
i therefore propose that both the financial controller and the internal auditor draw up annual reports detailled their activities . 
the van hulten report , and rightly so , for which the commission pleads and gives a good impetus for the exchange of best practices between the institutions . sharpens more differentiation 
let us hope that this is not to repeat ! 
if ascertains something for the institutions large , we will apply to all the wage scale such independence that the committee of wise men have outlined . 
in the past , we have found very often that the excessive delay the decision-making process generate frustration among complainants and a loss of confidence in the european institutions . 
i would like to say to the commissioner that this report is merely an intermediate step and an intermediate step signifies that is the first step of building a bridge between the system we have now control and the system that we want to make after the reform . . 
this is the purpose of the proposal put forward . 
only when this happens will once again to introduce the sampling , selection , which supervises often . 
consequently , beyond mere words , we are aware that the task is not so easy . 
obviously , i also think that neither politicians nor the technicians we tackle the problem there is no way we alone . 
the majority of children and adolescents is growing but , fortunately , in a way which presents no such problematic . 
i fully agree with the president of the committee on the need for a constitution and in my view , it is clear that there should be reinforced the principle of subsidiarity and that the eu must therefore refrain from making policy in the large number of areas where the approaches are not crossing borders . policy-makers this catalogue similar 
throughout the world and of all the areas of knowledge comes at very short time available to our houses and communication via the planet as a whole is for them experience of a daily basis . information from 
detainees too little time on , declared themselves policemen : " it is curious , in the television sets , not leave catch so easily " . 
legislators - and i shall end here , mr president - , cannot solve everything , but they should occasionally reminded the rights and obligations of the individual . 
i am also very receptive to the remarks made about education , training for learn to read the pictures , on the awareness of the younger generations to take a critical approach to the averages and not consummate anything but , at any time and any way . about 
anything else will do more damage to the views that are forming the fact that a report like this do not moves ahead or not to make possible or , at least , to break down the barriers to the facing today mobility . educational greater mobility must not start 
the outstanding problems in the various member states are of different nature : for example , different rules in the field of social security , scholarship , right of residence , taxation and the lack of mutual recognition of diplomas and of the stages . solution 
it is high time that europe will devote attention to the proper implementation of programmes such as socrates and youth for europe . anew 
the experience on the mobility of students and teachers shows that the real difficulties to freedom of movement are not so much on the authorities of education , but rather in the fields of action of the authorities of the social security , finance and immigration . 
invoked as an example of this socrates programme . 
there must be clear , unambiguous , even if it is sampling , and , above all , a ventanilla , a web site where pupils can take up their complaints . inspection controls 
that is why we are asking insertion into the category of researchers in the scope of the recommendations . 
it is easy to do so in a speech , but not so much in practice . 
the debate is closed . 
we appreciate his actions , similar to the president chirac and chancellor joska fischer . 
the union must speak with a single voice in foreign policy and reflect a capacity of defence and security policy . 
we need a forum of decision-making in order to deal with issues instrumental both sides as migratory flows , the transfer of production factors , the energy supplies . 
the proposal for a resolution on the commission 's reports , on which you are going to give its opinion on , is lush about it . 
so it is clear in the report prepared by the finnish presidency on women and decision-making . indicators that he has drawn up will make it possible to assess progress . 
apart from that conference of ministers and of colloquies on equal professional , two very important , specifically dedicated to equality , but corresponding to the council on employment and social affairs , are worthy of mention . texts 
the second relates to the principle of non-discrimination , including the based on sex . 
with regard to the reports , i must say incidentally - madam president-in-office of the council also took up this cuestión- that one of the great problems in the eu are of course big cultural differences . 
the reports presented here are a good indication of that . 
we must ensure that the directive on equal opportunities really be incorporated into the regulations . 
i believe that this method adopted in the first place for finland , practicable in numerous areas and , as part of the strategy of gender equality of the commission , we can expect a great deal of it . 
on behalf of the equality of opportunity , the french women have acquired thanks to europe , the right to work at night . 
as french citizen , that vision of the world i find it particularly foreign . 
despite these reservations , we shall be voting in favour of this report , then , of course , we are in favour of equal opportunities , but it is first and foremost to respect for everyone . 
the fact that sidestep the freedom of educate their children without remuneration , he will go down the bill later in the form of crime juvenile and vandalism . mothers 
in this context i would like to reiterate our report on the division of labour rights derived from pensions in the event of divorce thanks to which occupational retirement age were incorporated at long last to the directive 1979 . survival . 
women polish we were very thanked for having made it clear that the representative there does not present transmitted the attitude of women polish . 
greater involvement of women at all levels of government and in all walks of life is essential to give greater depth to democracy and achieving and maintaining peace . 
finally , i should like to mention the situation of women in the candidate countries to join the european union . 
the council , especially the men who make up the important task to guide europe in the fight against mafia exploitation of women . this is not something which the politicians responsible can escape , shy away from or ignoring . in this area , they have slave trade 
the reports and intervention that today we are analysing can we , as we knew that the problem of equal opportunities is a problem of structural and which , to deal with , we need global strategies , because we are not a category either a social group homogenous nor any collective . infer from many self , women 
i was a little sad to see that maria de belém roseira no longer take this post . admittedly 
two of my fellow members have mentioned new social rights , new rights prosecutors . 
thirdly , because they are based not only for the european union - including the have at our disposal a picture of the situation in the charter of fundamental rights has played an important role - but also at national level , since it can member states through the benchmarking determining national targets . strategic 
that concludes the joint debate . 
these amendments must entenderlas in the new context of the interinstitutional agreement and , therefore , parliament can transigir with not dwell on these amendments comitology bearing in mind that remained overestimates some way for the new framework inter-institutional . 
however , i , personally , i still think that the text approved by parliament responded to the new realities which have emerged from the internal market and the liberalization of markets , given that the elements of the amendments not entered into a greater guarantee that the regulation was to be implemented and that they were going to follow the same procedures when they are implemented . clarification and control that introduce still totalled at the time far better 
if we want to see that the third countries will accept the commitments , the european community has to be the first jealouser in ensuring compliance with its own standards , because if a country has the possibility of putting into the community products by way of smuggling for what is going to disturb in negotiate with us any kind of sop ? 
furthermore , parliament 's amendment on formalities customs through declarations , accepted by the council , will lead to the customs administrations of the member states to equipen with the means computer control more modern computer . 
but now it is too late because you have just take the vote and the members have voted in favour of it . 
votes ( continuation ) 
report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) on the annual reports of the commission ' equal opportunities for men and women in the european union - 1997 , 1998 and 1999 " [ com ( 1998 ) has had 302 - c5-0106 / 1999 ) [ com ( 1999 ) - c5-0289 / 2000 ) ( com ( 2000 ) 123 - c5-0290 / 2000 - 1999 / 2109 ( cos ) ] committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities . draftsman : from lone dybkjær dybkjær . 106 
it is the first time that i am speaking on the mobility of students and teachers of corps . 
this report is even more important than the occurs at a critical time for the european union , namely that of enlargement . 
discrimination does not combat creating additional administrative but by changing the mentality of people . seats 
i have voted against the report mann , therefore , although it is necessary , in fact , to try to ensure equal treatment of people in the field of employment and labour , we do not need to bring the zeal to the extent abandoning any protection freedoms and all respecting the rule of law . 
as secular sure myself , i could not endorse it . 
the pne welcomes this directive and its objective abolish discrimination at work . 
if we want to draw up a directive plausible and viable we cannot cargarla of flourishes and wishful thinking , for it is not what is expected of a legislative text . 
however , the eplp has major reservations on the following areas . 
there are elements which , in our view , should be left to the discretion of the member states , such as the aplicaión generally , the provision of a certain age groups , the nature of the system of mediation , and the way in which smes must interpret the directive . trained workers 
mr van hulten observed correctly in this very interview that we can only begin with a positive agenda when we have settled problems such as fraud , wastage and the lack of efficiency and effectiveness in the decision-making process . 
the reason for my vote to this report relates , in essence , with the question of closer relations between the european union and nato , and also with the move towards a common defence policy . 
the report also understands the export of arms in europe as a way to resolve conflicts in the occupied close . 
however , i do not accept that we call for a common defence policy and a common european security and defence within nato . 
children are the main victims of violence on television . 
i am glad that it has carried out this study . 
at community level is to be a committee of experts with the mandate to draw up a memorandum laying down general principles for the protection of minors faced with the means . 
dybkjær report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) 
it particularly interesting to note the fact that , for the first time , be quite clear the need to assess the effectiveness of the political initiatives with the annual reports of the commission . 
peru 
mr president , we are living at the present point in time of uncertainty and we all hope that the current situation sorted out by means of a process in which guarantees all civil and political rights , which will serve to strengthen and consolidate democracy and peace in peru , a country which has suffered 25 000 deaths in the last fifteen years . feeds in peru 
the word in question is the word ' democracy ' . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the conditions under which the elections were held peruvian at last may it was unacceptable . 
b5-0793 / / 2000 by mrs ainardi and others , on behalf of the group of the european united left / nordic green left , on the situation of women in afghanistan . sra . 
and i therefore think it good that the resolution contains several points relating to the situation of women and is drawing attention to just how necessary is that we are trying to help prevent the taliban continue with its total discrimination against women . clear and unambiguous precisely 
the eu awaits an important task . 
there can be no recognition by any member state as long as persists policy violation of human rights , in particular the systematic discrimination against women . 
and that , if anything we have to take this into account from the european institutions and also that planting drugs are used to buy arms . 
however , will give its full support to the neighbouring countries in order to assist them to improve its resources in order to combat this evil . 
i think it is a good time to reiterate the need for the european union begins to devise a policy of nature comprehensivo with regard to latin america which possibly could prevent these countries are crossing periodically crisis situations such as those that have occurred in some of them . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , both the commission and parliament greeted with great satisfaction the release of jesuit spanish , the sr . alejandro matos castro was last week . 
b5-0782 / 2000 by sr . haarder , on behalf of the group of the european liberal , democrat and reform party , on macedonia : act of higher education and universities ; 
consequently , all we are pleased that the problem of higher education at long last may seem encaminarse towards a solution really positive . enormously 
that is , for my part , a good example to all the neighbouring countries which do not only be sow hatred by means of teaching as at present , it can also serve as cradle to live together peacefully . multi-étnica so often education 
i too would have preferred that had been found a solution which merit approval of all the parties represented in parliament . 
let me take this opportunity to point out that the commission has already had very good experience as far as the collaboration with the high commissioner , mr van der stoel , are concerned . 
we are not debating today in this house to express our regret . mainly on what has happened , for what has happened and how to remedy the situation , how can we help from now on , the commission and the european parliament , to ensure that such events will not be repeated in future . just under debate on 
in any case , mr president , we agree with this joint motion for a resolution , which we support , as a matter of urgency , and of course , based on what i mentioned earlier , we do not agree with the amendments that have been put forward as well as it is now urgent . 
as far as the amendment on working conditions , there is a directive on this issue ; on the other hand the wording of amendment is not as successful as the text . 
that is simply not acceptable for the islands northern and eastern scottish and neither is for the potential route from the north sea to the continent of europe , which i hope will be established in the not too distant future . 
i am pleased that the greek government has suspended this exemption in the meantime . 
as such , the commission contacted the greek government immediately wreck of samina special delivery , requesting information about the implementation of existing community law . 
therefore , i would ask the question , rogándole that come up to the presidency . i wonder whether as well as the removal of fridays have begun to delete too few on thursday . 
i also wish to say that , on the part of the european union , are under way at a time when the will of the people of the serbian people is respected , in other words , when the time that we have a government sustained by people who voted for the sr , we can have a lifting of sanctions and , secondly , a package of financial aid which may help to the serbian people to reduce its economy in the ballot box . kostunica . firstly , immediate mechanisms for them . 
perhaps we should decide at the moment in the streets belgrade if democratic change commences now , and if can be made without violence . 
we condemn all the measures that can be seen as provocations , especially in relation to the holy places jerusalem . 
and we must tenderle hand in hand with a very symbolic - as was said by the sr . solana with such a meeting in zagreb . 
the strange thing is the fact that the police and the israeli army has used bullets fragmentation , bullets that when reach the corps have always broken out in tens of pieces and which are banned , even in fights between soldiers , and which now have been used against citizens . internationally 
i think that europe can do a great deal and must do a great deal in this respect transparently and decisiveness . 
consequently , we must do everything within our power to stop this fire as soon as possible . 
we must avoid provocation and the action ariel sharon . 
today the same thing has happened , and that is what will stop and prevented europe , in all these years , a role to play mediate in the middle east , leaving such a role to the united states . 
it gives the serbian population in the name of our objectives elysian and moral , as this could mean the deaths of thousands of people in serbia and yugoslavia . 
madam president , as my final point i would like to suggest that , as soon as possible and on the need for a new yugoslav regime , we send a delegation from parliament to plan , together with the new government yugoslavian , reconstruct a new serbia . 
madam president , ladies and gentlemen , it is clear that today we are witnessing a historic day in this parliament , the day may possibly puts an end to one of the last few cornerstones of a totalitarian dictatorships in europe . probably 
mr president , there is a problem because in the dossier german to matters of urgency - not know whether the same is happening in the other versions lingüísticas- only collected the amendments tabled by the gue group . lacks the motions for resolutions and the joint text . 
mr president , i just wanted to draw the attention of members on the pile of documents which we have brought this week to vote . 
if parliament could table amendments to the council 's decision , no doubt remember the social problems caused by the diet imposed upon that country , but in these circumstances there is no legal basis for such a kind of amendments , and unemployment croatia 
this is the opportunity to claim the same objectives as regards the activity of the eib . 
mr president , yesterday evening , we are talking about serbia and on the changes revolutionaries who are taking place there . 
for this reason , i would like to make an urgent appeal to my fellow members , including in particular to the council , so that during the negotiations of next year 's budget and the years later to be tailored to the commission 's proposal , which , in my view , he has done the best appreciation of the total costs in croatia and also in other parts of the balkans . as far as possible . 
in 1990 elections were held democratic , which have been regarded as internationally as free and honest . 
that is why yes , yes , but also a strong plea to the commission to fully supports this country profoundly european , now it governed democratically in accordance with the rule of law , and so that you put on the list of candidates to accession , because i believe that croatia has earned our full support to this financial help this guarantee . 
like the rapporteur , i wonder whether we will have no money for this purpose , bearing in mind that , in short , we will establish a comprehensive stream monetary towards serbia , and that the union 's budget will not increase . in practice , certainly 
the delegations croatia and our parliament sought to the council to extend the mandate of the eib , and also 
i hope that will commence as soon as possible contacts and , like to croatia , it grant aid also to the serbian people that deserves all our respect . 
( the minutes were approved ) 
so it is with this spirit that we are inviting the women of the european parliament to participate in this delegation tuesday and wednesday we will have a list and we shall harvest signatures and accessions delegation , precisely with the wishing to set up between women bridges peace where , however , there is violence . : 
in short , there have been more suffering for basques and the spanish ; it is true , spanish and basques have had enough of the current conflict . 
madam president , you will recall , in the last part-session , evoking the plight of defender of democracy british james mawdsley , which had been arrested illegally by the burmese authorities . 
madam president , in my case it is really a point of order . 
in fact , this report ostensibly technical issue , which do not think bring substantial changes of political order is extremely important given that , through the back door , introduces the possibility of using genetic engineering to a viticulture genetically modified . 
if we do not vote report , result postponements . 
the council of state - as you have said - has ignored this resource and we have been informed in due form this rejection . 
however , now the case repeated and affects a colleague who , while it is ppe does not belong to my area of policy in italy . the sr . 
that is why aboguemos for the introduction of a social scoreboard , as has also been made to the internal market , with clear measures , with time limits maximum and with time limits . 
madam president-in-office , i hope that the council will draw inspiration from the expectations of the european parliament , and i hope that at the nice summit will manage translated into a european social agenda ambitious objectives with which we can continue to work together in the years ahead . 
as a result of informal council meeting on 8 july in paris , the presidency has asked all the actors involved - the european parliament , of course , the economic and social committee of the social partners , ngos , groups and committees of the council - which it communicate its proposals . " employment and social policy ' last regions 
what counter to what is a debate false and lisbon defined very clearly to fulfill : more jobs and better quality . quantitative qualitative 
there is a need to promote this mobility and at the same time ensuring the safety of flights practitioners . 
we must try to make an inventory of gaps remaining in the system and , in any event , to put them on the agenda . 
the open coordination is , in our opinion , the way to go down if we are going to ensure a social europe . 
the implementation of the social screamed at lisbon requires an effort communautaire , an action plan for the creation of jobs in the services , particularly those connected with the information society . pretensions 
obviously the cooperation of the commission is important , but the social problems have rooted locally and we need to manejarlos with respect to specific conditions . 
what social acted as a factor correctness of the most harmful effects of economic policies . 
the commission 's original proposal was much better unaltered ; congratulations commissioner . 
anna diamantopoulou , for an excellent document . it is an agenda and i can still remember what we are moving in the field of social protection in the last parliament . arrogance with difficulties 
i believe that it will be very positive for helping reconciling family and professional women . 
i sometimes have the impression that the concept of modernization meant often the undermining of social protection . 
what are the essential points of the text ? 
yet it is difficult to determine european objectives which have the same applicable to all the member states , as the reality is different for everyone . 
the commission has put forward 49 amendments . 
presumably this relates only to parliament and the commission , but , commissioner sra . 
the next item is the increase in support of the community when it comes to judge the need for further initiatives , including , if necessary , the transposition of legislation , equality and the fight against discrimination . 
in the past there have been lacking good ideas or the good plans aimed at achieving equality , but often failed its implementation . 
it is only natural that the voice of women to be hog by a handful of professionals in the claim that their living injection of public money . 
equality of women and men in civil life , enabling women plenary enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms . 
i hope that , at long last , performers men also here and combat the roles of gender and stereotypes trasnochados . entronquen 
i believe that in the meantime we must thank him for having followed the debate , because he was not provided for being present during this debate . 
competition policy 
we must provide our businesses optimum conditions so that they able to plan their production and , above all its future . 
consumers must have access to a wide range of quality products and at competitive prices , and ultimately it is the reason for further progress with the single market and , along with this , with free competition , because it will be of great benefit to all our citizens . 
is that of the decision subsidizing or of the decision not to subsidise within the scope of the coal mineral . 
point 16 of the report riis-jørgensen talks about greater legal certainty in dealing with applications fusion and shorter deadlines and effective appeals court . 
in all cases it is a matter of public companies which do not have to europe 's strength to a immaculate corporate governance , but to past and present positions monopoly . financial 
we need a more introduction of the citizens in the information on competition policy , so that it advise the advantages . 
these are matters of great importance to the regional economy and employment , and i hope that , in future , that is to be made clear that this aid , which are aimed at developing and the regional economy and whose factor is the very transportation , they can continue to be granted . household subsidies for more exemplary 
this communication contains three messages correct . 
evans for her excellent report on the rules on state aid to the steel industry and about the eighth report on state aid in the european union . 
i would , therefore , assure sres . palacio and mr karas , as well as other members who have spoken on these points , which the rules of procedure has in mind their concerns . 
otherwise we shall be doing a disservice to competition and consumers . 
the debate is closed . 
the mechanism of funding conducts article 119 of the treaty on european union which is still in force under the third stage of economic and monetary union only for the member states not participating in the single currency . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i would like to thank you very much because today we can discuss the proposal for a council directive amending directive 68 / eec on the trade materials vegetative propagation of the vid and i also expect a positive vote tomorrow . mark still 193 
some of them were launched , on 5 july , the so-called of beaune , where they express its concern about the introduction of gmos in the face profession . 
the rules which are provided for by the way favour the production of a vegetative material diversified and which offers the best guarantees , which is fundamental to accompany restructuring of vineyards community , key point of the new com wine-producing and wine-growing . sanitary , effectively 
we have to say so loud and clear , however , it was necessary overloading the articles of this directive with reference to directive 90 / 220 on review process unless wanting to promote the strength manipulations genetic the vine . 
i am pleased inform you that we can also accept amendments nos 35 to 40 tabled by the sr . graefe zu baringdorf , aimed at strengthening the transposition of the safety requirements and management according to directive 90 / 220 . 
i would just mention that no parliament has been asked to give an opinion as such . 
madam president , in connection with paragraph 14 of our record on the request for waiver of parliamentary immunity of sr . pacheco pereira . 
i am going to be more precise on qualified majority voting . 
on the weighting of votes , are still too on the table two options are well known : weighting in the interests of which confirms a slight , very slight majority , or double majority , but with various formulas , dual simple majority or reponderada or a form of ' mesh demographic " . simple ; 
moreover , subject to an assessment of needs and the coordination of economic and financial assistance to the federal republic of yugoslavia , which commending jointly to the european commission and the world bank , the european council in biarritz decided to grant the federal republic of yugoslavia an initial emergency humanitarian aid of eur 200 million . 
but , ladies and gentlemen , if i had to tell them quite honestly , i would say this : whatever the delicacy of the issues of the commission and system , there will be based on this in order to measure the success or failure of nice . look at spontaneous and my impression -composición votación- 
another positive aspect was also the adoption of the charter of fundamental rights by the heads of state and government . however , mr president-in-office , i must remind the house at the same time why it was possible . 
we must not killing of the spirit of nice and , therefore , there is a key priority in the 50 days that remain : raising the negotiation at political level . boredoms 
in this connection i should like to address my colleagues in the european people 's party - and i would ask you to sr . poettering that i escuche- because what we are defending in this house what we need to defend . were also 
as far as we know of the actions taken by the prime ministers and chairmen in biarritz on most points of the reform of the treaty , the charter probably become the largest prize in nice . peliagudas 
launching a wide consultation populations , the national parliaments , which were allowed arrive at a letter based on the needs , the council would be in truth in accordance with the aspirations citizens ' europe . genuinely 
i would , therefore , i should like to call upon everyone to return to the origins of our union , have the courage which took giscard d ' estaing . schmitt , to determine the election by universal suffrage in 1979 , and that we will , at last a president of the european union , the commission president of the european parliament in 1976 and decide on 2009 and the sr . 
in that respect , i would like to respond to what was said by the sr . poettering on the division between the countries large and small . 
i would once again to deal with a few words to the issues of external trade policy , because it is a matter entirely seriously . 
it is , in any case , something precious which has been emphasised by all the members of the european council . 
a second something very positive response has been the adoption of the charter as a whole . 
apart from that , in my opinion on this crucial issue for the future of the european union and its method of decision-making , biarritz gained some and we can only rejoice . so many 
i hope that we can still convince , forge ahead , in order to achieve positive results on this in nice . 
let me quote two concrete examples . firstly , we are moving from the right to work at the right to work and , secondly , several social rights enshrined in the social charter revised by the council of europe do not appear in the charter . 
the discussions that have been taking place throughout europe , including the biarritz , it is clear that the larger member states are trying to partly to the smaller member states to reform the european union in accordance with the line pursued by the former and with your wishes . intimidate 
the unhappy about the two extremes are proof to the negotiators who are moving towards a fair one . 
the leadership of the european union has not been formulated clearly a vision . 
a commission based on criteria representation of each member reveals a little far-sighted vision . 
a union of this kind would be centralist and would give the small states of the european fewer powers that be a two-chamber system of ee.uu. attached to the small american states . 
after the summit at which all parties involved in order to find a way to put an end to violence and to resume the dialogue between barak and president arafat , we have seen how difficult it is detaining clashes , even if there was a moment at which felt that it gets . sharm-el-sheikh were present 
obviously , some bad informers would say to sr . barón matters which are true with regard to italy and my party . they do 
it is important that the introduction of european tax on energy consumption , which has so far been blocked by applying the principle of unanimity , breakthrough . 
we should not allow between the member states emerges the fear that progress can be made towards solutions coming to an directorate . 
in my opinion , the convention has done an excellent job and i am proud of having been a member of the same . 
in the latter case , the matter will be to at what point function that principle rotation strictly equal between large and small . 
the extension of qualified majority voting , together with the codecision procedure , the preservation of article 250 , in their current form , the place and the commission 's role in the first pillar : these are a number of elements which will allow us to judge instant if there is , after all , success or failure . closer cooperation and not just on matters of true 
. ( fr ) mr president , thank you first of all , to jacques delors , thanks to altiero spinelli and fernand herman , thanks to everyone , from vaclav havel carlo ciampi , from joschka fischer jacques chirac , since michel barnier pierre moscovici , from chris patten costa simitis , including florence , and the multitude of current members of the european parliament has taken up , from 1999 , the huge movement in favour of a european constitution . up until up until jacques 
not because we want to criticise the europe dealer , and it is a socialist which says : we have given more riches to everyone . excessively 
let us at least agree on this objective , and because we do so , let us say how achieve it . 
i have had , mr president , the pleased to note that the proposals put forward to the intergovernmental conference coincide with all or part of the criteria that i have outlined . lately substantially 
. ( fr ) mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , rapporteurs , ladies and gentlemen , you have chosen to hold a debate on the issues on which your house has estimated needed to complete the opinion regarding the intergovernmental conference , which had expressed last april , this morning . 
thus , while respecting the constitutional framework exists , it seems to me difficult - i warn you - earmark more than an advisory procedure auditor 's certificate of parliament at the time of inception . 
you know very well , this means that we make certain political elections , a attaining rather more comprehensive than the regulation of the three requirements indicated previously . 
i myself have stressed that the formula adopted for the letter was a path to explore . 
but i got perfectly well beyond aspect linguistic , your question hides further concern . 
i have here is also why i wanted to thank you , on the substance and in the way , the initiative which you have taken . 
the implementation of closer cooperation should not lead to the creation of new bodies which came to join the union 's institutions . 
it is high time revising the treaties . 
the european council interferes with its refusal to integrate into the european charter of fundamental rights , give it a binding legal value and give people whose rights we look at wounding the possibility of going to the european court of justice . east european consensus founding treaties 
otherwise , i believe that it will not be possible to achieve a europe of our citizens . 
the constitution will be a question - and i quote - " issues that have remained open . ' paragraph 8 : 
so far no one has managed explain to me what has changed since then . 
secondly , on a diary insufficient , which has been left out issues particularly relevant for the future of the union and the interest of citizenship . 
mr president-in-office , it is said that on the eve of the revolution that he would be very serious consequences throughout the world - the eastern orthodox church was inmersa in complex discussions on the design of the vestment corresponding to the cuaresma . bolshevik -acontecimiento 
therefore , partnerships should offer any guarantee that the rapporteur has proposed , open to all complying with the spirit of the treaties and without objecting to the acquis communautaire . 
however , there is an aspect which i should like to stress : i do not think it right that we move towards the call for a referendum obligatory in all member states to adopt precisely the amendments proposed . demanding or 
gil robles for his work . we have had a very thorough debate on two issues which , being distinct , are at one point . 
we are prepared to take care that the vote be taken during the meetings of november , allowing so that they are adopted during the french presidency . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
what good is the introduction of the opportunity to access retirement progressively , by means of part-time work ' , but a threat to the age of retirement , in spite of everything it excessively high in many countries ? ' 
we know that both pensioners and the children they do not like the marmalade . 
i have asked pensioners who sent me here to the european parliament with the pensioners ' party if they would like to drink wine genetically manipulated . 
yet , exceptionally , to have vegetative propagation material standard when other categories unable to meet the needs . or 
so , mr president , i ask myself : is it variations labour cost does not make up for these reasons limiting free competition in the european union ? 
thus , the vote could only be , as has been , against it . 
despite progress towards greater deregulation in the european union , state aid can continue to play a constructive role in order to achieve economic and social progress . 
in order to protect the environment , public services and to guarantee equal income of the inhabitants of the regions economically weaker , this aid can be indispensable . 
we point out the danger that it is also placed on the point of the european union aid from scant magnitude after consolidate the control of the european union in the important state aid , under the guise of competition in the small and medium-sized enterprises . mira 
section vi - economic and social committee 
an examination of timetable for implementation of categories 2 , 3 , 4 and 7 of the budget makes it possible to note that only an average of 8 % of all the commitments are covered by the payments corresponding . 
three years ago we put in place our initiative to promote employment with support to the access of small and medium-sized enterprises venture capital . 
the european parliament intends to do so two ways . 
the european institutions alone will have fulfilled its mission if this is achieved . 
in this context , i should like to thank the vice-president responsible for budgetary matters , mr gerhard schmid , for their constructive cooperation . 
we want to maintain its ability piece of work , but we cannot allow the institution that less attention paid to the orders of the european parliament as part of the budgetary authority . this committee 
this means that 2001 will be the last budget exercise complete , and in this context we must also appreciate the commission 's proposal and that now we are presenting to parliament . 
furthermore , we also demand that review of the administrative costs . 
since 1985 -digo well 85- parliament 's committee on budgets are coming in ensuring that the procedures of the european parliament take account of the financial implications of the resolutions voted upon the house . endeavouring 
and i shall end , mr president , by thanking the diligence of the other institutions in the discussion of this joint statement . 
now they are being asked to give an opinion on a budget which it was amended at first reading by the council . 
incidentally internal policies , the council left room unwise , in heading 3 , more important than the commission 's proposed . 
i would like to conclude that there will be given to the financial perspective the symbolic value which do not have . 
an examination of the three sets of statistics can appreciate that there are still considerable differences , as well order purely quantitative , and , of course , in terms of content . 
i must point out that last year , after a long debate , we reached a new decision on commitology concert with the council , and i have little hope that it be possible to reopen the debate . 
in the financial perspective agreed in berlin for the period up until 2006 foresaw 8.100 billion for the meda programme . 
solana . that is why i would like to ask you both the council and parliament 's committee on budgets to think about foreign policy and not just in the budget when dealing foreign policy . 
the second concerns the aid must be paid to victims of human rights violations that require treatments specialising in institutions . 
in the time that we still earned reaching a compromise solution which will support the important work of the committee on economic and monetary affairs , we can reach agreement ; otherwise , we will maintain our position . whether 
one needs only to look at our televisions and let us look at the present difficulties in the middle east so that you should bear in mind every day . 
i therefore hope that tomorrow 's vote yet we achieve the required majority in favour of the centre of dublin . enlist 
mr president , i would like to make one or two points , beginning with the rural policy , from the point of view of the committee on agriculture . 
we have asked to approve a credit indicative of two million for an information campaign on the cfp . 
the executive committee should negotiate with arguments weight to reach a reasonable agreement with morocco and the council and the governments concerned theirs boosting politically these negotiations . 
today we are examining the 2001 budget with the image of the people of serbia in our retina . 
overall , us would like that were adopted these amendments . 
an important way in which the citizens of europe can make sure that tackle their concerns is the recourse to the ombudsman or do petitions to parliament . 
i turn first to parliament 's budget . 
surprise to many of the members of my delegation , at the beginning of september we established a basic strategy and the 400 amendments introduced by us resulted in a way as a surprise to many of the members of the committee on budgets . some of my colleagues unanimously 
it is hard to believe that the increase posts will solve the problem of management , if there are still procedures antiquated and complexes in the commission and council to address the many problems that exist . 
this house has repeatedly demonstrated in recent years that basing its work on the principle of a rigorous austerity . 
it is just not there is talk of commitments , and always comply with them , but when the time repay , then people say that they are excessive and we need to recortarlos somewhat . for years despreocupadamente promise arrives 
only a few million - not be much más- and at that time they are doing promises tasty , and then , when really need , we are once again withdraw . consign 
the 2001 budget , just as it was the case with the last year , we have had to face with practically insoluble conflicts between pressure in favour of the consolidation and austerity , as decided in the context of the interinstitutional agreement in order to guarantee the financing of enlargement , on the one hand and , on the other hand , the pressing need to finance the stability pact for the balkans . 
the demands of a higher yields also require more staff . 
the adoption of this amendment , in its original version , it would have been able to start to change placing , but a majority of the committee on budgets rejected this idea . thus , the european parliament has arranged , whatever may say , to accept implicitly the council 's position . 
in this case , the examples are , unfortunately , many of the treatment privileged partnerships with the many ngos , with a function , a philosophy and a functioning of the most controversial , the financing of european political parties , via the amounts in the prince programme , to try to persuade the citizens of the member states as well founded euro at a time when the single european experiencing a loss of confidence largely shared by the people of europe , from our friends danes until the leaders of the european central bank . vocation federalist or bolted ; and 
finally , mr heaton-harris has shown their amendments the simplicity of many european programmes in which it offers the citizen a story propaganda about european integration and which are , attention , funded by the very citizen . correctly 
furthermore , we also need to modernise our administrative systems and we should continue to give , in addition , a good example . 
the meda programme , devoted to the mediterranean basin , geographical area of major strategic importance , it is a good example of lack of implementation capacity . 
if we are talking about making reductions or find funds in category 4 for financing certain priorities , must not forget that parliament has its priorities . what we expressed clearly in the vote in committee . 
so that we will have to clarify this figure . 
thank you very much , mr wynn . 
to say that there are elements of flexibility to move in this or that policy , even though some unable or does not wish to do so , and what applies to the countries of the union also applies to the candidate countries . simply real 
i think that austria cannot complain about what has happened , quite the opposite . 
the recommendations of the regional organisations , as well as the experiences of the neighbouring countries will be able undoubtedly contribute to the definition of these resources . 
in the year 1984 , 0.2 % owners in colombia possessed 32 % of land . 
the council is not here to comment on one or other aspect of this issue , which is extremely delicate and painful . 
at the same time , nor can embarked upon in this way a debate on issues which are , once again , extremely complex . 
question no 10 by ( h-0722 / 00 ) : 
i therefore take care to give a definite answer to this difficult issue . 
quite simply , we would sentiment , and his reply what goes to show a little , too , that the council presidency is very proactive in order to address this issue . 
therefore , the admission of this tax obviously will not be null and void . 
i too would apologize , but we are going to apply the rules of procedure . 
however , i would ask you if i have interpreted sakes that the french presidency does not intend to propose new measures for the adoption of the tobin tax , or should i interpret that it is not in any way a question of political will , but simply that you too , who are seated in the section left-hand side of the chamber , have reached the conclusion that it is impossible . the introduction of the tobin tax at world level is not possible . whether 
furthermore , pending the adoption of this directive on the prevention of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies , was taken , in june 2000 , the decision to withdraw from the materials that come forward with regard to these diseases , in order ends up any further progress epidemic and to ensure consumer level what highest possible health protection . hazards 
i have no other elements that i have just give you . 
we are continuing the work of the commission and council on the erika package 1 . however , with regard to this step , which is known known within the european union , which is a particularly difficult for the transiting large ships to win just a few hours , with the risk of old shells and result in a disaster , i would like to know , and above all the inhabitants of corsica and sardinia , i would like to know whether it will be possible if we provide for a ban purely and simply the passage of straits bonifcacio these large ships , these large containers . and we are well aware of these two countries and come to bog step . 
i therefore believe that we should support in principle , the commission 's proposals to amend the staffing policy . 
the budget needs new funds cash for serbia and kosovo . 
i hope , mr president , i would like to end with this , which is being cut notwithstanding all along the lines of the budget at eur 50 million to finance the peace agreement between israel and the plo . 
that is why we will propose new measures , not to seek new funding - which we already know that in the present circumstances will not be able to establish new commitments which improve the quality of expenditure and make sure that it is not a euro . piddle from the european parliament directed both ejecutar- but interinstitutional 
just think that in european policy , as in any other area , and sometimes the options moderate leave to be majority voting . 
is designed to bedim rather than to clarify and i am disappointed by the attitude adopted today in relation budgetization in accordance with the activities . 
however , that expenditure , there is also a greater extent how the budget is seen as a political instrument where the distribution of costs reflects clear political priorities . shared according to activities 
and then we shall find a solution for next year and next year again not to have also to go through this discussion on how find money for the reconstruction of the balkans . multiannual , so that 
the people involved in the development of an agricultural industry will know that the main thrust of the recent reform agreed in berlin is a step continual support to the products to direct support farmers ' incomes . sustainable 
ladies and gentlemen , a budget is always more than a cold calculating figures . 
finally , it is immoral , mr president , cutting expenditure for agriculture policy , for the meda programme , for the excluded social , and will try to ensure the resources set aside to fund the obligations of the european union in kosovo and in yugoslavia . 
it is quite simple : last winter serbs cannot cold or die of hunger . 
furthermore , i would like to express my concern regarding the fact that the various parliaments of the young people have been included in the socrates programme . 
naturally , we must also make it clear to the council that he also him down some of the responsibility when it comes to deficient developing many programmes belonging to the heading of external action . 
we need solutions stable around this aid , and even more so as to the long-term planning that is required in the western balkans . 
i think that the majority is prepared to accept this , provided that these funds being used appropriately . 
i share the rapporteur sra . rühle anxieties and criteria mentioned this afternoon in connection with the chapters of research and the breadline . 
two weeks ago , we welcome the joint parliamentary assembly gpa . 
at the same time , we demand that the research fund and information being invested budgetary resources allocated to study alternative products for existing tobacco growers . 
i want to make very clear that , in which to northern ireland is concerned , the european europeaha had influence more direct and positive conceivable . 
in this model respecting the rules and procedures is guaranteed by an independent body and , ultimately , so judges . 
that way we will reach for the first time a codecision procedure at first reading on a text extremely complex and full of technical difficulties associated with a particularly sensitive area protecting individual liberties . 
it is very appropriate that have not been melts their respective roles . 
we know that the schengen system has more than 10 million pieces which affect approximately 1.5 million people , that europol is looking at how we extend its powers , centralize information from various services of the fifteen member states , and it under the exclusive control of a palestinian whose powers and resources are not posts at its disposal the necessary means to enable it to fulfil truly another task . for example stored policeman constantly 
that said , i take this opportunity to say that i consider to be appropriate to worry about not only of the protection of the citizens compared to the new technologies , but also vis-à-vis the use of them in order to promote the capacity of the citizens of europe in order to act and to interacting compared to the european institutions . presence of commissioner 
amendments nos 1 , 2 , 4 to 10 , 12 40 , 42 to 54 , 57 and 58 , 60 to pick up the text of the council to the points on which the commission could give its assent . numbers as 64 
it goes without saying it that their opinion on the legislative proposals relating to the protection of personal data will be particularly regarded as long as assembles an important contribution to the debate legislative between the institutions . 
the treaty recognizes in fact an economic and social situation , aggravated by the barriers between the durability and conjugation caused severe damage to the development of these regions . outermost regions difficult individual 
this will contribute to the promotion of economic and social progress by means of a high level of employment . 
therefore , i congratulate the sra . mrs sudre and we await with great interest to the development of the commission 's proposals can be taken into account the specific characteristics , as planned in article 299 ( 2 ) of the treaty of amsterdam . normative to soon 
for many europeans some outermost regions are nothing more than a tourist destination on the map . 
our rates of unemployment are among the highest in the union . 
i am glad that the commission has adopted by a large majority the amendments i tabled . 
in my opinion , it is very important that the ultra-peripheral areas are to be integrated into the trans-european transport networks , energy and telecommunications . 
the unanimous approval of the members of the committee on regional policy of the report presented by our colleague mrs sudre margie represents fidelity of the european parliament to one of the most important commitments . 
we cannot discuss a whole series of circumstance , reached that point and idyllic -denominémoslo así- , no longer be necessary to take further action in the treatment of these three areas and especially of the outermost regions about which we are discussing today - and believing that suitable 
this article does not allow us do everything , but it allows us to strengthen and , i think it is necessary , to extend and improve our action . ladies and gentlemen 
for the preparation of the proposals that are necessary , collaborate obviously with the member states and regions in question . 
we know that in these areas there are difficulties persistent and i thus think objectively , according to its real level of development , which will have no need for a long time of the support of regional policy and of individual measures . 
a meeting of this kind could get its act together again during the year 2001 , when we go more advanced in the implementation of the programme presented in march . 
the president declared settled the matter and i accept fully . 
i think that parliament is right in adhere to the current provisions , because , as has already said , it is often a malfunction devices vote , but meps voted and if you could correcting one vote , it would be a problem of never stop . another colleague not forgotten 
there is no question that i am what they like . 
in conclusion , mr commissioner , in addition , it is essential that the commission services responsible , in cooperation and coordination with member states , setting up a system of controls homogenous and effective in the whole food chain , and that the network of laboratories food from the european union is enhanced and works coordinated with the commission . authority 
in order to prevent them scientific research repetition imposed cooperation with the research institutes national and community . 
today we are talking about a white paper , and we should define certain general principles . 
these proceedings have now been changed and we now have our own food standards agency ' modified and " . 
finally , we will also support some of the new amendments , of course , amendments nos 11 and 13 until 7 until 9 , and we want a free vote amendment no 14 . 
i would like to stress that the food safety depends on the solidity of inspections carried out by the authorities , and let us not forget that the degree of soundness of them has been determined by the weakest link in the light of this difference foremost let that be guaranteed . 
we are discussing an issue on which we underline the superficial and vacuity of this debate that we keep on political union of europe . 
let us hope , therefore , the european food safety authority purely scientific expertise , in conjunction with our national agencies . 
if we follow the trail of progress of the main diseases from the food affecting europe at present , the majority of them were made your first appearance in the americas . 
however , we must determine the preconditions for convening the authority of such a way guaranteed act efficiently and quickly . 
we must also point out , as has been some previous speakers , especially the sr . whitehead and sra gebhardt , that the white paper is much more than any new labour regulatory of the union . 
mr president , i feel happy and thank the commission , because it has started work to improve food safety , to sr . bowis and the whole of the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy . nowadays 
i think that amendment no 17 is particularly interesting . it says that we need to consult the consumer organisations . 
another aspect is the revision of the labelling provisions for sale to more like to detail which , in terms of the traceability of products and their components , provide an accurate information to consumers and allow purges possible responsibilities in the case of risk or of crisis . organic both by 
in my view , the adoption of a new legislation does not provide an adequate response to non-compliance with the existing legislation . 
thanks to the vote on the environment committee we manage to restore some balance within the scope of the problems associated with nutrition and some important points of reference to the role of small and medium-sized enterprises in the protection of the various eating habits . including 
mr president , i would like to add my voice to those of other colleagues who have congratulated the rapporteur , sr . bowis , for having approached this specific problem of a very constructive manner and logical . 
mr president , that the white paper on food safety in itself does not present legislative nature do not undermines the dual value which certainly possesses . 
the rapporteur , but also many members from the commission , including myself , have put the emphasis on food safety authority and , in fact , this is regrettable in some way . 
integrity and independence of this agency will protect with better guarantees the security of european consumers . 
throughout this process thought repeatedly that have been lucky when choosing to the rapporteur 's report . 
mr president , i too should like to congratulate mr sr . bowis for the remarkable effort made to include all points of view in his report and for having agreed to the overall concept of food . referirnos mainly 
after all , mr president , the policy cannot cope its responsibility . 
and what is most important of all , it will have to win the respect of his or her peers , public confidence and the will of the governments of member states to accept its findings . 
that is how i see a food authority for the future . 
we have the world health organisation in geneva . 
i do not disguise the fact that when we issued the white paper me i made against this authority . 
therefore , we must ensure that the european union to be given the highest possible standards of food safety , even though this view - shared unanimously - must look at the same time the consequences that implies , from an economic point of view , a need productive . 
tasks will be as follows : research independent scientific advice , controls and inspections independent , rapid alert system and also coordination in order to restore public confidence . - 
as stage direction sidelines , i can say to the speakers who have spoken about the need for flexibility in relation to the production of specialities culinary local and typical products , that this issue is already covered in the legislation on the hygiene . 
this will facilitate the task of the commission when it comes to putting forward a balanced proposal which takes account of the greatest possible number of parliament 's views and the many interested in the field of food safety . 
rather , in the past , this problem was one of the driving forces behind that , politically speaking , marked the signing of the ottawa convention . 
i reiterate my position contrary to amendments nos 10 and 19 , for consistency and , as far as amendment no 29 , i would ask the split vote separated to achieve better formulation of the whole text which i think that it has suffered any lack of interpretation . budget 
and here arises from the first point : the need for the european union , in particular , the commission will do its best to those countries are not signatories to come to sign the ottawa convention . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we all know what conclusions have antipersonnel mines despite the fact that in isolated cases frequently exist grand justifications military . 
was parliament that proposed for the first time in 1996 , the creation of a budget line horizontal and an appropriate legal basis which constitutes a platform currency for the wide range of interventions that approach in this important area . 
although i cannot conceal the fact that , of course , the powers of persuasion of the european aimed at achieving this objective they are limited to some extent by the difficulties that prevail in some member states to sign and ratify the convention . 
the effectiveness of the mine action will be greater if it was drawn up according to the specific conditions of each state . 
as parliament knows , there are already too many and , as parliament knows , with our proposals on reform of the community assistance to third countries we hope that we can put behind the control of the individual projects and focus , however , in our negotiations with the member states on strategies and programmes lump sum . ponderous individual 
ngos have proliferating in response to the need , however , nearly four years since the first un conference on landmines was held in geneva and over a year since the entry into force of the ottawa convention , we are obliged to recognise that many countries and thousands of people , usually in the world 's poorest regions , are still suffering from the tremendously anti-personnel landmines and ammunition without an alleged plot . later . 
the commission should improve the quality of its programme , as well as the speed with which the enforced . 
i think , however , that if you come back to investigate them carefully it would give notice that some of them - at least in my opinion - have to do with awareness campaigns , with transparency , with the access of the ngos , with things which work well at the moment , but that could operate more effectively . 
patten also are right that the european parliament and council must retain its power away from the authorities and i listened very carefully . patten on this point , because evidently believes that we have to have our hands still further . comments of sr 
mr president , our group has been active for some time in the whole range of actions and necessary , from the adjournment of the production , destruction of stocks , cessation of marketing , cleansing camps mines , rehabilitation of victims , and awareness-raising . claims 
then there is incumbent upon the member supporting the process in international forums . 
mines naturally represent a major obstacle for reconstruction in these countries as well as for the return of refugees . 
at the rate of disposal which we have been would take - as has been said anteriormente- rather more than 100 years in cleaning up the planet anti-personnel mines . 
a third sector see into concrete measures which should propose , to examine and to implement . 
every child that we can save death by mines or horrendous injuries in bosnia , africa or anywhere else deserves the efforts of all of us . 
we must , in fact , put pressure on the european union countries which have not signed it , such as finland , or who have not ratified , such as greece . 
ladies and gentlemen , let you look at finland ! 
and finally , we hope that in the context of future tasks of the european proceed to the formation of technicians , in particular of people who will have an interest in the disappearance of landmines at local level . common military force 
nor is it emphasises the fact that the list of countries most severely infected realizes , fundamentally , countries of the developing world . 
parliament 's proposals could not be more inconsistent with the lisbon objectives . 
the rapporteur van lancker wants parliament to decide on the amendment to the commission 's proposal , mainly by adding a number of areas where it is appropriate to legislate and setting some rights at european level . 
for example , we wish to extend the luxembourg process , which applies to employment policy , also to the protection and social exclusion . 
powers more important , such as germany , france , the united kingdom , to some extent , italy , have agreed to subject them to the small countries of eastern europe and south applying for membership to the european union . domination 
however , for legal reasons , we consider it wrong to make a reference to it in the art . 6 of the eu treaty because in the convention - accordance with its estructura- cannot agree formally , so there is no legal base . now 
the inclusion of a new text in the treaties could lead to legal confusion . 
in addition , the rapporteur echoes the new theory fashionable in brussels , the so-called dual legitimacy of the european union . the citizens , represented by the european parliament , and the member states , represented by the council . 
we swedish social democrats and democrats have today voted against the report presented by olivier dupuis has been leading duhamel on the constitutionalising the treaties . 
for that reason , it is essential that the european union will come to have a constitution which would include the charter of fundamental rights . 
a constitution would only make sense if the democratic framework of a genuine european federation , the united states of europe . 
we have said , in accordance with a large part of the political class , which prefer that our international relations governed by an international treaty . believed understand 
. ( de ) i welcome the report by sr . duhamel because it makes a contribution interesting and constructively to the idea of the constitutionalising the treaties . into 
we believe that a reorganization of the treaties and their simplification would enable people to do with the sphere of competence of the eu and its limits , and the procedures to exercise those powers . clarity - - 
until the treaty of amsterdam in 1997 , europe was a supersindicato conference . 
the edd group is voting against the report presented by josé maría gil-robles gil-delgado on closer cooperation . 
that report makes clear , in fact , the concept of a very solid , where all forms of cooperation should express their views within " and " should be directed towards the goal of super-state . single institutional framework where all union 
we must therefore avoid reducing the progress of the whole and , therefore , authorise some member states to make progress , developing the mechanism of closer cooperation . 
the structures which govern the operation of the internal market have been crowned by the success since the beginning of the 1990s . 
. ( nl ) the european cooperation can be useful to cross-border problems . 
these areas could pose a formidable laboratory in terms of sustainable development . 
technocrats european judges , have tried to remove the rate of spring ' , which seeks to our communes overseas countries and , above all , protects our craftsmen . so ' resources 
france , on your side , owns overseas departments in the indian ocean and the caribbean . 
its independence will be an indispensable element for the credibility of this body . 
our vote has been clarified , therefore , the role of the composition of the future european authority , but we also have shaped our demands on their funding and its independence . 
secondly , the european agency must be completely independent . 
it has to be taken into account the type of farming methods and agroindustriales , the problem of imports of food , the composition of the ingredients of animal feed , maximum levels dioxins and pesticide residues , food additives and a different kettle of fish , by giving priority to food safety . goods 
we have voted in favour of amendment no 15 as we are defending vigorously defending europe 's cultural heritage linked to the local food production . 
i would like to make a my colleagues in the committee on agriculture that have been tabled nearly 30 amendments . two requests . 
we also want entering a 50 % of appropriations in the budget line and a further 50 % in reserve . 
i note here that there are proposals to reduce the budget .

madam president , my name appears as signatory several amendments to this report . 
( parliament adopted the legislative resolution ) 
the real surprise this budget relates to external policies where dominates selfishness and meanness . 
it is also possible to free up resources through the use of the instruments of flexibility . 
. ( el ) i voted against the haug report , just as i have voted in favour of my group 's proposal rejecting the budget for 2001 . 
we are thinking in particular to the new pilot project which will finance actions of information in the area of combating paedophilia . 
this shows fehacientemente scant motivation which raises the motion for a european union , even amongst the citizens politically active . 
in this way , from 20 to 30 % of the markets will offer once again to competition privately . 
given that none of this is guaranteed under the present report , i voted against it ; 
with unacceptably low thresholds , which eliminating subsidies - in conjunction with the proposed cuts upper limit of withdrawn at 5 % for citrus fruit , to 8.5 % to 10 % for the rest of fruit and hortalizas- , makes it clear that , for huge quantities of fruit and vegetables process , which putrefies in the fields and in repairers cooperatives , there will be no chance of market-place , resulting lowering prices . this gives farmers will have a mandate to irremisiblemente grubbing-up into other crops . apples and pears and general national

the consumers and smes does not benefit from a sufficient extent of the internal market , which is being completed with the introduction of the euro . 
after all , the banks are being forced to date by the member states to report to its central bank cross-border payments which exceed eur 12 500 , with a view to the statistics relating to the balance of payments . 
of course , required at the same strict criteria in terms prudential and money-laundering . these firms 
we know even in cases where the committees on cross-border credit transfers have increased since the introduction of the euro , and not just in a small amount . 
the european central bank could help by applying a format of european unitary in transactions of payments , as well as with the use of a identification code banking unitary at european level within international system went . supervisor 
it is crucial that the consumer acceptance of the euro . 
madam president , the report by the sra . peijs , relating to payments of little value in the internal market , resume the longstanding demand of the european parliament on the high cost of cross-border transfers within the union . 
the peijs report what it says in recital d of the draft resolution . thing i will quote : " the high costs associated with cross-border payments are harmful to the consumers ' confidence in the euro . ' 
so , we have a great deal still to be done in this area , but the resources and the means available to us politicians at this point are much smaller than the existing in relation to this issue payments in the internal market . 
the market of the euro will constitute an internal market , and the general public does not understand that , in this area in which the risks of change and the means of electronic payment via the internet have been incorporated into the everyday life , a transfer munich to be much more expensive than a transfer from munich kiel . disappear in the future banking salzburg 
achieving this objective we will also mean still many years of work to us and to you . 
on that occasion too , we will look into the shorter term to carry out cross-border transfers , an issue on which we have insisted on the report by the sra . peijs . 
the debate is closed . 
but it seems to be a good policy prefer a pragmatic approach and proximity that puts the small business at the heart of this mechanism , more than a proposal which , on the pretext of small steps disjointed , only serve to create statistics whose use specific would be quite impossible . obviate the 
however , i want to make three comments on this programme . 
let us remember that the first programme of community action in this area was made in 1983 , that is seventeen years ago . 
likewise , i have always been in favour of the fact that it will also vote on a policy efficiently and pragmatic . 
i would say that they are real commando economical and innovation , are at the front line and are exposed to risks that this entails . 
at the end we shall have to take into account the results of the work of colloquies " governance " which took place last week in brussels under the aegis of the centre of technology foresight seville , as well as the monitoring of this colloquies as there are many interference with the issue that we are discussing today . sciences . 
the rapporteur listed a number of priorities in order to strengthen the business climate european . 
it is very important for europe , because it can provide an aid quick , appropriate and technically correct . 
mr president , i too would like to add my voice to those my thanks that have been given the sra . montfort on his excellent work . 
the important thing is to find the right balance , to avoid a situation continual people fail at the expense of other people . 
this is not justice , and i therefore support this report . 
this is just as the guiding principle of the charter for small businesses . 
the programme will do everything necessary to ensure that networking offer this information . 
it goes without saying that fundamental objective of this plan is to limit the exodus towards the european union countries , as well as to couple repatriate people staying illegally in the european union . 
i would like to stress the need to take measures to improve internal security , to a strengthening of the dialogue between european and local authorities , and , with regard to the commission and the council , to the impulse of specific actions in conjunction with the albanian authorities italian and greek . albanian specially 
the social , economic and political combined with the missing or with the inadequate legal certainty and organised crime appeases movements mass migration . deficient situation 
mr president , unlike the sra . pack , i think that the more sections dealing albania better . 
it goes without saying that it is not possible to find an immediate solution to all of this problem , but , at a time limit does not very long , we need to create a world reasonably fair , safe and with potential future . 
there is also a chasm between the donors , all of us , europe , the united states , which we give money , we formulated projects and similar issues , and the same people who is on the ground . 
let us use , therefore , the bilateral agreements which so clearly and legal proceedings , time and place of residence , the salary , hours , working conditions and social security , so that they can force the service of the economies of our countries and to contribute to friendship and cooperation between peoples and not to grow aspirations nationalists and of the time of the cold war . immigrants pick as a fixing 
we repatriate people who have been integrated adequately . 
the point of attention must not limit the flow of migrants and refugees , but on how to improve the living conditions of the zone for people to stay at home . reside in modes 
mr president , i too believe that , as has rightly said sr . dimitrakopoulos , with regard to the difficulties of albania - economic , social and internal security - is still the subject of helping to restore the rule of law , to offer reassurance to the citizens and restore the authority of the institutions and local administrations . fundamental that country 
i share the view of my colleague , mr liese that we need a burden-sharing in terms of policy on asylum and refugees . 
the action plan for albania and the neighbouring region was adopted in june this year , and it is , therefore , the sixth of the series . 
to ratos imposed frustration , but also the view of the european law , and we want to urge this house , but also to other community institutions , so as not to shrink back to the efforts of the work thorough , working with precision and made available to it the necessary time and the staff required . surprise 
with this report we are to send the message that are serious complaints about the poor quality of legislation and on the suprarregionalización and centralism . nationals 
it is in itself a matter quite important , of course , even if you do not like to say that judging by the low turnout in order to discuss further this issue in depth . 
another issue more vitally important is that the report raises the question of subsidiarity , to some extent is controversial this evening in this house . 
it would also be very interesting that you could ask a study of the current state of law , in the light of this principle , to make it more simply , more transparent , more efficient and more appropriate , deshaciéndose texts superfluous , as invites you to this paragraph 6 of this report . 
having studied the report very carefully , i have reached the conclusion that is not even a political principle : it is a principle theological . 
in other words , we must safeguard the recognition of the principle of subsidiarity also communities , realities , to the effect intermediate , to the core labour , families and to the people who are the only real sovereign legislative action and administration . smallest autonomous 
allow me , therefore , provide an overview of synthesis . 
i now give the floor to sr . commissioner . 
is this an area in which we should intervene and draw up a detailed legislation which ensures that plants across the board , or should we regarded as an alternative a voluntary agreement which will be complied with and is able to control ? 
. ( de ) i voted in favour of this report , although i did not secured the adoption of certain amendments , and it is the question of the high cost of change and transfers in the euro zone 
in 15 months , we have , indeed , the same coins and notes in eleven member states , it will be more expensive draw from this money evenly outside the country in which they live . when 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i would like to start by regretting that the fisheries commissioner , sr . franz fischler , could not be here today . 
there must be an agreement which will advance the fishing cooperation and the fisheries sector moroccan , but that pleases also fully the fishing interests european fleets . 
consequently , we have reached a consensus to work from the perspective of a jointly responsible for , after which morocco will express their views at a meeting which , as you pointed out , will be held in brussels on 30 october , i.e. monday . 
a few weeks ago , i myself was in algeciras - in the south coast spaniard . it is not a far cry from morocco . 
the time , when he goes , we learn that in addition difficult could become impossible . 
by means of the fisheries agreements the eu can exercising fishing activities and exchange fishing rights with third countries . 
i have read in a magazine swedish specialised in fisheries that one of these ships land their burden on the aaiún , described as a port moroccan . 
all this is at stake are under threat all our fisheries agreements , not only with morocco because they are also mauritania and shortly , among others . guinea . 
eleven months has been slow in coming to the turning point in which we are , however , the meeting on 30 and in this regard , we also know assess the latest measures of commissioner fischler , the results of their journey from the past on 26 morocco and the interviews high-level maintained , even with the very king . 
but i would like to convey to the commission , represented today by commissioner busquin , a few very brief . messages dignity 
my question to the commission is not achieved an agreement with morocco , or if this agreement is held in accordance highlighted by the commission , an agreement that will encourage the production moroccan , does the commission intend to take structural measures to compensate for the delay that will happen in the regions affected ? if 
as had believed , difficulties in the negotiations with the moroccan authorities have been extremely large . 
finally , in the event that the negotiations fail , the union has a duty political and moral support of fishermen and owners with support satisfactory them to assure means of subsistence . undesirable 
we need to dismantle the over-capacity of the fishing industry of the eu . 
that is why we need as quickly as possible closer economic and political relations with marruecossin prejudice the imposition of our european interests in the area of fisheries . 
that is why the commission is working on the basis of a new partnership aims to a development that interest to both parties and permitting , on the one hand , the development of the fisheries sector moroccan fleet , aquaculture , transforming commercial and research and , secondly , the allocation of fishing opportunities to european fishermen . integral 
rights of the professors language 
" not only in germany there is a clear difference between the two formulations . 
in july 1999 , the commission took this infringement proceedings before the court of justice . 
so , unless there will be achieved harmonize systems - something which we hope that we stand at the moment , respecting the principle of subsidiarity must not allow that to be done pass through discrimination which , likelihood , is the request of a privilege . - 
perhaps we can accept that the outgoing commission under the leadership of sr . santer was not the best , that is why we dissolved . 
members of the committee on juridicos and the internal market and all the parties have to say that it is not good enough to talk about human rights , whether in cases where it deny the right to certain people not to be recognised and applied , and that is the problem in this case . throughout the european aunado , support letters real action is taken effective 
this is completely unacceptable in a modern europe . 
of course , the area of education falls within the principle of subsidiarity , but in the context of contracts , freedom of movement of workers and banning all discrimination worry us all , although we will be favourable - and i especially , because i come from a federal state - to the principle of subsidiarity as a matter of principle computer cooperation in the european union and to which the distribution of competences between the different levels of europe to be orderly according to the princio subsidiarity as quickly as possible . 
in this context , because we cannot talk of discrimination . 
mr president , do you would deal with the words surgical in italian , english , french , german or by a surgeon ? by a large cognoscenti 
( the sitting was closed at 10.56 p.m. ) 
we want to tell you our deepest sympathy . 
i give the floor to sr . ceyhun , which is said in my capacity as rapporteur , and on behalf of the socialist group . 
in relation to the statements by the council and commission on the third asia-europe meeting , the council has informed us that we do not wish to speak at the moment . 
so it is an issue which , in the light of the treaties and in the light of the euratom treaty is a matter for the commission ; it affects , or can affect many citizens who are not alone in that region and in their area , without any contingency plan , there are hundreds of thousands of european citizens coming from the 15 member states of the european union , other than many people who come from outside , because it is the coast of day . spaniards because : 
madam president , it is sorry , but typical learn by means of home secretary , the greater oreja , that there is no possibility of dialogue with basque nationalists , even if in future arose a new truce . spaniard sr . some 
i would like to request that we take account of this week a affirmation of the committee on the british government 's decision to introduce a tribute character discriminatory transporters nationality does not veal . 
given that the liberal group , tending increasingly to allied forces inspiration , racist , xenophobic authoritarian , i think this is a serious threat not only to italy , but is also a sign that affects the whole of europe . matches so-called , even with 
however , in the report also includes critical remarks to the french proposal . 
these demands are contained in amendments nos 2 and 4 of the report of the sra . karamanou . 
the french presidency 's initiative which we are considering today is intended to improve the two agreements outlines of mutual assistance in criminal matters - i have just mentioned - in particular in terms of the fight against money laundering . 
i can only say that if the idea of the fight against money laundering is adversely blame will be of the council and not from parliament . 
we can only congratulate you on this work . 
marinho - and i also agree - , the road is communitisation . 
all the speakers agree that it is a very worthwhile initiative and we support your statements . 
what we need is being granted to europol operational capacity to act manner across borders . 
cases such as that are too many in our present-day europe therefore lend my support to a hurried cult of mutual judgments , i would like existed acknowledgement set of standards fair . shared . prior checks 
i understand that it is very difficult because here we have to build on the basis of a dispersal of instruments . 
but it is also a need in order to strengthen the economic area of the european union , and it is also a desire of our citizens , whom we must reciprocate , because the union 's citizens are entitled to safety . 
in the european union , we must continue to carrying out a fight against money laundering , aware that , especially after the introduction of the single market and the liberalization of capital markets and financial services , it imposes a police and judicial cooperation between the member states , which are as effective as possible . persistent effective 
as consultant financial , nothing authorises suppose that the lawyer , as such , is not exercising their profession . 
similarly , i would like to say that i am aware of the delicacy of the question raised by several honourable members about the conditions under which the confidentiality of the legal profession can serve as a rejection founded to cooperation in the area of justice in the fight against money laundering . 
this is true , particularly in the event of serious crimes , crimes of particular gravity and cross-border issues . 
overall , the task is so great and so important that there can be desempeñada solely by the council . 
so there is a need to strengthen the rights of citizens adopting an effective instrument and recognise the competence of the court of justice , particularly in terms of its right of interpretation and its power to decide whether or not . 
therefore , while presto my support for increased cooperation and coordination , i believe that make it a legal system would be a wrong decision and we will oppose it . 
the second point it is interesting . 
this is something positive and it is pleasing to note that you have so much support in this parliament . 
i would like to take this oportunidad- as several members have raised questions delicadas- to tell you quite frankly , as has just pointed out . coelho , that this initiative we seem to be first and foremos
