we know very well that the current treaties are not enough and that , in the future , will be necessary to develop a structure better and different to the european union , a structure more constitutional also make it clear what the powers of the member states and which belong to the union . 
mensajes concern firstly to the economic difficulties and social by which we are passing , despite a sustained growth , the fruit of years of effort by all our fellow citizens . 
the current situation , unsustainable above all for many self-employed drivers and for the sector of agriculture , must be improved without a doubt . 
in itself , it is good to reach an agreement on the procedures , but we must ensure that this system is not likely to be used as a political weapon . 
they also have clear rights that must be respected . 
i agree with its signal warning against the return , which some are tempted , intergovernmental methods . 
we are many who want a federation of nation states . 
the rapporteurs have pointed out the quality of debate and also the need to go further . of course , i can only agree with them . 
in recent i say that , before i make a statement , we must learn to know and measuring the forces that are available , given that the speech political must be realistic and reciprocate always to the reality of forces and the objectives that all we are proposing . 
i would like that begins by this closer cooperation to give some examples of the new talent for europe . 
the vote will take place today at 12.30 p.m. 
the commission can accept amendment no 12 . 
i shall be voting in favour of the adoption of the draft regulation . 
the reports of the court accounts european leave no also point out these subestimaciones , from greece to portugal . 
therefore , we have not voted in favour of this report . 
according to its supporters , these buses not only are cheaper and versátiles internationally , but also more environmentally friendly because use less fuel per passenger . 
it also asks that establishing values reference to disseminate best practice throughout the eu . 
a binding charter will cover all the possible cases and that enuncie rights whose taxation is absolutely legal could raise difficulties later . 
i would like to thank both her magnificent work . 
however , we believe that this can be concluded in nice within less than three months , because that is why we can not vote in favour of the charter to be included in the treaty in the nice summit . 
- ( de ) the group parliamentary european csu welcomes that in this draft charter of fundamental rights collected and to make visible fundamental rights that citizens will maintain against the bodies and institutions of the eu . 
it reflects the liberal europe that is being built . 
in fact , would have liked this charter withdraw to continue working in it , as propose many non-governmental organisations of different countries of the union . 
( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by mr queiró , on hungary ( com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ] ; 
therefore , i would like to propose next year parliament not to present a general report , but reports by countries in order to stress that ensuring a development differentiated negotiations . 
i believe , secondly , that on the basis of the work begun by the previous presidencies and by the commission , the french presidency will be able - at least , so i hope - to present a precise assessment of the accession process . 
i have said , and i have no difficulty in repeat it here , that the french presidency will not shirk any of the difficulties arising , which does not mean that we will have time and resources needed to deal with each one of them . 
this question is perfectly legitimate , but it is necessary zanjarla way correct and precise . 
enlargement is a broad perspective that we should approach with vision and with great generosity . 
not everything outcome of the intergovernmental conference in accordance with the formidable demands adjustment that enlargement entails . 
the second major change which we are experiencing and that europe must adapt is the enormous speed of economic development , which we directed towards the global market and towards the global competition . 
fourthly : what previous follows the principle to be given the states that have been incorporated subsequent negotiations fair opportunity to join those who have started before . 
in the sectors in that it is necessary to make massive investment and long term to achieve the levels of the eu , must be borne in mind that , in the same s circumstances , the current states also disfrutaron long transitional periods . 
in the protection of borders and the fight conra crime will apply equally our standards and the benefits of european cooperation . 
look again trade flows which currently exist between the european union and the countries of central and eastern europe join . 
i was delighted that the commissioner has started , finally , to inform the population of that fears of those who talk not absolutely have to be certain . 
this compromise , which they themselves acquired , must be applied to be possible until the accession to the european union . 
for this we need the help of the commission , because although we have the necessary will , sometimes lack of ammunition indispensable . 
this is something essential in order to , as the european union , to look objectives aimed at the implementation of our own internal reforms . 
however , there are points and issues of scale of the beg to differ with . 
this damages the european union itself , to its future independent in connection with north america and also to a defence policy and security common european , as also introduces risks with russia and with other countries . 
we hope that there is success and not to be postponed for another intergovernmental conference should be done to that enlargement can take place . 
- ( fr ) i will be brief , as i have been ago now , because in my first speech , i finished three minutes before . 
it is very important , and from this point of view i welcome the fact that the commission to work in an information campaign , that commissioner verheugen wishes that is both comprehensive and decentralised . 
but - and will be my last words , i want to say quite clearly : i am not pessimistic in this area , i do not ando with chiquitas , i wish a option vigorous with regard to enlargement - to have credibility , we must also be serious , we must understand , we must also be able to take up the accession of the people , of the peoples of the candidate countries and of our peoples . 
for the moment , i see no need to talk about the previsiones perspective in connection with enlargement . 
i can say today is no single country . 
for the same reason have expressed , also the wish to join the european union . 
we shall now give the floor to the various rapporteurs . 
i entrusted the task of being rapporteur in connection with estonia . 
as conservative , i am very careful with the money from taxpayers . 
i believe that only then would have an idea rough what people have been achieved in latvia in recent years . 
this is not enough , a global strategy must be directed more intensively towards the citizens of europe . 
lithuania has a considerable potential for economic growth in the long term . 
in order to wider question of the cooperation of the european union with the russian federation . 
and i have here another sensitive issue : the support of public opinion , inside and outside the european union . 
as a result of a intelligent fiscal policy , investment direct foreign last year exceeded the 5.450. million euros . 
we do not want interfere and much less we germans . 
the democracy slovak develops a stable and previously had seen the opposite . 
in this speech , i propose to highlight and systematize six aspects of the development of the situation hungarian with a view to accession to the european union , noteworthy particular . 
that is why i am pleased to see that has been discussed this matter in the general report on enlargement . 
finally , i have mentioned a cloud ominous that hangs over europe and i must specify that i say to personal ago . 23 years agents secret bulgarians launched a campaign criminal in western europe and attack certain people , including my friend georgi markov , writer known and an integral part of the media , which was murdered in a street london in full day . 
the creation of a group of high level is something which i recommend to my colleagues . 
the report that i have the honour of returning and which has also been approved unanimously in committee noted that the territory controlled by the legal authority fulfils the political criteria of copenhagen . 
to this end , and without prejudice , of course , own role of the commission , our high representative of the cfsp , mr solana , will play a key role . 
the main problem malta still however consists in the accession process is enjuiciado of differently by the government and the opposition and the european union gives importance to this accession process , expires so continued . 
even between the usa and mexico levels are closest . that is why , in the sector of the internal market opted in favour of a strategy recapacitada , flexible and appropriate to the challenges . 
but let me also say in this place that i have respect for the citizens of the countries of central and eastern europe join , who ten years ago had the courage to come out into the street and put in place this process . 
the society of information is important both for the former as to the new industry . 
we can only cegar by the percentages of community law collected in the national legislation . 
this means that the environment just recover so sensitive in eastern europe when lapse between 15 and 20 years from the moment . it is unacceptably long . 
that also applies to the transport of live animals for slaughter , which is something degrading . 
we are trying now to impose an obligation to carry out assessments of the consequences for health in the case of all the legislation of importance . 
my opinion report must also speak of the european union and must make it clear that the european funds for regional development can not continue otorgándose in basis to a mere distribution accounting between regions or localities . 
elmar brok has begun rightly your speech with the observation that we are all going to be the beneficiaries of enlargement , in particular , we are on this side of the current external border . 
the inland waterways will be important for environmental reasons , because we must draw from the road goods and if not we can transporting them railways then we must use the ways sea and river . 
it has also been a question of selfishness and above all populism , and the change to the low of the euro has not helped certainly in the right direction . 
our message to the countries of the accession is as follows : do not stop confuse the extension of the reports before us , the dossiers . 
unfortunately , at the moment there are many parties that have been removed its mask ideological and show , therefore , very few ideals and too materialism . 
if we need to postpone the free right acquisition of land and shelter to use family , let us do so . 
there is even now but it can put at risk because of the lack of transparency and resistance to obvious , but not public , some governments . 
in addition , where are the millions of jobs promised by the maastricht treaty ? 
in the time when we are revising the treaties , some member calling for a new reform . 
the majority of the international studies show that enlargement means benefits macroeconomic . 
however , except minorities insignificant , no political group questions the main objective of the policy slovenian that is the join as soon as possible in the european union . 
once the union had extended quickly , should diferenciarla way remarkable , as outlined in the position on enlargement adopted by the eldr group . 
for me there is no doubt that the obligatory regime and institutional which operates in that country is used as a result many consequences in the long term for the health of children orphans . 
i ask you to support the relevant amendments . 
and even we , the european political , declare very little understanding in the process of negotiation . 
cyprus will be a sort of bridge to the countries of the region . 
i wish the negotiators to continue its work with success in this important area . 
of course , is also important a second kind of communication between our countries and the countries that want accession for passing on of what is involved in the european union . 
we must not give us the luxury of lose occasions such as that there was to the early years 90 . 
mr president , first of all , as socialist rapporteur for the report on romania , i would like to congratulate the rapporteur for his excellent report . 
it is for the institutions , for the member states , for us all , show up this challenge , also with regard to the fears of our own public opinion , and regain encouragement , the ambition and vision of the founding fathers of europe . 
unfortunately , i feel that this enlargement process despite the many and fine words and the applied openness and closure of many chapters , is not driven by the council with the necessary energy policy . 
many countries of the european afrontaron similar problems at some stage of development and can advise bulgaria to help them to overcome those with facing at the moment . 
democracy is not just a question of majorities but above all a codecision balanced minorities . 
the candidate countries must be considered by equally and its accession dependent on their own development . 
at the same time we must acknowledge the efforts made by countries such as lithuania , to compensate for the lost time . 
that is why , lies in our interest to extend our legal system and freedoms to romania and that is without doubt a argument in the debate with our public opinion . 
however , there is a subject on which there is great interest : enlargement . 
my group therefore support the periods of transition periods in the sector of the environment to a maximum of five years . 
mr president , it is essential that we give a positive impetus to enlargement . 
certainly the debate remains open as regards the order of the accession of these countries , because to check the progress of its internal reforms . 
i am pleased that the report is so positive and that slovenia has endeavoured to really huge by meet the criteria - which i have seen on several occasions as director of the delegation remain also present the commissioner . 
in my opinion , this proposal deserves to be examined . 
these forms of violence and trade in women should be condemned and combated already now with all the means both in the eu and in the candidate countries . 
finish with this occasion , i would like to share the thoughts and considerations of many of our fellow members that there is a need to examine , once and for all with attention , the issue of the limits of europe and , therefore , how much will extend , as well as the convenience of drafting a report on particular of the european parliament . 
the minutes of yesterday 's sitting have been distributed . 
thank you . 
it is time to time we say in this house that in a europe of citizens ' rights must be enshrined properly in the law of the union . 
i put to the vote the request for postponement of the committee on legal affairs and the internal market . 
we know that the undesirable substances that concern us almost never affect immediately , but that are harmful substances in the long term , substances of long life and acumulables , such as dioxins , aflatoxinas , and heavy metals , as cadmium , lead and mercury . 
we must not seek guilty . 
if we allow it ' dilute " products in this case , we require at least that this informed the services of control and to make public that the product has been diluted . in fact , should also like to explain and discuss publicly this problem . 
however , it must be clear that the crisis dioxin was the result of criminal acts that contravenían the existing rules . 
mr president , i would like to thank the speakers and the speakers i have just spoken . 
it is a pressing need . 
for example , the limit value for meal fish is different from that proposed for products of animal origin not marine . 
it is now time to end with a interpretation false principle of subsidiarity , which aims to increase every day as the tutelage of brussels on our nations . 
like the rapporteur , i believe that there are bases to all these things and to analyse the substances to which reference was made , but are not toxic for themselves , show increases in levels higher . 
unfortunately has lost much of the knowledge legacy , wisdom farmer in a industrial production in which animals have been reduced to be units of production and goods . 
the new regulations fusionarán , harmonised and simplify requirements in hygiene very complex and detailed that until now were esparcidos in numerous directives . 
according to my enquiries , the number of those who reporting on the exact content is relatively small . 
secondly , it is clear that in spite of everything will introduce a change which affects the farmers , who are the producers of raw materials used in animal feed . in future , they will see obliged to destroy a number considerably more items of raw materials . 
these compensation are necessary , although it is clear that the farmers themselves being esmeran as far as possible to garnatizar the health of their animals . 
amendment no 18 proposes explicitly to include water in the definition of animal feed . 
on the basis of these scientific evaluations of the elements of risk , the commission will propose to the member states appropriate measures to limit the presence of these substances in animal feed . 
having studied the amendments tabled for its approval in this plenary sitting , i thank the parliament 's support to the proposal . 
in general terms , therefore , the commission can accept 15 of the 27 amendments . 
i am fact that it is time not emerge from the theirs . 
the commission has undertaken to elaborarla and has also announced that it will not act in the evening to the tomorrow . 
the farmers simply need to hear with greater accuracy , also in figures percentage - at least when so soliciten- , everything that contain compound feed and in what proportion is present . 
graefe zu baringdorf , and also to mrs roth-behrendt for their reports and express my hope that the council will adopt a constructive position in relation to these issues and we can establish a common system of declaration more transparent for animal feed . 
all this , of course , due to the tragedy of bse , which has been a real folletín , with different episodes . 
we can not accept the use of harmful substances , harmful to health of people and animals . 
but let us start by what is good . 
the present proposal is the first of a number of initiatives based on the white paper on food safety . 
thank you , commissioner . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
report ( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by mr queiró , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , human rights , common security and defence policy , on the application for membership of hungary into the european union and on the development of negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ] 
report ( a5-0247 / 2000 ) by mrs nicholson of winterbourne , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , human rights , common security and defence policy , on the request for accession of romania to the european union and the development of negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 510 - c5-0033 / 2000 - 1997 / 2171 ( cos ) ] 
thirdly , perhaps the most difficult , that the council must adopt new measures institutional which allow the community function effectively , efficient and democratic after enlargement . 
although it is in agreement with the principles of article 13 is clear that the secondary legislation that the european union produces from he comes sometimes very far , and that there is no reason to deny the candidate countries the right differentiation cultural . 
in conclusion , repeat the fact that the enlargement process must be gradually , the pace of the adaptation of the candidate countries . 
in the current context and given the voices that have begun to be heard attacking the enlargement of the european union , it is important that this parliament to give a signal clear policy in favour of it . 
- ( fr ) since its creation , the european union has vocation to bring together the peoples . 
the criteria of the council of copenhagen 1993 on democratisation or the ability to compete strengthened , by way of ' acquis communautaire ' , the reign of a unbridled capitalism and destructive . 
under these conditions , a flight forward in the enlargement runs the risk of emphasising flows populist and fascistoides who demonstrate here and there . 
in the agenda of this sitting is precisely a report on equal opportunities between men and women , which has again to give a sign of how poor results is making the community acquis in practice precisely in this area . 
who could , in fact , denying the entry into the european home to the poland of copérnico and john paul ii , the hungary martyred in 1956 in budapest , or the capital-símbolo , prague , when democracies popular defenestraban head of state and aplastaban people jan palach , inmolado by freedom ? 
a europe bigger and more tasks precise new and more financial resources . 
i take this opportunity to welcome to the elderly and pensioners estonia hoping for attention to their ability to live within the european union . 
if latvia continues progressing and the european union adjusted its institutional structure and policies to be able to cope with enlargement , i see no reason why latvia should not be accepted in the union . 
if lithuania continue to work and the european union adjusted its institutional structure and policies to be able to cope with enlargement , i see no reason why lithuania should not be accepted in the union . 
in the field of environment , also have checked progress obvious , with the creation of ' fund national for the protection of the environment ' and with the implementation of the principle of ' contaminador-pagador " . 
by allowing the entry of poland in the common home , the union will do justice to the newly arrival : a justice that has been denied for too long . 
i look forward to early incorporation of the czech republic . 
- ( en ) i welcome the report queiró on the application for membership of hungary into the european union and share the majority of conclusions which comes the rapporteur . 
i await with interest that bulgaria join the union in future not too distant . 
poos report ( a5-0249 / 2000 ) 
this is a point of view fair and balanced that the council of ministers must take seriously into account . 
i hope it is true that the negotiations that have been kept under the auspices of nations together can have results , so that both communities , cyprus and greek , benefit together of the benefits of its entry into the eu within a republic reunited . 
- ( en ) i welcome with great satisfaction the report by mr poos on the request for accession of cyprus to the european union . 
however , we , consumers , we are in the last link in the food chain and therefore we are the receiving end of abuse and counterfeiting food . 
we are particularly concerned that , at european level and concrete form , food safety will from the dehesa until the table . 
it is precisely because we are in favour of the development of relations of cooperation , really fraternales and between partners really equals , between all the countries of the world , we have no intention , with our vote , masking a superchería . 
the council informed parliament before the vote in committee , but with a margin of time very small , ruling out with this deliberately any possibility of a debate additional me or with parliament . 
in my report i advocate greater representation and involvement of ngos , a greater duty of accountability to parliament , the drafting of an annual report to be discussed in parliament , the highest level possible transparency , the promotion of remember the last in the fight against prejudices and the recognition of the multiple discrimination . 
at the same time , we must take into account the legitimate interests of employees . 
in its quality of main responsible to resolve the problems of discrimination in the workplace , the social partners are in the position more favourable to propose solutions implementable . 
jenny was of collective ' access franco-german charter ' . it was the coordinator of the group and i invited the hearings on article 13 . 
práctica because directives and action programmes encourage the member states to combat discrimination based on the same premises and that the commission can fulfil its role as guardian of the treaties and also of pioneer in the social debate . 
if the present legal basis releases appropriations for new preparatory actions , their funding within that category could lead to a reduction of appropriations for other policies . 
ladies and gentlemen , we are faced with a proposal for a framework directive necessary but not enough , whose mechanisms we will have the opportunity perfecting a after a time of implementation . 
i hope that the commission to study carefully the legislation on discrimination on grounds of sex in the light of this new directive . 
i congratulate the commission and my colleagues who have produced the report . 
i am glad the recommendation of the mann report to organisations of an ideological the possibility of demand staff certain requirements for the performance of his office in connection with such nature . 
the speed with which the institutions have made use of the powers of amsterdam , commissioner , shows that the european union is still a pioneer in the equal opportunities , and i would like to thank very explicitly to the european commission . 
the presence of discrimination of very diverse order in our societies confirms the importance of the action programme which is the issue of the report by mr cashman . 
mr president , on behalf of the bonino list , i would like to express the consternation that we produces 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 of this ? 
secondly , although i recognise its importance , in my view is a problem that invite ngos to participate in the implementation of the programme , regardless of its size , its characteristics and their action . 
the group liberal and democratic has assessed all this , but in particular the work of parliament has wanted to insist , also and above all , in the prevention of phenomenon system and of good practice . 
it represents a challenge for us all because we all judge people for the first impression . 
mr president , fight and legislate against discrimination tantamount to recognise that there are and even that often they are " legalised ' because they are trivializadas . 
the first , the cnucyd , the conference of the united nations to trade and development , took place in 1963 in geneva the principle of inequalities compensatory , and therefore of discrimination . 
in fact , the information and awareness are of fundamental importance in this area , must serve as a catalyst for impress upon a new mentality , a new way of thinking and be to venzan radically these prejudice still widespread between people and to ensure the real equality of all citizens in terms of rights . 
therefore , it is important that progress with the two legislative initiatives , now we are discussing , although mejorándolas in some respects and increasing the sums provided for the financing of the programme and reflecting the political importance attached to this fight against discrimination . 
in particular , the agreement on the principle of adjustments reasonable , in which have been pioneers sweden and ireland , will ensure now that employers across europe adapted their places of work , acquire equipment special and altered its practical work so that employees disabled are really to a fair chance . 
article 13 is the starting point of a new objective of the eu : combat discrimination or the unequal treatment of citizens for the causes listed in the same . 
the second point i want to point out is unfortunately the serious mistake committed by the commission with this first package to prioritise between the grounds of discrimination . 
mr president , discrimination on grounds of religion is just as unacceptable as any other form of discrimination . 
as the secular convinced that i am not would know therefore accept it . 
however , the generous idea of recognise every citizen of the greatest possible freedom , provided that is compatible with an identical measure of freedom for the other , shocks , still today , with obstacles : one fact and other law . 
one of the directives has already been adopted in record time , and i very much hope that the other is adopted in november , during the french presidency . 
some not in line with other legal requirements , for example , the amendment relating to the provisions of the committees . 
however , i can accept amendment no 38 which proposes abolishing article 5 of the list of differences of treatment on grounds of age can be justified . 
parliament has addressed the important issue of the conformity of contracts . 
it is the first time that we allow joint projects in this action programme . 
it is clear that the more universal is the code , more effective . 
article 7 of the code obliges the member undertake to prevent exports that might get out of hand to end users undesirable . 
- ( it ) mr president , i confess i am nostalgia times that from the european parliament , as well as from the various movements pacifists and trade unions , incitaba to think and act towards a progressive reduction in the manufacture of weapons and we wondered how to make the production bélica in civilian production . 
in view of the situation in which are today the planet and our continent after the end of the cold war and the breaking of the balance 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 anarchy in many places in the world . 
the cfsp covers activities to combat the crisis outside the limits of the eu and not something that could be seen as policy common defence . 
van designed to prevent the export of arms to governments that commit violations of human rights , to areas of conflict or regions launched a career in the field of armaments . 
the commission , in close cooperation with the member states , participated actively in the formulation of the joint action of the european union on small arms and light weapons . 
in accordance with the agenda , the commission comes to make a statement on the sector of the european research . 
to introduce forms of intervention to more long term , middle between the support of projects and funding institutional , use the instruments with variable geometry offered by the treaty , and more specifically the participation of the union in national programmes as envisaged in article 169 of the treaty . 
what we want to strengthen , is nature of hierarchy , and this depends on the way of intervention . 
you say that believes in a shake-up total framework programme . 
i believe that today we need something that structured in the european area of research , that is something that goes beyond the framework programme which comes as supplement national programmes , we need a element estructurador , which means that we must accept formulae . 
thank you for your speech and his constructive spirit . regarding the views with the stoa , i believe that we must do something together , because that is something that concerns the house , centre common research , the institutes forward-looking present in several member states . 
it seems that the commission is making leaps and bounds towards the completion of the european area of research . 
there will be a chapter comprehensive on science , society and citizens . 
there have been contacts with the greek authorities , irish and portuguese to ask the government of these countries to speed up the presentation of the commission of their projects of the cohesion fund . 
perhaps the lack of service i mentioned just now - and that there was in the commission anterior- devoted exclusively fund cohesion allowed to have elements more concrete . 
my second question is as follows : regardless of the cohesion fund , there are the community framework of support , the structural funds , the regional programmes , etc. what which countries have received projects definitive and what programmes which countries have already approved ? 
in 1989 the commission presented a new proposal which should offer greater flexibility . 
bolkestein and , despite the fact that the general rule of the treaties prohibits that copper more companies foreign to the internal , should apply the legislation general on fair competition in europe in cases where taxation is totally disproportionate . we must examine the effect that may have in this situation the legislation on competition , despite the general rule that these matters are prerogative of the member states . 
if we want to retain the fuel , the way of doing so is through the tax , and not through other forms of taxation . 
i would say to mr purvis that natural disadvantages and regional matter probably falls to the national governments , as a part of their electorate is in these areas remote and peripheral regions . 
mr president , commissioner , thank you for information . 
the spring and summer past , the european commission made a general review of its activities and human resources . 
there are those who claim . 
these children are used more and more by tourists and men business that mostly come from europe . 
the commission is convinced that all companies can be prepared in time for the final step to the euro , including the adaptation of their systems and software . 
the debate político-filosófico already is not in the agenda , but in general we can see the dangers of a referendum , but perhaps in another context . 
the same applies to the alce . 
recently there has sent a reminder about the french authorities . 
in connection with the candidate countries , i can tell you that have been held meetings with them in connection with this issue of animal transport and have reached agreements preliminary . 
however , in the season sows the last spring the commission was informed that had been interceptado seeds imported from traditional varieties of different species , including cotton , containing traces of seeds genetically modified . 
however , after consulting its services , i am in a position to inform you that a directive on electrical goods , the directive on the limits of tension electricity , as well as the directive on team of radio and terminals telecommunications , prescribe essential requirements in terms of security of computer equipment for private use or in the workplace . 
do the with me , however , that in this case the distinction between security in the workplace , in a class school or to a child to do their homework in house is a false distinction ? 
perhaps more effective hand of president khatami . 
today aung san suu kyi is once again be subject fact to arrest domiciliaria . 
so i am reluctant to go further in terms of trade or to advise further measures in the field of trade or investment . 
question no 15 by ( h-0769 / 00 ) : 
my informers spoke to some of the meetings electoral , for example , who had experienced . 
the questions 16 to 44 will be replied to in writing . 
what we would like is a european report consolidated was published and subject to examination of this parliament . 
we should focus on move did not produce weapons instead of thinking in the way of compete with other countries manufacturers of weapons of throughout the world . 
the five permanent members of the council security , which supposedly safeguard our security , should pay particular attention to these proposals and negotiate as soon as possible a settlement really worthy of the twenty-first century . 
the debate today is an important step in the reform process that began the prodi commission is doing something more than a year . 
i can not avoid feel that in its race for producing a proposal within the limit of time established by the white paper of reform , the commission not atendió appropriately to the details . 
i therefore propose that both the financial controller and the internal auditor must produce annual reports detallando their activities . 
the report van hulten exacerbated , rightly , the differentiation of the commission advocates and gives a good impetus for the exchange of best practices between the institutions . 
we hope that this does not happen again ! 
if we determine something for the institutions large , must be applied to all the hierarchy of this independence that the committee of wise men has outlined . 
in the past , we have noted with great often that the excessive delay the processes of decision meant creating frustration between complainants and a loss of confidence in the european institutions . 
i must say to the commissioner that this report is not only an intermediate step . and a intermediate step means that is the first step of building a bridge between the system we have now control and the system that want to achieve after the reform . 
this is the content of the proposal put forward . 
only when it will introduce the sampling , selection , that monitors often . 
consequently , beyond mere words , we are aware that the task is not for nothing easy . 
of course , i think that neither the political and technical can we tackle any way the problem we alone . 
the majority of children and adolescents is growing , however , fortunately , in a way that does not present any of these characteristics problematic . 
i fully agree with the president of the commission on the need to draw up this catalogue similar to a constitution and in my opinion , it is clear that must be strengthened the principle of subsidiarity and that the eu must therefore refrain from making policy in the long list of areas where the policy approaches are not cross-border . 
information from around the world and of all areas of knowledge comes at very short time to our houses and communication through the whole planet is for them experience daily . 
detenidos very little time afterwards , declared themselves policemen : " is curious , in the series of television , not leave catch so easily " . 
the legislators - and with conclude , mr president - not can solve everything , but must sometimes remember the rights and duties of each one . 
i am also very sensitive to the comments that have been made on education , training for learn to read images , on the awareness of the young generations to take a closer criticism of the medium-sized and not eat anything , at any time and in any way . 
nothing will do more damage to the views that are forming the fact that a report like this is not progress or does not make it possible greater mobility or did not begin , at least , to break down barriers to the facing today mobility educational . 
the outstanding problems of solution in the various member states are of different nature : for example , different rules in the field of social security , grants , right of residence , taxation and the lack of mutual recognition of qualifications and stages . 
it is high time that europe devote again attention to the correct implementation of programmes such as the socrates and youth for europe . 
the experience on the mobility of students and teachers shows that the real difficulties the free movement is not are both in authorities of the education , but rather in the areas of action of the authorities of the social security , finance and immigration . 
it has been mentioned as an example of this the socrates programme . 
it must be a inspection clear , control clear , even by sampling , and , above all , a ombudsman , a website , where the pupils can collect their complaints . 
that is why we ask it to include the category of researchers in the field of application of the recommendations . 
it is easy to do in a speech , but not so much in practice . 
the debate is closed . 
we appreciate its action , similar to that of president chirac or minister joska fischer . 
the union must speak with a single voice in foreign policy and reflect a capacity of defence and security policy . 
we need a forum of decision-making to issues instrumental to both sides as the migration flows , the transfer of the factors of production , the energy supply . 
the proposal for a resolution on the reports of the commission , on which you will speak later , is in some detail . 
this is clearly in the report prepared by the finnish presidency on women and decision-making . the indicators that has produced enable assess the progress made . 
apart from that conference of ministers and the symposium on equal professional , two texts very important , specifically dedicated to equality , but corresponding to the council on employment and social affairs , are worthy of mention . 
the second concerns the principle of non-discrimination , including the based on sex . 
with regard to the reports , i must say incidentally - madam president of the council also addressed the cuestión- that one of the major problems in the eu are of course the great cultural differences . 
the reports presented here are a good example of this . 
we must ensure that the directive on equal opportunities really is part of the regulation . 
i believe that this method , adopted in first place by finland , is viable in many sectors and , as part of the strategy of equal opportunities of the commission , we can expect much of it . 
on behalf of the equal opportunities , the french women have acquired , thanks to europe , the right to work at night . 
as a french citizen , this vision of the world i find it particularly foreign . 
despite these comments , vote in favour of this report , therefore , of course , are in favour of equal opportunities , but it is above all respect for everyone . 
the fact that quite to mothers freedom of educate their children without remuneration , it will go down the bill later in the form of crime youth and vandalism . 
in this context i would remind you of our report on the division of the derived rights pension in the event of divorce thanks to which pensions survival and the age of retirement were incorporated by end to the directive 1979 . 
the polish women we were very grateful for having made it clear that the representative present there not conveyed the attitude of polish women . 
a greater participation of women at all levels of government and in all areas of life is essential to give greater depth to democracy and achieve and maintain peace . 
in conclusion , i would like to refer to the situation of women in the candidate countries for accession to the european union . 
the council , especially men making it up , have in this area the important task of leading to europe in the fight against mafias exploitation of women . this trade slave is not something that the responsible politicians can escape , shirk or ignore . 
in the reports and speeches that today we are analysing we can deduce , as we already knew many of us , that the problem of equal opportunities is a problem of structural and that , to deal with , are necessary global strategies , because women are not a category or a social group homogenous nor any collective . 
it is true that i was a little sad to see that maria of belém roseira no longer were discussing this post . 
two members have mentioned new social rights , new rights tax . 
thirdly , because they are the basis strategic not only for the european union - even have at our disposal a picture of the situation in the charter of human rights has played an important role - but also at national level , as can the member states through the benchmarking determine national targets . 
that concludes the joint debate . 
these amendments must entenderlas in the new context of the interinstitutional agreement and , therefore , parliament can compromise with not insist on these amendments comitology given that have been overcome in any way by the new interinstitutional framework . 
however , i , personally , i still think that the text adopted in its day by parliament responded much better to the new realities resulting from the internal market and the liberalisation of markets , insofar elements of clarification and control which loaded amendments not accepted initiating a greater guarantee of that legislation would be met and that were going to continue the same procedures in its implementation . 
if we want the third countries to accept the commitments , the european community must be the first celosa in ensure compliance with its own rules , because if a country has the possibility of putting in the community products by means of smuggling and for what will disturb in negotiate with us any kind of granting ? 
furthermore , the parliament 's amendment on customs formalities through declarations computer , accepted by the council , will the customs administrations of the member states to equipen with the means computer control more modern . 
but now is too late because you have just take the vote and the members have voted in favour . 
vote ( 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 ) 302 - c5-0106 / 1999 ) ( com ( 1999 ) 106 - c5-0289 / 2000 ) ( com ( 2000 ) 123 - c5-0290 / 2000 - 1999 / 2109 ( cos ) ] committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities . rapporteur : dybkjær . 
it is not the first time that i am speaking on the mobility of students and of the body of teachers . 
this report is all the more important as that produced in a critical time for the european union : the enlargement . 
the discrimination not fight creating jobs additional administrative but changing the mentality of people . 
i voted against the report mann , because , although it is necessary , indeed , try to achieve the equal treatment of people in employment and labour , would not have to zeal to the point of abandon all protection of freedoms and respect the rule of law . 
as secular convinced that i am , i have not been able to endorse it . 
the pne welcomes this directive and its aim of ending discrimination in the workplace . 
if we want to draw up a directive plausible and viable cannot cargarla of florituras and illusions , because that is not what is expected of a legislative text . 
however , the eplp has serious reservations on the following areas . 
there are also elements which , in our opinion , should be left to the discretion of the member states , such as the aplicaión general , the provision of training workers of certain groups of age , the nature of the system of mediation and the way in which the smes to interpret the directive . 
van hulten quite rightly points in this interview that we can only begin with a positive agenda when have been resolved problems as fraud , waste and the lack of efficiency and effectiveness in the process of decision-making . 
the reason for my vote to this report relates , in essence , with the issue of relations closer between the european union and nato and also with the moves towards a policy of common defence . 
in the report understands the export of arms in europe as a way of resolving conflicts in the territories closest . 
however , do not accept that demands a policy of common defence and security policy and european defence within the framework of the nato . 
children are the first victims of violence on television . 
i am pleased that we have done this study . 
at community level will be a committee of experts with the mandate to draw up a memorandum that sets the general principles for the protection of minors against the means . 
dybkjær report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) 
it is particularly interesting that , for the first time , it is clear the need to assess the effectiveness of the political initiatives with the annual reports of the commission . 
peru 
mr president , in the peru live currently moments of uncertainty and all alimentamos the hope that the current situation resolved through a process , ensure all civil rights and political , which will serve to strengthen and the consolidation of democracy and peace in peru , a country that has suffered 25 000 deaths in the last fifteen years . 
the word in question is the word ' democracy ' . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the conditions in which were held elections peruvian in the past month of may were 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 . 
that is why i think it is also positive that the resolution includes several points clear and unequivocal specifically relating to the situation of women and to draw attention to how necessary it is that we try to help prevent the taliban regime to continue with its total discrimination against women . 
in the eu awaits an important task . 
we can occur recognition by any member state while persists policy of violation of human rights , in particular the discrimination systematic towards women . 
and this that we must take into account from the european institutions and also that cultivation of drugs used to buy arms . 
however , will give its full support to the neighbouring countries to help them to improve their resources to combat this evil . 
i think that is a good time to remember the need for the european union begin to devise a policy of comprehensive nature with regard to latin america , possibly , could prevent these countries crossing periodically situations of crisis such as those that have occurred in some of them . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , both the commission and parliament we can only with great satisfaction the release of jesuit spanish , mr alejandro matos castro , occurred last week . 
b5-0782 / 2000 by mr haarder , on behalf of the group of the party of european liberal , democrat and reform party , on macedonia : law on higher education and universities ; 
for that reason , all we are delighted greatly that the problem of higher education finally seems to work towards a solution really positive . 
this is , i am concerned , a good example to all the countries neighbours that not only can sow hatred through education , as happens now so often , but that education can also serve as cradle for coexistence multi-étnica peaceful . 
i also would have preferred that had been found a solution that mereciera the 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 in cooperation with the high commissioner , mr van der stoel , concerns . 
we are today debating in this house only to express our regret . we are debating mainly on what has happened , for what has happened and how we are to remedy the situation , how we can help now , the commission and the european parliament , so that such events will not be repeated in the future . 
in any case , mr president , we agree with this proposal for a joint resolution , which we support as it is now , as a matter of urgency , and of course , based on what i mentioned earlier , we are not in agreement with the amendments that have been tabled as urgent . 
with regard to the amendment on the working conditions , there is a directive on this subject ; the other hand the wording of the amendment is not as satisfactory as the text . 
quite simply , this is not acceptable for the islands northern and eastern scottish and nor is the potential route from the sea northern until the european continent , which i hope will be established in the future not too distant . 
i am pleased that the greek government has suspended this exemption in the meantime . 
for that reason , the commission contacted the greek government immediately sinking of samina express , requesting information about the application of community law in force . 
therefore , i would like to make the following question , and would appreciate ask it to the presidency . i wonder if besides the abolition of friday , some have started to do away with the thursday . 
i would like to say that , on the part of the european union , are in place mechanisms so that in the popular will of the serbian people is respected , that is , at the time that we have a government sustained by the people who have voted in the ballot box by mr kostunica , we can have : first , a immediate lifting of sanctions and , secondly , a package of economic aid that can help the serbian people to re-establish its economy . 
perhaps decide at the moment in the streets of belgrade if the democratic change begins now and if it can be carried out without violence . 
we condemn all the actions that can be seen as provocations , especially in regard to saints places of jerusalem . 
and we must tenderle hand in a very symbolic - as mr solana with this meeting in zagreb . 
the most shocking is the fact that the police and the israeli army have used bullets of fragmentation , bullets that when they reach the body burst in tens of shreds and that are banned internationally , even in fights between soldiers , and that we now have been used against citizens . 
i believe that europe can do a lot and must do much in this respect with transparency and decision . 
consequently , we must do everything that is in our power to stop this fire as soon as possible . 
they must prevent the provocations such as the action of ariel sharon . 
today has done the same , and is to prevent and has prevented europe , in all these years , play a part of mediation in the middle east , leaving this role to united states . 
we sacrificaremos the serbian population on behalf of our objectives elevated and moral , because this could mean the death of thousands of people in serbia and yugoslavia . 
madam president , as a last point i would suggest that , as soon as possible and that there is a new government yugoslav , send a delegation from parliament to plan , together with the new government and yugoslavia , the reconstruction of a new serbia . 
madam president , ladies and gentlemen , it is clear that today we are experiencing probably a historic day in this parliament , the day that may puts an end to one of the recent pillars of a dictatorship totalitarian in europe . 
mr president , poses a problem because in the dossier german for matters of urgency - i do not know if the same thing happens in the other versions lingüísticas- only accepted the amendments of the gue group . it lacks the motions for resolutions and the joint text . 
mr president , i should just like to draw the attention of members on the pile of documents that have brought this week to vote . 
if parliament could table amendments to the decision of the council , certainly like to remind you social problems and unemployment croatia derived from the diet imposed this country , but in these circumstances there is no legal basis for such amendments . 
this is the opportunity to claim the same objectives as regards the activity of the eib . 
mr president , yesterday afternoon , we talk 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 colleagues and , in particular to the council , so that during the negotiations of the budget next year and of later years adhere as closely as possible to the commission 's proposal that , in my opinion , has made better evaluation of the total costs in croatia and also in other areas of the balkans . 
in 1990 held democratic elections , which were considered internationally as free and fair . 
so yes , this economic aid yes , this guarantee , but also a strong request the commission to support fully to this country profoundly european , now already governed democratically in accordance with the rule of law , and to put it in the list of candidates for accession , because i believe that croatia has earned our full support . 
like the rapporteur , i wonder if in practice will be available money for this purpose , above all , bearing in mind that , in short , we will establish a broad flow monetary towards serbia and that the union 's budget will not increase . 
i also delegations of croatia and of our parliament asked the council to be extended to the mandate of the eib . 
i hope that start as soon as possible contacts and , like to croatia , grant aid also the serbian people that deserves all our respect . 
( the minutes were approved ) 
therefore , it is with this in mind that invite women of the european parliament to participate in this delegation : tuesday and wednesday there will be a list and recogeremos signatures and accessions to the delegation , precisely in the spirit of establish between women bridges peace where the other hand , there is violence . 
in short , there has been more suffering for basque and spanish ; indeed , spanish and basques are tired of the current conflict . 
madam president , as you will recall , at the last part-session , evoqué the difficult situation of defender of democracy british , james mawdsley , who had been illegally detained by the burmese authorities . 
madam president , in my case is really a question on the rules of procedure . 
in fact , this report apparently technical , which does not seem bringing big changes of political order is extremely important in the extent that , through the back door , introduces the possibility of applying genetic engineering to a viticulture genetically modified . 
if we do not agree to the report , emerge postponements . 
the council of state - as you have said - has rejected this resource and we have been informed in due form this desestimación . 
however , now the case repeated and affects a colleague who , although it is ppe , does not belong to my political field in italy . 
that is why aboguemos by the introduction of a scoreboard social , as has also been made to the internal market , with clear measures , with deadlines maximum and limits of time . 
madam minister , i hope that the council inspire in expectations of parliament and i hope that in the nice summit will be translated into a social agenda european few ambitious objectives with which we can continue to work together in the years ahead . 
as a result of the council informal ' employment and social policy ' on 8 july in paris , the presidency has asked all the players involved - the european parliament , of course , committee on economic and social regions social partners , ngos , groups and committees of the council - that you can communicate its proposals . 
oponer quantitative what qualitative is a false debate and lisbon clearly established a dual objective : more jobs and better quality . 
we need to promote mobility and at the same time ensuring the safety of tracks professionals . 
we must try to make an inventory of gaps remaining in the system and , in any case , to put them on the agenda . 
the open coordination is , in our opinion , the way to go down if we are to ensure a social europe . 
the implementation of the pretensions of social pregonadas in lisbon requires an effort community , a plan of action for the creation of jobs in services , in particular those associated with the information society . 
clearly the cooperation of the commission is important , but the social problems have grassroots support local and manejarlos respecting the specific circumstances . 
what social acted as a factor of correction of the effects more harmful of economic policies . 
the original proposal of the commission was much better without changes ; congratulations commissioner . 
anna diamantopoulou , for his excellent document . it is a agenda presumption and i can remember even with the difficulties which we are moving in the field of social protection in the last parliamentary term . 
i believe that will be very positive also to help reconcile family life and professional of women . 
i sometimes have the impression that with the concept of modernisation understands often the undermining of social protection . 
what are the basic points of the text ? 
it is still difficult to determine european objectives that have the same force for all the member states , because the reality is different for each one . 
the committee has tabled 49 amendments . 
perhaps that involves only to parliament and the commission , but , commissioner . 
another point is the increase in support of the community to judge the need for additional initiatives , including , if necessary , the transposition of legislation , equality and the fight against discrimination . 
in the past have not lacked the good ideas or good plans aimed at achieving equality , but often has failed in its implementation . 
it is normal that the voice of women is acaparada by a handful of professionals in the claim of living of the injection of public money . 
the equality of women and men in the civil life , to enable women full enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms . 
i hope that , finally , players men entronquen also here and combat the roles of gender and stereotypes trasnochados . 
i believe that now we must thank him for having followed the debate , which was not foreseen presence during this debate . 
common competition 
we must provides our companies the best conditions so that they can plan their production and above all its future . 
the consumer must have access to a wide range of products of high quality and at competitive prices , and ultimately it is right to move forward with the single market and , along with it , with free competition , because benefit all our citizens . 
it is the decision of subsidise or the decision not to subsidise , in the field of coal . 
the point 16 of the report riis-jørgensen speaks of greater legal security in the processing of applications fusion and shorter deadlines and effective appeals before the courts . 
in all cases is public companies that must not force financial a impeccable corporate governance , but to the past and present positions monopoly . 
we need a introduction more of the citizen in the information on competition policy , so that this advise the advantages . 
these are issues of great significance to the regional economy and for employment , and i hope that , in the future , this is made clear to these subsidies , subsidies domestic affecting the development and the regional economy and whose factor exemplary is precisely the transport , can continue to be granted . 
this communication contains three messages wise . 
evans for his excellent report on the rules on state aid to the steel industry and on the eighth annual report on state aid in the european union . 
i would like , therefore , assure mr palacio and karas , as well as other members who have spoken on these points , that the regulation has in mind their concerns . 
otherwise we shall be doing a disservice to competition and to consumers . 
the debate is closed . 
the mechanism of funding implements article 119 of the treaty of the european union which is still in force during the third stage of economic and monetary union only to the member states that do not participate in the single currency . 
mr president , commissioner , honourable gentlemen and gentlemen , i would like to thank because today we can discuss the proposal for a council directive amending directive 68 / 193 / eec on the trade with materials vegetative propagation of the vine and i hope also a vote positive tomorrow . 
some of them launched , on 5 july , the so-called of beaune , where expressed its concern about the introduction of gmos in the profession . 
the rules which provide for are also favour the production of material vegetable diversified and which offers the best health guarantees , which is essential , for accompany effectively the restructuring of vineyards community , key point of the new com in wine and wine-growing . 
we must say loud and clear , was not necessary overloading the articles of this directive with references to the directive 90 / 220 in the process of review less wanting to promote to force the genetic manipulation of the vine . 
i am pleased to inform you that we can accept also amendments nos 35 to 40 tabled by mr graefe zu baringdorf , designed to strengthen the transposition of the requirements of safety and management under the directive 90 / 220 . 
i would simply like to note that has not been asked parliament to give its opinion as such . 
madam president , with regard to paragraph 14 of our minutes on the request for waiver of parliamentary immunity of mr pacheco pereira . 
i will be more precise about the qualified majority . 
on the weighting of votes , still also on the table two options are well known : weighting simple for which confirms a slight , very slight , majority , or double majority , but with formulae different , double simple majority or reponderada or a form of ' mesh demographic " . 
moreover , without prejudice to an assessment of needs and the coordination of the assistance of economic and financial the federal republic yugoslav , that encomendarán together the european commission and the world bank , the european council in biarritz decided to grant to the federal republic yugoslav a first humanitarian aid urgent 200 million euros . 
but , look , ladies and gentlemen , if he had to say spontaneous and very sincerely my impression , would read : whatever it may sensitivity of these issues -composición of the commission and system of votación- , there will be based on that to gauge the failure or the success of nice . 
another positive aspect was also the adoption of the charter of fundamental rights by the heads of state and government . however , mr president of the council , i must remind you at the same time why this was possible . 
we have kill of platitude the spirit of nice and , therefore , there is a fundamental priority in the 50 days remaining : increase the negotiation at political level . 
in this respect i would like also to address my colleagues in the europe people 's party - and i would ask you to mr poettering that i escuche- because what we defend in this house we must defend outside . 
as we know of the action of the prime ministers and presidents in biarritz on more peliagudas issues of the reform of the treaty , the charter probably will be the greatest trofeo in nice . 
lanzando a great consultation populations , the national parliaments , which will allow us to achieve a letter based of truth in needs , the council would be truly in line with the aspirations of european citizens . 
therefore , we must call upon everyone to return to the origins of our union , have the courage which took giscard d ' estaing and mr schmitt , deciding the election by universal suffrage of the european parliament in 1976 and in 1979 and decide that in 2009 we will finally a president of the european union , president of the commission . 
in this respect , i would like to respond to what mr poettering on the division between the countries large and small . 
again i refer in a few words to the issues of trade policy foreign , because it is a matter entirely seriously . 
it is , however , something precious that has been emphasised all the members of the european council . 
a second something very positive has been the adoption of the charter in its entirety . 
apart from that , i think that on this crucial issue for the future of the european union and its decision , biarritz achieved some so many and not we can only welcome . 
i hope that we can still convince , move forward , to achieve positive results in nice . 
i quote two examples : the one hand , proceed to the right to work at the right to work and , on the other , several social rights included in the social charter revised by the council of europe do not appear in the charter . 
in the discussions that have been taking place throughout europe , including biarritz , it is clear that the member states elderly are trying in part terrorise the member states minors to reform the european union in line with the approach followed by the first and with their wishes . 
the dissatisfied with the two extremes are proof to the negotiators of advancing towards a fair balance . 
the leadership of the european union has not clearly formulated a vision . 
a commission based on criteria of representation of each member state reveals a vision short-sighted . 
a union of this kind would centralist and give the small states of the european less power , that the system bicameral us attaches to the small states americans . 
after the summit sharm-el-sheikh which were present all the parties involved to find a way to put an end to violence and resume the dialogue between barak and arafat , we have seen how difficult it is to stop the fighting , even when there was a moment that seemed to be achieved . 
obviously , some poor informers makes him to say to mr barón things that are not certain to italy and my party . 
it is important that the introduction of the european tax on consumption of energy , which has until now been blocked by the applying the principle of unanimity , progress . 
we should not allow the member states ' emerges fear that we can move towards solutions coming to a executives . 
in my opinion , the convention has done an excellent job and i am proud of having been a member of the same . 
in this last case , the issue will be of what time work this principle of the rotation strictly equal between large and small . 
the enlargement to matters of truth of the vote by qualified majority , together with the codecision procedure , the preservation of article 250 , in its wording is present , the place and the role of the commission in closer cooperation and not only on the first pillar : those are some of the elements that will enable us to judge the moment if there is , after all , success or failure . 
- ( fr ) mr president , thank you first of all jacques , jacques delors , thanks to altiero spinelli and fernand herman , thanks to all , from vaclav havel until carlo ciampi , since joschka fischer until jacques chirac , since michel barnier until pierre moscovici , from chris patten until costa simitis , including florence , and the multitude of current members of the european parliament has taken up , from 1999 , the great movement in favour of a european constitution . 
it is not because we want to criticise in excess of the europe trader , and it is a socialist which says : has given us greater wealth to all . 
let us agree at least on this objective , and because we do , say how achieve it . 
i have had , mr president , the pleased to note that the proposals tabled recently to the intergovernmental conference agree substantially with all or part of the criteria that i have outlined . 
- ( fr ) mr president , commissioner , rapporteurs , ladies and gentlemen , wanted you hold , this morning , a debate on the issues in which parliament has considered it necessary to complete the opinion on the intergovernmental conference that was expressed last month of april . 
thus , respecting the constitutional framework exists , i think difficult - i warn you - to provide more than a procedure consultative opinion of parliament at the time of the start . 
you know very well , this means that we make certain political elections , a scope rather more comprehensive than the regulation of the three requirements indicated earlier . 
i myself have stressed that the formula adopted for the charter was a path to explore . 
but i grasped perfectly well that beyond the language , your question hides another concern . 
that is also why i wanted to thank you , in the fund and in the way , the initiative you have taken . 
the implementation of closer cooperation should not lead to the creation of new bodies that viniesen to join the union 's institutions . 
it is time to review the treaties . 
the european council offends against this european consensus basic with its refusal to integrate into the treaties the european charter of fundamental rights , give a legal value binding and to give the citizens whose rights being injured the possibility of recourse to the court of justice . 
otherwise , i believe that will not be possible to achieve a europe of citizens . 
regarding paragraph 8 : the constitution will - and i quote - ' issues that have been open ' . 
until the moment nobody has managed to explain what has changed in the meantime . 
secondly , on a agenda inadequate , which has been left out issues particularly relevant for the future of the union and the interest of citizenship . 
mr minister , says that on the eve of the revolution bolshevik -acontecimiento that would have such serious consequences throughout the world - the orthodox church russian was middle on complex discussions on the design of the bush corresponding to the cuaresma . 
therefore , cooperation must offer all the guarantees that proposed by the rapporteur , open to all , respecting the spirit of the treaties and without objecting to the acquis communautaire . 
however , there is an aspect that i would like to underline : i do not think it right to require or progress towards the demand for a referendum compulsory in all member states to adopt the amendments proposed . 
gil robles for his work . we held a debate in depth on two issues which , being different , are at one point . 
we are prepared to ensure that the vote during the session of november , thereby allowing adopted during the french presidency . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
what means ' the introduction of the possibility of access to retirement gradually , through the work part-time ' , but a threat to the age of retirement , despite all already excessively high in many countries ? 
we know that both the pensioners and the children they like the mermeladas . 
i asked the pensioners that i have sent here to the european parliament with the party of pensionistas if they would like drink wine genetically manipulated . 
or even , exceptionally , have material vegetative propagation of standard when other categories can meet the needs . 
consequently , mr president , i wonder : is it variations of labour costs are not for these reasons restriction to free competition in the european union ? 
thus , the vote could only be , as has been , against . 
despite the progress towards greater deregulation in the european union , state aid can continue to play a constructive role to achieve economic progress and social . 
in order to protect the environment , public services and to ensure equal income of the inhabitants of the regions economically weaker , this aid can be essential . 
we signalled the danger that also situated at the heart of the european union aid to little avail after consolidate the control of the european union in the important state aid , with the excuse of competition in small and medium-sized enterprises . 
section vi , committee on economic and social committee 
an examination of the timetable for implementation of headings 2 , 3 and 4 and 7 of the budget allows note that only an average of 8 % of all the commitments are covered by payments . 
three years ago got under way our initiative in favour of employment with the support for the access of small and medium-sized enterprises capital risk . 
the parliament intends to do so in two ways . 
the european institutions only have been fulfilled its task if this is achieved . 
in this context , i would like to thank the vice-president responsible for the budgetary matters , mr gerhard schmid , for his constructive cooperation . 
we want this committee maintain its ability to work , but we must not allow the institution that less attention paid to the orders of the european parliament as part of the budgetary authority . 
it is to say that the year 2001 will be the last budget exercise complete and in this context , we must assess the commission 's proposal and that now we are presenting to parliament . 
we also call for a review of the administrative expenditure . 
since 1985 -digo well 85- 's committee on budgets parliament has been endeavouring to ensure that the procedures of the european parliament take account of the financial impact of the resolutions that voting in plenary . 
and i , mr president , by thanking the diligence of the other institutions in the handling of this joint declaration . 
now they are asked to speak on a budget that was amended at first reading by the council . 
on the subject of internal policies , the council left a margin prudent , in heading 3 , more important than the proposed by the commission . 
i would like to conclude , not to be given to the financial perspective the symbolic value that do not have . 
an examination of the three sets of figures allows appreciate that there are still considerable differences , also purely quantitative , as well as , of course , in terms of content . 
i must remind you that last year , after a long debate , reached a new decision on comitology by common agreement with the council , and i have little hope that it is possible to reopen the debate . 
in the financial perspectives approved in berlin for the period until 2006 foresaw 8.100 million euros for the meda programme . 
solana . that is why i would ask you to both the council and the committee on budgets of parliament who think in foreign policy and not only in the budget when dealing with the foreign policy . 
the second relates to the aid must be provided for the victims of violations of human rights which require treatments in specialized agencies . 
if the term that still remains to be manage to reach a compromise solution that will support the important work of the committee on economic and monetary affairs , we can reach an agreement ; otherwise , we will keep our position . 
we need only look at our televisions and see the current difficulties in the middle east to remember every day . 
so i hope that in the vote tomorrow will still manage to achieve the necessary majority in favour of the centre of dublin . 
mr president , i would like to make some comments , starting with the rural policy , from the perspective of the committee on agriculture . 
we have asked to approve a credit indicative of two million euros for an information campaign on the cfp . 
the commission executive must negotiate with arguments of weight to achieve a reasonable agreement with morocco and the council and the governments involved theirs to promote politically this negotiation . 
today we are considering the budget 2001 with the image of the people of serbia in our retinas . 
overall , we would also like push them through these amendments . 
one important way in which european citizens can ensure that tackle their concerns is the recourse to the ombudsman or to petitions to parliament . 
i turn first budget of parliament . 
to surprise of many of the members of my delegation , at the beginning of september listed unanimously a basic strategy and the 400 amendments introduced by some of my colleagues we were in a way as a surprise to many of the members of the committee on budgets . 
it is difficult to think that the increase in posts will solve the problem of management , if there are still procedures antiquated and complex in the council and commission to deal with the many existing problems . 
this house has repeatedly demonstrated in recent years has based its work on the principle of a rigorous austerity . 
it is not acceptable that for years speak despreocupadamente of commitments and always promise comply with them , but when it comes the time of pay , then say that are excessive and must recortarlos a little . 
consignamos only a few million - can be much more - and in that time we cause them promises suculentas , and then , when really need it , we return to withdraw them . 
the 2001 budget , as has already happened with the last year , has had to face with conflicts practically insoluble between pressure in favour of the consolidation and austerity , as was decided in the framework of the interinstitutional agreement in order to ensure the financing of enlargement , the one hand and , on the other hand , the urgent need to finance the stability pact for the balkans . 
the demands of a more performance also require more staff . 
the adoption of this amendment , in its initial version , there would be able to start to change the implementation , but a majority of the committee on budgets rejected this idea . in this way , the european parliament is preparing , saying what you say , to accept implicitly the position of the council . 
and in this case , the examples are , unfortunately , many : treatment privileged partnerships with the federalist or to the many ngos with a role , philosophy and a functioning of the most controversial , the financing of european political parties , via the amounts engullidas in the prince programme , to try to persuade the citizens of the member states of what well-founded of the euro at a time when the single european currency experiencing a loss of confidence in largely shared by europeans , from our friends danish until the leaders of the european central bank . 
finally , mr heaton-harris has shown correctly with their amendments too simple of many european programmes which offers the citizen a history propaganda on european integration and which are , attention , funded by the citizen . 
furthermore , we must also modernise our administrative systems and we must continue , also a good example . 
the meda programme , devoted to the mediterranean basin , geographical area of greater strategic importance , is a good example of lack of capacity for implementation . 
when we talk about make reductions or find the funds in category 4 to finance certain priorities , we must not forget that parliament has its priorities . what we expressed clearly in the vote in committee . 
so we must clarify this figure . 
thank you , mr wynn . 
it wants to simply say that there are real elements of flexibility to make progress in this or that policy , even when any not can or does not wish to do so , and that applies to the union countries also applies to the candidate countries . 
i think that austria can not complain about what has happened , quite the opposite . 
the recommendations of the regional organisations , as well as the experience of neighbouring countries will certainly contribute to the definition of these resources . 
in the year 1984 , the 0.2 % of owners in colombia possessed the 32 % of the 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 start a debate on issues that are , once again , extremely complex . 
question no 10 by ( h-0722 / 00 ) : 
therefore , i i will ensure give a definitive answer to this difficult issue . 
quite simply , we have it sentiment , and your answer shows a little , that the presidency of the council not shows very determined to deal with this issue . 
therefore , the income tax is obviously not be void . 
i would also apologize , but we are going to apply the rules of procedure . 
however , i would like to ask you if i understand that the french presidency has no intention of proposing new measures for the adoption of tobin tax , or whether i interpret that is not at all a question of political will , but simply that you too , who are sitting in the left of this chamber , have reached the conclusion that it is impossible . the introduction of the tobin tax at world level is impossible . 
furthermore , pending the adoption of this directive on the prevention of spongiform encephalopathies , was taken , in june 2000 the decision to withdraw materials submit risks on these diseases , to stop any further progress of the epidemic and to ensure consumer level as high as possible of health protection . 
i have no other elements that i have just inform you . 
we are still and well acquainted with the work of the commission and the council on the erika package 1 . but , with regard to this step , which is known of both countries and known within the framework of the european union , which is a step particularly difficult , for which run trains on them large ships to win only a few hours , with the risk of that old cascarones come encallar and lead to a disaster , i would have liked to know , and above all the inhabitants of corsica and sardinia , they would have liked to know whether it will be possible and if provides for ban purely and simply the step of the straits of bonifcacio these large ships , these major containers . 
therefore , i think we should support , in principle , the commission 's proposals to amend the staff policy . 
the budget needs new funds in cash for serbia and kosovo . 
i hope , mr president , before i end with this , which will be cut despite all the lines of the budget in 50 million euros to finance the agreement of peace between israel and the plo . 
that is why , from the european parliament propose new measures , not directed both to seek new funding - which already know that in the present circumstances , it will not be able to ejecutar- but to set new interinstitutional commitments to improve the quality of expenditure and ensure that not to lose a euro . 
just think in european policy , as in any other field , sometimes options moderate cease to be majority voting . 
it is designed to obscure instead of clarifying and i was disappointed with the attitude adopted today on the budgeting according activities . 
however , the expenditure being distributed according activities , there is also a greater extent how the budget is seen as a political instrument where the distribution of expenditure reflects clear political priorities . 
and we find a solution multiannual , so that for next year and next year again do not have that pass through this discussion on how to find money for the reconstruction of the balkans . 
those interested in the development of a agriculture sustainable must know that the general thrust of the recent reform agreed in berlin is a step continuous support to the products on the direct support to the incomes of farmers . 
ladies and gentlemen , a budget is always more than a cold calculation of figures . 
finally , it is immoral , mr president , cut expenditure for agricultural policy , for the meda programme , for the excluded social , and try to ensure the resources allocated to finance the obligations of the european union in kosovo and yugoslavia . 
it is very simple : this winter serbs cannot morirse of cold or hunger . 
furthermore , i would like to express my concern about the fact that the various parliaments of young people have been included in the socrates programme . 
as is natural , also have to say clearly to the council that it also concern the responsibility as regards the lack of development of many programmes belonging to the heading of external action . 
we need solutions stable around these aid and , in a greater extent , to planning in the long term that is needed in the western balkans . 
i believe that the majority is prepared to accept this , provided that these resources used properly . 
i share the rapporteur mrs rühle concerns and criteria mentioned this afternoon in connection with the chapters of the research and social assistance . 
two weeks ago , we welcome the house joint parliamentary acp . 
at the same time , we demand that the fund research and information equip itself with budgetary resources earmarked for the study of alternative products to the current growers of tobacco . 
i would like to make it very clear that , in ireland northern is concerned , the european europeaha had influence more direct and positive conceivable . 
in this model respect the rules and procedures is guaranteed by an independent authority and , ultimately , judges . 
in this way will not come for the first time a codecision procedure at first reading on a text extremely complex and full of technical difficulties associated with a sector particularly sensitive to the protection of individual freedoms . 
it is very appropriate that have not been fundido their respective tasks . 
we know , for example that the schengen system has stored , more than 10 million sheets which affect nearly a million and a half of citizens , who europol is beginning to see extended without cease its powers , centralisation information from various services of police in the fifteen member states , and under the exclusive control of a authority whose powers and resources are not posts available to allow it to fulfil really another task . 
having said this , i take the presence of commissioner to say that it would appear appropriate concerned not only the protection of the citizen to new technologies , but also to use them to promote the ability of the european citizen in order to act and interact with the european institutions . 
the amendments numbered 1 , 2 , 4 to 10 , 12 40 , 42 54 , 57 , 58 and 60 to 64 articulates the text of the council to the points on which the commission can give their agreement . 
it is clear then that its opinion on the legislative proposals concerning the protection of personal data will be particularly regarded as constitute an important contribution to the legislative debate between the institutions . 
the treaty recognises in effect to the outermost regions a situation of economic and social difficult , aggravated by the particular obstacles between the residence and the interaction cause damage serious development of these regions . 
it will contribute to the promotion of economic progress and social through a level of employment high . 
therefore , i congratulate mrs mrs sudre and await with great interest the development of rules of the commission 's proposals to soon can be taken into account the specific characteristics , as provided for in paragraph 2 of article 299 of the treaty of amsterdam . 
for many european some outermost regions are not more than a tourist destination in the map . 
our rates of unemployment are among the highest of the union . 
i am glad that the committee has adopted by a large majority of the amendments i tabled . 
in my opinion , is very important that the ultra-peripheral areas are integrated into the trans-european networks of transport , energy and telecommunications . 
the approval by unanimity of the members of the committee on regional policy of the report presented by our colleague margie mrs sudre represents the loyalty of the european parliament to one of its most important commitments . 
we can discuss a whole range of circumstances and believe that , reached that point proper and idyllic -denominémoslo -it no longer be necessary to take more action in the treatment of these three areas and , especially , of the outermost regions on which we are today debating . 
this article ladies and gentlemen allows us to do everything , but we can strengthen and , i believe that it is necessary , to extend and improve our action . 
for the preparation of the proposals that are necessary , the commission is collaborating obviously with the member states and regions in question . 
we know that in these regions there are difficulties persistent and i believe therefore , objectively , according to its real level of development , which will need for a long time of the support of the regional policy and of individual measures . 
a meeting of this kind could be organised again during the year 2001 , when we get more advanced in the implementation of the programme presented in march . 
the presidency stated settled the matter and i accept fully . 
i believe that parliament is right in adhere to the current provisions , because , as has been said by another colleague , is not often of a poor functioning of the devices of vote , but that members forgotten vote , and if you could correct one vote , would be a problem of never stop . 
there is no doubt that i am what as . 
in short , commissioner , as well as the authority is necessary that the commission services responsible , in cooperation and coordination with the member states , establishing a system of controls uniform and effective throughout the food chain and that the network of laboratories food of the european union is enhanced and work coordinated with the commission . 
in order to prevent the same scientific research repeated requires the cooperation with the centres of research national and community . 
today we are discussing a white paper , and we should define certain general principles . 
these procedures have already been modified and the altered and now we have our own ' food standards agency " . 
finally , we will also support some of the new amendments , without doubt , amendments nos 11 until 13 and 7 to 9 , and we want a free vote on amendment no 14 . 
in the light of this difference i would like to stress that the that can be guaranteed food safety depends on the solidity of inspections carried out by the authorities , and let us not forget that the degree of soundness of the same determined by the link weaker . 
we addressed a question to the put out the superficial and vacuidad of the debate that we have on the political union of europe . 
let us hope , therefore , the palestinian european food safety only experience scientific , in coordination with our national agencies . 
if we follow the trail of progress of the main diseases from food which affect europe at present , the majority of them did his first appearance in the americas . 
however , we must determine the conditions to convene the authority of such a way as to ensure a efficient action and quickly . 
we must also point out , as some of the previous speakers , in particular mr whitehead and mrs gebhardt , that the white paper is much more than any new work regulatory of the union . 
mr president , today i feel happy and i would like to thank the commission , because it has begun work to improve food safety , mr bowis and the whole of the commission on the environment , public health and consumer policy . 
i think that amendment no 17 is particularly interesting . it says that we must consulting organisations of consumers . 
another aspect is the revision organic standards of labelling both for the sale by greater as detail that , as regards the traceability of products and their components , offering a proper consumer information and allow refine possible responsibilities in the case of risk or crisis . 
in my opinion , the adoption of a new legislation does not provide an adequate response to the non-compliance with the existing legislation . 
thanks to the vote on the environment committee we manage to restore some balance by including in the scope of the problems associated with the nutrition and some important references to the role of small and medium-sized enterprises in the protection of the different customs food . 
mr president , i would like to add my voice to that of other colleagues who have congratulated the rapporteur , mr bowis , for having approached this particular problem in a very constructive and logical . 
mr president , that the white paper on food safety in itself not magazine legislative not jeopardising the dual value that certainly possesses . 
the rapporteur , but also many members belonging to the committee , including myself , we have put the emphasis in the food authority and , in fact , this is regrettable in some way . 
the integrity and independence of this agency will protect with better guarantees the safety of european consumers . 
during this whole process i thought repeatedly that have been fortunate to choose the rapporteur 's report . 
mr president , i would like also to congratulate mr mr bowis for the remarkable effort made to include all the points of view in his report and in particular for having accepted talk about the overall concept of food . 
in the end , mr president , the policy cannot bypass its responsibility . 
and the most important of all , must earn the respect of their pares , public confidence and the will of the governments of the member states to accept its conclusions . 
it is as well as i see a food authority for the future . 
we have the world health in geneva . 
we hidden that when published the white paper i talked against this authority . 
therefore , we must ensure that the european union available standards highest possible food safety , despite the fact that this approach - unanimously shared - must also look at the consequences that implies , in terms of economic , a need productive . 
the tasks will be the following : research independent scientific advice , controls and inspections independent system of rapid alert and also coordination to restore confidence . 
as acotación outside , i can say to the speakers who have referred to the need for flexibility in relation to the production of specialities culinary local and typical products , that this subject is already covered in the legislation on hygiene . 
this will facilitate the task of the commission as regards the presentation of a balanced proposal which takes account of the greatest possible number of the views of parliament and the many interested in the field of food safety . 
on the contrary , in the past , this issue was one of the driving forces behind that , in terms of political , was the signing of the ottawa convention . 
i reiterate my position against amendments nos 10 and 19 , by coherence budgetary and , in amendment no 29 , i ask the vote by separate parts to achieve a better definition of the text which i believe has undergone some lack of interpretation . 
and arises here is the first question : the need for the european union , in particular the commission , to do everything possible towards the countries not signatories to come to sign the ottawa convention . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we all know what the consequences have anti-personnel mines despite the fact that in isolated cases often there are large justifications military . 
it was parliament which proposed for the first time , in 1996 , the creation of a budget line horizontal and a legal basis appropriate that constituyeran a unique platform for the wide range of speeches that we conduct in this important area . 
although i can not hide the fact that , obviously , the powers of persuasion of the european aimed at achieving this objective are limited to some extent by the difficulties that prevail in some member states to sign and ratify the convention . 
the effectiveness of action against mines will be greater if it has been drawn up under specific conditions of every situation . 
as parliament knows , there are already too many and , as also knows the parliament , with our proposals on the reform of the community assistance to third countries we hope to leave behind the heavy individual supervision of each project and focus , however , in our negotiations with the member states on strategies and programmes global . 
the ngos have been spreading in response to the need , however , when have passed almost four years since the first conference of the united nations on landmines , held in geneva and more than a year since the entry into force of the ottawa convention , we are forced to recognise that many countries and thousands of people , generally in the poorest regions of the world , are still suffering from the terrible consequences of landmines mines and unexploded detonar . 
the commission must improve the quality of its programmes , as well as the speed with which the applies . 
i think , however , that if you come back to matter serious thought would see that some of them - at least in my opinion - have to do with campaigns awareness , with transparency , with the access of ngos , with things that work well at the moment , but which could work better . 
patten also are right that parliament and the council should keep your hands far from the administration and i listened very carefully the comments of mr patten on this point , because by evidently believes that we must keep our hands still further . 
mr president , our group has been active for some time in the whole range of demands and action necessary , since the interruption of production , destruction of stocks , cessation of marketing , cleaning of areas of mines , rehabilitation of victims , and awareness . 
it is up to the member support the process in international fora . 
the mines are of course a major obstacle to the reconstruction in these countries as well as for the return of refugees . 
with the rate of disposal that we take - as has been said previously - rather more than 100 years in cleaning up the planet of anti-personnel mines . 
a third sector see it in concrete measures that should propose , to examine and apply . 
every child that we can save death by mines or terrible wounds in bosnia , africa or in any other place it deserves the efforts of all of us . 
we must indeed put pressure on the countries of the european union that have not signed , such as finland , or that have not ratified , such as greece . 
ladies and gentlemen , look you finland ! 
and , finally , we hope that in the context of future tasks of the military force common european proceed to the training of technical , in particular of people who are interested in the disappearance of mines in the local level . 
nor stresses that the list of countries most severely infected understands , essentially , countries of the world in development . 
the parliament 's proposals could not be more guilty of inconsistency with the objectives of lisbon . 
the rapporteur van lancker wants parliament to decide on the amendment of the commission 's proposal , mainly by adding a number of areas in which it is appropriate to legislate and setting some rights in the european level . 
for example , wishes to extend the process of luxembourg , which applies to the policy of employment , also to the protection and social exclusion . 
the powers more important , such as germany , france , the united kingdom and , to some extent , italy , are agree to put its domination small countries of eastern europe and southern applying for membership of the european union . 
however , for legal reasons , we consider wrong to make now a reference to the same in the rule 6 of the treaty of the eu because in the convention - in accordance with its estructura- can not agree formally , but i do not have any support base . 
the inclusion of the new text in the treaties could lead to legal confusion . 
on the other hand , the rapporteur echoes the new theory fashionable in brussels , the supposed dual legitimacy of the european union : the citizens , represented by the european parliament , and the member states , represented by the council . 
the swedish social democrats and democrats have today voted against the report presented by oliver duhamel on the constitutionalisation of the treaties . 
to this end , it is essential that the european union will have a constitution which includes the charter of fundamental rights . 
a constitution only makes sense if representing the democratic framework of a genuine european federation , the united states of europe . 
we were told having believed understand , in accordance with a large part of the political class , that we would prefer that our international relations being rigieran by an international treaty . 
- ( en ) i welcome the report by mr duhamel because it makes a contribution interesting and constructive contribution to the idea of the constitutionalising the treaties . 
we believe that a reorganisation of the treaties and their simplification would allow the citizens see clearly the area of competence of the eu - and their limits - , as well as the procedures to exercise these powers . 
until the treaty of amsterdam , in 1997 , europe was a supersindicato intergovernmental . 
the edd group will vote against the report presented by josé maria gil-robles gil-delgado on closer cooperation . 
this report makes clear , in fact , the concept of a european very monolithic , where all cooperation should be expressed in the ' institutional framework only ' and where all should be directed towards the objective of super-state . 
we must , therefore , to 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 coronadas by success since the beginning of the 1990s . 
- ( nl ) the cooperation union can be useful to resolve cross-border problems . 
these areas could constitute a formidable laboratory in terms of sustainable development . 
the technocrats , the european judges , wanted delete " the rate of quay ' , which seeks resources to our municipalities of the french departments overseas and , above all , protects our craftsmen . 
france , for his hand , has departments overseas in the indian ocean and the caribbean . 
its independence will be an essential element for the credibility of this body . 
our vote has clarified , therefore , the role of the composition of the future authority european , but also has defined our demands on their funding and its independence . 
secondly , the european agency must be completely independent . 
we must take account of the type of farming methods and agri-industrial , the problem of imports of goods food , the composition of the ingredients of animal foodstuffs , the maximum levels of dioxins and residues of pesticides , food additives and other nature , giving priority to food safety . 
we have voted in favour of amendment no 15 because we defend vigorously the defence of cultural heritage european linked to the production local food . 
i would like to make two requests . one of my colleagues in the committee on agriculture who have tabled nearly 30 amendments . 
we also want to earmark a 50 % of appropriations in the budget line and another 50 % in the reserve . 
i note here that there are proposals to reduce the budget . 
report ( a5-0300 / 2000 ) by mrs haug , on behalf of the committee on budgets , on the draft general budget of the european union for the year 2001 - section iii commission ( c5-0300 / 2000 - 1999 / 2190 ( bud ) ] 
madam president , my name appears as a signatory of several amendments to this report . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
the real surprise of this budget for external actions where dominates the selfishness and meanness . 
it is also possible to release resources through the use of the instruments of flexibility . 
- ( el ) i voted against the haug report , the same way that i have voted in favour of the proposal of my group to reject the budget for 2001 . 
we refer in particular the new pilot project funded actions of information in the fight against paedophilia . 
this shows fehacientemente the lack of motivation aroused by the project of european union , even between citizens politically active . 
in this way , of 20 to 30 % of the markets will provide new competition private . 
given that this is not guaranteed with this report , i voted against the same , 
with the unacceptably low thresholds national diezman subsidies - in combination with the proposed reductions of ceiling of withdrawn at 5 % for citrus fruits , 8.5 % for apples and pears , and the 10 % for the rest of fruit and hortalizas- , makes it clear that , for huge quantities of fruit and vegetables transformed , that pudrirán in camps and in the garage cooperatives , will not have any chance of market , with the consequent reduction in general prices . in this way farmers will desperately obliged grubbing-up of their crops . 
i have voted in favour of this report , because corresponds to the hopes of organisations portuguese sector hortofrutícula , which have vindicated an amendment drastic of the com in fruit and products vegetable by viewed deeply lesiva for national interests . 
report johan van hecke ( a5-0296 / 2000 ) 
the root of the problem is in the slaughter of all , even the quality of the environment and climate , in the altar of the capitalist exploitation of the productive resources and the obtaining of maximum profit . 
in kyoto , it was agreed that the countries richer dealt maintain clean its air , but can also register of limited form in its own list of results emissions produced in other parties who have helped to reduce . 
- ( fr ) the fight against the greenhouse effect is a factor of vital importance to the industrialised countries , and especially a duty towards the peoples of third world already pay with their lives consequences of climate change . 
the art live is to live in a sensible with these risks and uncertainties . 
they are the same way guaranteed and redoblarse efforts aimed at establishing exact substances suspected of being endocrine disrupters ( a . e . 
the consumer and smes not benefit from enough of the internal market , which is completed with the introduction of the euro . 
after all , the banks are forced to date by the member states to inform their central bank cross-border payments that exceed 12 500 eur , with a view to the statistics relating to the balance of payments . 
of course , requires these companies the same strict criteria on prudential and money laundering . 
we know even cases in which committees for cross-border transfers have increased after the introduction of euro , and not only in a small amount . 
the european central bank could help by implementing a format data european uniform in transactions of payments , as well as with the employment of a code of identification banking uniform at european level within the international system iban . 
it is crucial that consumers will accept the euro . 
madam president , the report by mrs peijs , on payments of little value in the internal market , it repeats the former vindication of the european parliament on the high cost of cross-border transfers within the framework of the union . 
the peijs report says so in recital d of the draft resolution . i shall quote : " the high expenditure in connection with cross-border transfers are harmful to the confidence of consumers in the euro ' . 
so , we have much to do in this area , but the resources and means that we have politicians in this respect are much lower than those existing in connection with this issue of payments in the internal market . 
the market of the euro will be in the future of an internal market , and the citizen does not understand that , in this area in which disappear risks of change and the means of electronic payment through banking internet incorporated the daily lives , a transfer from munich to salzburg is much more expensive than a transfer from munich to kiel . 
the implementation of this objective we will still many years of work to us and to you . 
in that opportunity , we shall see the reduction of the term used to make cross-border transfers , issue on which has insisted on the report by mrs peijs . 
the debate is closed . 
however seems to be a good policy the prefer a pragmatic approach and proximity that puts the small business at the heart of this mechanism , more than a proposal which , with the pretext of prevent small measures desultory , only serve to create statistics whose use specific would be perfectly impossible . 
however , i would like to make three comments on this programme . 
let us remember that the first programme of community action in this area was adopted in 1983 , that is ago seventeen years . 
in addition , i have always been in favour of this support in a policy efficient and pragmatic . 
i would say that are the real comandos economic and innovation , are in the first line and are exposed to risks that this entails . 
at the end we must take into account the results of the work of symposium ' sciences and government " which took place last week in brussels under the aegis of the centre asia-europe vision technological seville , as well as the monitoring of this symposium , because there are many interference with the issue we are discussing today . 
the rapporteur lists a number of priorities in order to strengthen the business climate in europe . 
this is very important for europe , because it can provide a rapid assistance , adequate and technically correct . 
mr president , i too would like to echo the thanks that has received mrs montfort for the excellent work . 
the important thing is to find the right balance , to avoid a situation continuous people fail at the expense of other people . 
this is not justice and , therefore , support this report . 
that is also the guiding principle of the charter for small businesses . 
the programme will do everything necessary to networks offer this information . 
it is clear that fundamental objective of the plan is to limit the migration towards countries of the european union , as well as repatriate to number of people staying illegally in the european union . 
i would like to emphasise in particular the need to take measures to improve internal security , the strengthening of dialogue between european and local authorities albanian , and , with regard to the council and the commission , the impulse of specific actions in cooperation with the albanian authorities , italian and greek . 
the poor situation social , economic and political in combination with the lack or with the insufficient legal certainty and organised crime lead migratory movement massive . 
mr president , unlike mrs pack , i think that everyone more groups deal albania better . 
it is clear that it is not possible to find an immediate solution to the whole of this problem , but , in a term not very long , it will create a world reasonably fair , safe and possibilities for the future . 
there is also a chasm between donors , all of us , europe , the united states , which give money , preoccupy projects and similar issues , and the people themselves who is on the ground . 
let us , therefore , the bilateral agreements that so clear and legal fixing the work , the time and place of residence , the salary , hours , working conditions and social security , so that immigrants can show itself as a force at the service of the economies of our countries and contribute to the friendship and cooperation between peoples and not to grow aspirations nationalists and of the times of the cold war . 
it repatría people that have been integrated properly . 
the point of attention not must lie in modes of restrict the flow of migrants and refugees , but in how to improve the living conditions of the area to which people can remain in their homes . 
mr president , i also believe that , as mr dimitrakopoulos , with regard to the difficulties of albania - economic , social and internal security - is still essential to the issue of help that country to restore the rule of law , to give security to the citizens and to restore the authority of the institutions and the local authorities . 
i share the opinion of the colleague liese that we need a distribution of burdens on policy on asylum and refugees . 
the action plan for albania and the neighbouring region was adopted in june this year , and is , therefore , the sixth of the series . 
in ratos being imposed frustration , and also the surprise to the european law , and we want to appeal to this parliament , but also to other community institutions , not to go back to the efforts of the thorough work , work with precision , and to make provision for the necessary time and staff necessary . 
with this report want to send to the citizens of the message that we take seriously the complaints about the poor quality of legislation and on the suprarregionalización and centralism . 
it is in itself of a quite important , of course , although one does not say so judging by the low assistance to discuss in more depth . 
another issue more vital is that the report raises the question of subsidiarity , which in some measure is controversial this afternoon in this house . 
it would also be very interesting to see a study of the current situation of the legislation , in the light of this principle , to make it more simple , more transparent , more effective and more relevant , basin by freeing itself texts superfluous , as invites you to this paragraph 6 of this report . 
after having studied the report with very carefully , i have reached the conclusion that not even is a political principle : it is a principle theological . 
in other words , we must ensure recognition of the principle of subsidiarity also communities smaller , realities autonomous , the cores intermediate , cores social , families and the citizens who are the only real sovereign action legislative and administrative . 
let me , therefore , give a vision of synthesis . 
i now give the floor to mr commissioner . 
is it an area in which we must intervene and produce a detailed legislation to ensure that implantará everywhere , or should be considered as an alternative a voluntary agreement that complied with and can be monitored ? 
- ( de ) i voted in favour of the report , although i have not achieved the approval of some amendments , because the issue of the high costs of change and transfers in the euro zone 
when within fifteen months have , indeed , the same coins and notes in the eleven member states , will become more expensive draw this money uniform outside the country in which they live . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i must start by regretting that the commissioner for fisheries , mr fischler , not to be here today . 
it must be an agreement that boost cooperation in fisheries and the moroccan fisheries sector , but that will satisfy also fully fishing interests of the european fleets . 
therefore , we have reached a consensus to work from the perspective of cooperation responsible , after which morocco table its views at a meeting which , as you pointed out , held in brussels on 30 october , monday . 
a few weeks , i was myself in algeciras , in the coast southern spain . it is not very far from morocco . 
the time , in his life , we enseñó also difficult could become impossible . 
through the fisheries agreements of the union can exert fishing activities and exchange rights fishing with third countries . 
i have read in a magazine swedish specialised in fisheries that one of these ships reaches the shore burden in the aaiún , that is described as a port moroccan . 
all this is at stake . they are in danger of all our fisheries agreements , not only with morocco , because they are also mauritania and shortly guinea , among others . 
eleven months has been slow to reach the point of turning in which we are , the meeting of the day 30 and , in this respect , we also know assess the latest measures of commissioner fischler , the results of its journey of the last day 26 to morocco and the interviews of high level maintained , even with the own king . 
but i would like to convey to the commission , represented today worthily by commissioner busquin , messages very brief . 
my question to the commission is : if we do not get an agreement with morocco , or if this agreement is being held in the terms indicated by the commission , an agreement which will stimulate production moroccan , does the commission to take structural measures to compensate for the delay which will produce in the regions affected ? 
as imagined , the difficulties in the negotiations with the moroccan authorities have been very great . 
finally , in the undesirable event fail negotiations , the union has the obligation to political and moral support to the fishermen and owners with aid satisfactory that guarantee means of subsistence . 
we must dismantle the excess capacity of the fishing industry of the eu . 
that is why we need as quickly as possible closer economic relations and policies with marruecossin prejudice the imposition of our european interests in the field of fisheries . 
that is why the commission is working on the basis of a new cooperation aimed at development of interest to both sides and allow the one hand , the integrated development of moroccan fisheries sector , the fleet , aquaculture , the transformation of trade and research and , secondly , the granting of possibilities of fisheries to the european fishermen . 
human teachers language 
" not only in german there is a clear difference between the two formulations . 
in july 1999 the commission took this infringement procedure before the court of justice . 
so unless we succeed harmonise systems - which we hope - today for today , respect for the principle of subsidiarity should not be allowed to go through the discrimination which , very probably , is the request of a privilege . 
perhaps we can accept that the previous commission under the direction of mr santer was not the best , this is the reason why that was dissolved . 
states of the commission affairs juridicos and the internal market throughout the union and all the parties have united to say that there is no use talking about rights , support letters of rights , whether in genuine cases in which she is being denied the rights to certain people are not being taken by real action to be recognised and implemented , and this is the problem in this case . 
this is absolutely unacceptable in a modern europe . 
of course , the area of education falls within the subsidiarity , but within the framework of contracts , the freedom of movement of workers and the ban on discrimination concern us all , although we are in favour - and i particularly , because i come from a federal state - the principle of subsidiarity as a principle computer cooperation in the european union and the distribution of competences between the different levels of europe is orderly according to the princio subsidiarity as quickly as possible . 
in this context , there must be no talk of discrimination . 
mr president , you would address by an expert on the terms form of surgery in italian , english , french , german or by a surgeon ? 
( the sitting was closed 10.56 p.m. ) 
we want to show our deep sympathy . 
i give the floor to mr ceyhun , which is expressed in as rapporteur and on behalf of the pse group 's . 
turning to the statements by the council and the commission on the third asia-europe meeting , the council has informed who do not wish to speak at the moment . 
therefore , it is an issue which , according to the treaties and according to the euratom treaty , is the responsibility of the commission ; it affects , or can affect , many citizens who are not exclusively spanish because in this area and within its area , without which there is no plan emergency , there are hundreds of thousands of european citizens from the fifteen countries of the union , apart from many who come from outside , because it is the coast of sun . 
madam president , it is sad , but very illustrative learn through the minister for home spanish , mr mayor oreja , that there is any possibility of dialogue with basque nationalists , even if in future arose a new truce . 
i would ask that we take account of this week a affirmation of the commission on the decision of the british government to introduce a tribute of discriminatory nature to carriers nationality not british . 
given that the parties so-called liberal , even european , are tending increasingly to aliarse with forces inspiration xenophobic , racist , authoritarian , i believe that this is a serious danger not only for italy , but that is also a sign that affects the whole of europe . 
however , in the report also contains critical comments to the french proposal . 
these demands are contained in amendments nos 2 and 4 of the report by mrs karamanou . 
the initiative of the french presidency that we are considering today is intended to improve the two conventions general legal assistance in criminal matters - i have just outlined - particularly in 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 of parliament . 
we can but congratulate them on this work . 
marinho - and i also agree - , the way is communitisation . 
all those who have spoken coincide in that it is an initiative very valuable and we support their statements . 
what we need is to be given europol operational capacity to act of cross-border . 
cases are too many common in our current europe . that is why , before lend my support to a premature furor of checks mutual judicial resolutions , i would like there to be a recognition set of standards fair . 
i understand that it is very difficult because here we must build on the basis dispersal of instruments . 
but it is also a need to strengthen the economic area of the european union , and is also a desire of the citizens , to which we have matched , because the citizens of the union have a right to security . 
in the european union , we must continue carrying out a fight persistent against money laundering , aware that , especially after the creation of the single market and the liberalisation of the markets of capital and financial services , imposes a police cooperation and effective judicial between the member states , as effective as possible . 
as consultant financial , nothing authorises assume that the lawyer , as such , is not to exercise their profession . 
in the same way , i would like to say that i am aware of the delicacy of the question raised by several of you on the conditions in which the confidentiality of the legal professions may constitute a rejection founded the cooperation on judicial cooperation in the fight against money laundering . 
this is true , especially in the case of serious crimes , crimes of especially serious and cross-border in nature . 
overall , the task is so great and so important that there can be played solely by the council . 
we therefore need to strengthen the rights of citizens adopting an effective instrument and recognise the competence of the court of justice , in particular in terms of its right of interpretation and its power to decide whether or not . 
therefore , while presto my support for greater cooperation and coordination , i believe that make it a legal system would be a wrong decision and we will oppose it . 
the second point is also interesting . 
this is something positive and it is pleasing to note that has so much support in this parliament . 
i shall take this oportunidad- since several members have raised points very sensitive to tell you quite frankly , as has just pointed out by mr coelho , that this initiative we seem to be above all a first initiative which shows the political will of the council to overcome the delay in the field of judicial cooperation , with regard to the police cooperation . 
for which i regard as an important instrument for guaranteeing the judicial control of europol . 
the programme fair on research in the field of fisheries , agriculture and the agro-industria was part of the fourth framework programme of research that spread from 1994 to 1998 . 
given the importance of the programme of research for agriculture and fisheries , it is regrettable that have been acknowledged some problems that relate to the organisation of the programme . 
the report of the court of auditors on the programme fair , in the behind the report of the rapporteur , not published until march this year , although the letters of sector were sent to the commission in december 1998 and february 1999 . 
on behalf of the committee on fisheries , i would like to highlight several points . 
you emphasised , and i thank you , the spirit in which it drew up this report , thanks to the dialogue with the court of auditors and the commission services and the interest that you want shed . 
this shows that the commission not stayed dormant and which led to effect the comments you have raised . 
i now turn to the question that mrs bjerregaard . 
thank you , commissioner . 
this prize will be submitted to the partnership ' just already ' in the sitting december next . 
i am deeply convinced it also opens the constitutive process that this house has called for so many times and so insistence , although some heads of state and government do not want recognize this . 
i am particularly pleased to stand here before you to discuss in depth a beautiful project as is the charter of fundamental rights of the european union , before you take the final position on this text . 
for my part , i have no doubt that this time will be presented . 
it is true , however , that have been able to make some criticisms about the content of the charter . 
i think that is taking a position important and welcome . 
for this parliament was a great success ensure - and the groups did common front on this point , which is a result positivo- that the european parliament were represented by 16 members in the convention on fundamental rights . 
the charter today presented is , in my view , a great challenge and can become the card presentation of europe , as pointed out a great european daily in a headline on 26 september 2000 . 
therefore , my group still think that it is absolutely essential to include a reference to the charter in paragraph 2 of article 6 of the treaty . 
they were many who thought that europe was finally able to get out of the only area of free trade and treadmill liberal to lay the foundations for a europe of citizens . 
in the european
