we very much aware that the relevant treaties are inadequate and , in future to another , more efficient structure for the european union that must be developed , namely a more constitutional very firm structure with a clear distinction between the powers of the member states and the powers of the union . 
it is first messages of the concern about the economic and social difficulties that we , in spite of constant growth as a result of years efforts on the part of all our fellow citizens are facing . 
the present situation , particularly for many self-employed hauliers , for agriculture , it is unacceptable , we must all cases to be improved . 
the agreement on the procedure is in itself is good , but it must ensure that the system is not as a political schlagwaffe can be used . 
they too have now the rights to be clear in view , to which they must adhere to . 
i agree with his warning for some appealing considers a return to the methods of intergovernmental cooperation . 
many of us want to see a federation of nation states . this implies that each of its proper place . 
the rapporteurs have the level of the debate to be highlighted and also the need to go further , i can only , of course vote in favour of it . 
of the latter , i would like to say that we are facing a speech the forces concerned study with them familiar with them and to consider , because a political speech must always be realistic and always kräftesituation and all of us objectives to be taken into account . 
i should like to say that we in this closer cooperation as our starting point , a few examples of the new capacity in europe to provide . 
the voting will take place today at 12.30 p.m . 
amendment no 12 , the commission must reject . 
i shall for the adoption of regelungsentwurfs vote in favour of it . 
this will in the reports of the european court of auditors is constantly low information out of greece to portugal ever happen again . 
we have therefore not voted in favour of this report . 
the supporters is that such buses , not only be cheaper and worldwide applicable , but also because of environmentally friendly , as their fuel consumption per passenger less . 
the report calls also on the definition of the benchmarks with a view to the dissemination of the best practice in the eu . 
a binding and comprehensive the charter of fundamental rights with enforceable rights could at a later date to difficulties . 
i would also like to thank both for the sterling work they have done . 
we do not believe , though , that it has been less than three months in nice can be completed . for this reason alone we cannot vote in favour of the charter of fundamental rights at the summit in nice in the treaty . 
the csu welcomes the fact that with this final of the charter of fundamental rights of the citizens with regard to the institutions and bodies of the eu ceiling of fundamental rights , in short and visible . 
it is a reflection of the emerging liberal europe . 
i would have liked to have seen that this charter further work , as many non-governmental organizations from different countries of the union have suggested . 
( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by mr queiró hungary [ com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - in 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ] ; 
that is why i should like to propose to you that we as parliament next year is no general more on the table , but only compile , in order to make it clear that we are in favour of a differentiated progress of the negotiations . 
it seems to me that the french presidency on the basis of the work of the previous presidencies and the commission will be able , at least i hope that , on the european council in nice is a very accurate overview of the accession process . 
as i have already said , and should like to repeat it here , the french presidency none of the intervening difficulties be avoided , which is of course does not mean that we have the time and have the opportunity each of these difficulties auszudiskutieren . 
this question is , of course perfectly understandable , but it must be reasonable and clear reply . 
it is a great perspective , which we and vision must tackle . 
not every outcome of the intergovernmental conference would enormous adjust of enlargement . 
the second major change , which we are witnessing and europe will have to adjust , is the rapid acceleration of the economic development towards global market and global competition . 
fourthly : hence , there is one principle that the member states , which will later have started , a fair chance , which previously have started . 
where large and long-term investment is needed to european standards should be borne in mind that the present members in these cases long transition periods are used . 
for of border security and the fight against crime is also our standards and the benefits of the european cooperation . 
if we look at the current trade between the european union and the central and eastern european countries . 
fortunately , the commissioner now finally , the citizens , for the first time have been informed that the fears which , as has already been mentioned , are unfounded . 
but one thing is clear - and i welcome the fact that mr verheugen once again be stressed : a transitional period for the respect of democratic rules cannot exist . 
for this we need the help of the commission , because it lacks determination , sometimes in the appropriate ammunition . 
this is necessary so that we , as the european union objectives , the internal reforms to a conclusion . 
however , there are important issues and , in which we disagree . 
this is bad for the european union , their future independence in relation to north america and a common european defence and security policy , because it involves risks for the relationship with russia and other countries . 
we would like to see results , and we want to see what is in preparation for enlargement must be done , not another intergovernmental conference should be postponed . 
i shall be brief , as i have just to have done so , when i , my first speech three minutes my speaking time was not used . 
this is very important , and i am very pleased that the commission an information campaign is working , which , after the words of commissioner verheugen both comprehensive and must be decentralised to be carried out . 
but - and this is my last word , because i would like this quite clear : i am not pessimistic in this matter , i am counting on time , i would like a clear statement in favour of the enlargement - to be credible , we must seriously , we must be understood , we must have the support of the peoples of the peoples of the candidate countries and also of our people , could win . 
at the moment , i see no need , in connection with the enlargement on the financial perspective to speak . 
from a single , i can you today . 
for the same reason , in fact , they have also expressed the wish to join the european union . 
we shall now to the various rapporteurs have the floor . 
i have been responsible be given the task of the report on the request of estonia to join the european union on the table . 
as conservative , i am very economical with the taxpayers ' money . 
i believe , only then , you could have an idea of what the people in latvia , in the last few years , have carried out . 
that is not enough for the whole strategy must be more to the citizens focused . 
lithuania has a considerable potential for a long-term economic growth . 
in the broadest sense , there is the cooperation of the european union with the russian federation . 
a further commencement point is the support of the public in and outside the european union . 
as a result of a wise taxation totalled foreign direct investment in the last year more than 5,45 billion euros . 
we should not interfere in this regard , certainly not we germans ! 
the slovak democracy is being developed stable , and in this area , we had already been different experienced . 
in my speech i shall six aspects of the development of the situation in hungary show and systematically under the point of view of the accession to the union are important . 
that is why i am glad that this issue in the general report of the honourable member , mr brok on enlargement has been included . 
this is no more than on the field of nuclear power , where there is a risk that the lobby opposed the legitimate concerns in relation to nuclear safety and environmental protection for their own ends usurpiert . 
i should like my colleagues , accepting the formation of a high-level group to recommend this . 
the report also unanimously adopted in committee , to the conclusion that the part of the national territory , the legal authorities falls , meets the copenhagen political criteria . 
it is the key role to play our high representative for the cfsp , javier solana , to what its own role played by the commission , of course unaffected . 
the main problem of malta , there is still in the fact that the accession process of government and opposition is assessed in different ways , and the european union value attaches that this accession process is continually is proceeding . 
even between the united states and mexico , the level of close are located together . that is why we in the area of the internal market for a deliberate , flexible and the challenge of appropriate strategy . 
i should also say that i respect for the citizens in central and eastern european countries , the ten years ago have had the courage , on the streets , and this process in motion . 
the information society is important for the old as for the new industry . 
we must also not by the percentages of internal legislation umgesetztes community dazzled . 
the ten new eastern european countries have such a rich erbonkel not anywhere else in europe . 
this applies equally to the subhuman - transport of live animals abattoirs . 
now , we are working on a regulation for all the important legislation , an assessment of the health consequences have in mind . 
in my opinion , it must also on the european union and to be made clear that the european fund for regional development will not remain on the basis of a purely accounting distribution in the regions and areas are to be granted . 
elmar brok has rightly his speech with the reference has been initiated , that we all benefit from the enlargement , in particular we on this side of the current external borders . 
the binnenschiffverkehr will be important environmental , because we tranship away from the roads , and if we do not by rail transport , then we must waterways use of it . 
there is also of selfishness and not least populism have played a part , and the unregulated exchange rate value of the euro , the result is certainly not positive influenced . 
our message to the candidate countries : do not let themselves from the scope of these reports and documents confused . 
unfortunately , at present many parties its ideological worst with the result that it is too little ideals represent and materialistic . 
if it is necessary , a free right to purchase hosting and burnt suspend , so we should do so . 
it is up to now exist , but perhaps by bureaucratic lack of transparency and the obvious , but it is not public resistance of some governments are at risk . 
where are the millions of jobs in the maastricht treaty ? 
while we are of the treaties is new to take , call for some of the next reform . 
almost all the international studies show in connection with the enlargement of the macroeconomic profits . 
however , the main objective of the slovenian policy - the earliest possible accession to the european union - apart from a few minor minorities of any political grouping called into question . 
will the enlargement of the union will soon have taken place , it would be highly decentralised , as the group of the european liberal , democrat and reform party in its opinion on enlargement as well . 
it was clear that for the country typical strictly orderly anstaltsregime have long-term consequences for the health of the orphans . 
i would ask you to support the corresponding amendments . 
and we , the european politicians , have too little insight into the negotiating process . 
cyprus almost as a bridge to the countries of this region act . 
i wish the negotiators are still a great deal of success in this important area . 
a second type of communication is also important , of course between our countries and the candidate countries , in order to give what the european union . 
we cannot afford that , even more from moving from the beginning of the 1990s to lose . 
. mr president , first of all , i would like , as rapporteur of the group of the party of european socialists for the report on romania the rapporteur on her excellent product to be congratulated . 
for the institutions , for the member states , for us all , to this challenge , but also the fears of our own public have grown to demonstrate , and once again , the strength of ambition and the vision of the founding fathers of europe . 
unfortunately i have the impression that this process of enlargement , despite many fine words and despite hard öffnens and schließens numerous chapters of the council is not with the necessary political emphasis is being promoted . 
many countries of the union had a certain moment in its development with similar problems and bulgaria to discuss , in order to help the current problems have to be overcome . 
democracy is not just a question of majority voting , but also a question of the appropriate codecision of minorities . 
the applicant countries must treatment and their accession should only of their development dependent . 
at the same time we should recognize with as much use in countries such as that of lithuania try lost ground incurred . 
in this respect , it is in our interest , our legal and freiheitssystem to romania of extending , and this is certainly in a critical debate with our public an argument . 
with regard to a matter , there is great unanimity , and this is enlargement . 
my group therefore supports the limit of the transition periods in the area of the environment on maximum five years . 
it is very important , mr president , that we have a positive movement in the enlargement of the european union . 
of course , there is still on the order of the accession of the candidate countries to discuss , for example , because of the progress in the internal reforms to be judged on . 
i am pleased that the report is so affirmative and that slovenia - and this is what i have as chairman of the delegation , on several occasions will be able to check , and the commissioner was , of course , on several occasions - really massive , are hard to fulfil the criteria . 
i believe that the proposal for worthy of discussion . 
these forms of violence and the trafficking in women are already with all the means both in the eu and in the candidate countries to condemn and , to combat it . 
in conclusion , i would like to take this opportunity of the considerations and the concern of many colleagues have said , it is necessary , at last detail , the question of the borders of europe and the size of its enlargement and the effectiveness of the drawing up the relevant report of the european parliament to look at them . 
the minutes of the previous sitting have been distributed . 
thank you . 
in this house will rightly pointed out again and again that , in a europe of the citizens of the citizens ' rights in the right of the european union have been established . 
i put the request of the committee on legal affairs and the internal market to the vote . 
we know that the undesirable substances , which we are talking about here , are very rarely acute toxic substances are involved , but rather in the long term transferring long-lived and bioaccumulative substances such as dioxins aflatoxin and heavy metals such as cadmium , lead and mercury . 
we can sinners today is no longer , have to be found . 
if these verschneidung allows us to do so , we must at least a registration in the supervisory bodies , and it must be made public , that these verschneidung , because this issue must also in the public know and to be discussed . 
one thing must clearly : the dioxin crisis was the result of criminal acts against the existing rules . 
. mr president , i should like to thank the members who spoke before me . 
this was an urgent need . 
the limit value for fish meal is different , for example by the limit value for not juveniles engineered , to animal products is proposed . 
it is high time that we in this misleading interpretation of the principle of subsidiarity , with the imposition of our nations by brussels daily developed , to put an end . 
i am , as well as the rapporteur of the opinion that the proposed measures is justified and the list of substances must be controlled , even if they themselves are not toxic , in combination with other substances increased values . these are basically good rules . 
unfortunately , it is a great deal überliefertem knowledge , healthy bauernverstand in the industrial agriculture , where the animals production units and merchandise reduced have been lost . 
the new regulations will be the very detailed and complex hygiene , which many directives is to be distributed were brought together , harmonisation and simplified . 
the number of people who ingredients exactly question is , according to my researches relatively small . 
secondly : a change is very well , but for the farmers , the producers of feed materials , you will in future much more lots of ausgangsprodukten destroy . 
the compensation is necessary , even though there is no dispute that the farmers themselves a great responsibility for animal welfare . 
in amendment no 18 is explicitly required , water in the definition of feed to be included . 
on the basis of this scientific risk assessments , the commission will of the member states the appropriate measures to set limit values for these substances in feedingstuffs recommend . 
after the examination of the amendments which , in this sitting have been put forward , i welcome the support of parliament for the proposal . 
overall , the commission can 15 of the 27 of the amendments . 
i assume that this time will not be successful . 
the commission has promised that she will work , and it has also announced that it is not until tomorrow will be completed . 
farmers must quite simply to make more know , at least question percentages everything , and to what extent in these of compound feedingstuffs contain . 
finally , i would like the rapporteur , mr graefe zu baringdorf , and mrs roth-behrendt warmly for their reports , i would like to thank and hope that the council on this issue to a constructive attitude , and this is the way we work together to a transparent system of feedingstuffs . 
all of this , we have clearly teach as a result , which is a real novel with several chapters has developed . 
pollutants , which is the health of humans and animals influence , are not acceptable . 
let us begin , however , with the positive . 
the present proposal is the beginning of a number of initiatives on the white paper on food safety are based . 
thank you , mr 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 request of hungary to join the european union and the state of the negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - in 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ) 
report ( a5-0247 / 2000 ) by baroness nicholson of winterbourne , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , human rights , common security and defence policy , on the request romania 's accession to the european union and the state of the negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 510 - c5-0033 / 2000 - in 1997 / 2171 ( cos ) ) 
the third , and perhaps the most difficult requirement is that the council , the new institutional agreements reach agreement , which the efficient , effective and democratic functioning of the community after enlargement , to ensure . 
for great europe must , on the contrary , the institutions are planned , the development of the east support , but at the same time room for sovereignty and differences . this excellent principle should also within the european union . 
finally , i would like to stress that the enlargement process , it is a gradual and in line with the anpassungsfortschritten of the applicant countries needs to be done . 
in the current context , and in view of the votes , which recently to hear and the enlargement of the european union into question , it is important that this parliament is a clear political signal for this enlargement . 
the european union is since its creation of the reunification of the people . 
the criteria of the council of copenhagen in 1993 to democratisation or more competitive , under the guise of the ' acquis communautaire ' the rule of the unbridled and destructive capitalism . 
under these circumstances would be a flight forward to the enlargement process , with a view to increase in the populist and faschistoiden excesses quarters to see . 
we have just on the agenda for this sitting a report on equal opportunities for women and men , once again illustrates how badly with the acquis communautaire in practice in this area shape . 
anyone who wanted to poland kopernikus and johannes-paul ii access to the european parliament refuse 1956 in budapest troubled hungary or the extremely symbolic capital prague in which the democracies , once the head of state by a fenstersturz absetzten and the people of jan palach , for the freedom opferte , with violence niederhielten . 
a wider europe with more tasks and responsibilities needs new and more financial resources . 
on this occasion offer the older people and pensioners in estonia my greetings and i hope that we ensure will give them a existence in the european union . 
if latvia continue progress is being made and the european union institutional structures and policies adapted to cope with enlargement , i see no reason why latvia is not in the european union . 
if lithuania still progress is being made and the european union institutional structures and policies adapted to cope with enlargement , i see no reason why lithuania is not in the european union . 
even in environment with the creation of ' national fund for environmental protection ' and the application of the ' polluter pays ' principle progress . 
if the european union poland the door to our common house opens up , it is towards this newcomer for equity , justice , which this country for too long denied . 
i look forward to the early accession of the czech republic to the european union . 
. i welcome the report by mr queiró , on the request of hungary to join the european union and the most part of its conclusions to support it . 
i hope that bulgaria of the union not too distant future to join . 
poos report ( a5-0249 / 2000 ) 
it is a balanced and fair opinion , which the council seriously to note . 
in this context , i hope that the negotiations under the auspices of the united nations is to be a success , so that the greek and turkish ethnic group on cyprus together of the benefits of the accession within the framework of a reunited republic may benefit from this . 
i welcome the report by mr poos , on the request of the republic of cyprus to join the european union . 
but we consumers are on the extreme at the end of the food chain and are therefore is the last sammelbecken modified and food . 
we are , in particular to ensure that the safety of food at european level and in concrete form to the boat or from the field to the dining table will be guaranteed . 
it is precisely because we for the development really and equal cooperation between all the countries of the world , we have not the intention , with our vote a farce to support it . 
the council informed parliament before the vote in committee , but in the short term , that deliberately further talks with me or the european parliament will be prevented . 
in my report i have not only a stronger representation and the involvement of the ngos , a greater accountability to the european parliament , an annual report and a debate in parliament and the maximum demand transparency , but also in favour of the multiple discrimination , we should recognise and the memory of the past alive in the fight against prejudice possible use . 
at the same time , we must legitimate interests of the workers to be taken into account . 
the social partners are , as the party primarily responsible for the regulation of diskriminierungsfragen at work which are best placed to find practical work towards solutions . 
jenny , it is the coordinator of the access-charter-gruppe and to the public hearings on article 13 will be invited . 
in fact , because of directives and programmes incentives to provide that the member states in the fight against discrimination from the same to proceed on the basis , and they make it possible for the commission , its role as guardian of the treaties to play , but also in social debate into the bargain . 
although the present legal basis funds for new preparatory actions releases could their funding within this category mittelreduzierung for other policies . 
this is a proposal for a necessary but insufficient framework we will have the opportunity to take their mechanisms after a certain has been suggested that the period of application of these safeguard clauses have to be made perfect . 
i hope that the commission will in the light of this new directive carefully with the question of discrimination on grounds of sex . 
i congratulate the commission and my colleagues in producing reports . 
i welcome the recommendation in the report is a man who non-confessional organisations to give them the chance , perhaps as professional requirement staff conditions , which this recital on this issue . 
the fact that the institutions as soon by the treaty of amsterdam granted to the new powers make use , proves that the european union in the field of equal opportunities to play a pioneering role , and , madam commissioner , i would like the european commission very specifically , i would like to thank . 
the presence of discrimination diverse nature in our societies , confirms the importance of the present action programme , with regard to the report by mr cashman . 
. mr president , on behalf of the members of the bonino list , i would like , our confusion about the way the treatment of the issue of discrimination , racism and xenophobia by this union and the member states . 
can the commissioner to explain why the commission to this aspect are ignored ? 
the second is for me the problem that ngos , however important they are to be encouraged , regardless of their size of its kind and their action in the implementation to try . 
the group of the european liberal , democrat and reform party has all this positive , and in particular the work of the european parliament , which also and above all special emphasis on the prevention of discrimination , as well as of best practice presented . 
this is a challenge for all of us , because we have all the people , in accordance with the first impression in a position to judge . 
. mr president , if we discrimination to combat and rules do not have to be adopted , then admit their existence and even to the fact that many of their forms now ' legal ' , since they everyday belong . 
first of all , the of unctad welthandels- and development of the united nations , 1963 in geneva , the principle of positive action , i.e. the discrimination be drawn up . 
the information and awareness stage is indeed a fundamental significance in this area , it must preparatory work to be done to ensure that a new mentality , new misconception and behaviour kept in mind , so that there is still in the population widely spoken prejudice once and for all to be resolved , and to all citizens real equality is guaranteed . 
that is why it is now a question , with the two for discussion contemplate legislative initiatives to make progress , but also by some aspects to be improved and for the financing of the programme information funds to be replenished , what the political importance of this fight against discrimination . 
in particular , the agreement on the principle of suitable adjustments , sweden and ireland a pioneering role played , will now ensure that the employers in europe for their jobs to adjust sonderausstattungen and their business change that disabled people , a real chance . 
the article 13 is the point of departure for a new objective of the eu : the fight against discrimination or of unequal treatment of the citizens , for reasons which , in this article included . 
secondly , i would like to point out that the commission , this first package is unfortunately a having serious has made a mistake by the reasons for discrimination in the order of precedence look . 
. mr president , discrimination on the grounds of religion is also not tolerate as any other form of discrimination . 
as warm supporter of secularism , i am therefore ideas do not support . 
the noble idea , each of our citizens have the greatest possible freedom granted , if it to the same degree with the freedom of the other compatible , is the case , there is still obstacles , that is partly factual , partly in the legal nature . 
one of these directives have already been in a very short space of time to be adopted , and i am very optimistic that the other in november during the french presidency will be approved . 
some are not in line with other legislation , for example , the amendment on the procedure in the committees . 
voting , i have to amendment no 38 and the proposed deletion of the list from article 5 , in the permitted cases of inequality on the grounds of age included . 
you have the important question of the guardian on board . 
in this action programme for the first time joint projects are planned . 
it is obvious that the code of conduct , so much more effective , the more countries in the world has just said . 
article 7 of the code undertake the member states to prevent weapons inappropriate exemption passed on . 
. mr president , i admit that i am of the times zurücksehne , in which the european parliament , but also from the various and trade unions demand considerations and measures to constant reduction of arms is made and the question was , as the weapons manufacturing capability civilian production has to be transformed . 
in view of the situation in the world and our continent today , after the end of the cold war and the collapse of the weapons of mass destruction aufrechterhaltenen equilibrium of the horror is concerned , it would be a kind of behaviour irresponsible . 
these weapons are virtually symbol of the anarchy in many places in the world . 
the cfsp includes measures to crisis-management outside the borders of the union , but nothing common defence policy ' . 
this aim , the export of weapons governments , which violate human rights , and in crisis regions or regions , in which a build-up takes place to prevent it . 
the commission has , in close cooperation with the member states actively in the drafting of the joint action of the european union for small arms and light weapons involved . 
the next item is the joint debate on the commission communication on the european research area . 
other elements are the introduction of for longer periods ill-conceived grants halfway between the receive and the institutional funding to be found ; the use of in the treaty , the proposed instruments ' with variable geometry ' , in particular the participation of the union national programmes , which is , in fact , article 169 of the treaty provides for . 
this hierarchisierenden nature , we want to promote , and this will depend on the förderform . 
you say that you dächten , a total shake-up of the framework programme . 
i believe that we need today to the european research area a structure gives , that is to say something about the framework programme and above the national programmes , only to be added we need a strukturierendes element , in other words , we must methods are about to introduce . 
with regard to the discussions with the stoa-referat is concerned , i believe we must work together to do something , because parliament , the joint research centre and zukunftsforschungsinstitute in the individual member states are concerned . 
obviously are taking place , the commission resolutely to the implementation of the european research area . 
it is a whole chapter on science and society and citizens . 
there have been contacts with the authorities in greece , in ireland and portugal , so that the governments of these countries and ask the commission projects in the context of the cohesion fund as soon as possible on the table . 
perhaps that is the lack of a service , you have just mentioned , and it is in the last commission was only the cohesion fund devoted to blame , that you do not have more concrete information . 
my second question is as follows : in addition to the cohesion fund , there is the community support frameworks , the structural funds , the pep , etc. the which countries were to give you the final projects tabled and which programmes which countries have you have already approved ? 
in 1989 , the commission has a new proposal , the greater flexibility , as they offer . 
i know that the statements made by mr bolkestein to appreciate , and i know that one of the principles in the treaties is that foreign companies are not would have to pay more than domestic , but the general rules for fair competition in europe , here too , to be applied in cases are disproportionately high taxation , we should have the effect in mind that the competition law in this situation , even if , in general , that these issues within the competence of the member states are subject . 
if you fuel to save money , then by levies on this subject and not through other besteuerungsformen . 
mr purvis , i would reply that the problem of the natural , regional disadvantages is probably a matter of national governments , lives a part of their electorate in those outlying regions and peripheral regions . 
. mr president , thank you , madam commissioner , for your information . 
in the last spring , and this summer , the european commission has a general review of its activities and its personnel to be carried out . 
there are such tasks . 
they will increasingly tourists and business people exploited , which , remarkably often , come from europe . 
the commission believes that all companies in a position in good time on the final changeover to the euro to prepare , including adapt their computer systems and the software . 
the theoretical political discussion is no longer on the agenda , we can the dangers of a referendum in general debate , but perhaps to a different occasion . 
this also applies elche . 
recently , it was the french authorities is a reminder sent . 
with regard to the candidate countries , i can tell you that on this issue meeting with them that have taken place and interim agreements were concluded . 
during the frühjahrsaussaat so that the commission , cases of objections of imported seed of all kinds of conventional plant types note , including cotton , the traces of genetically modified seeds herself . 
since i am , however , with its services kurzgeschlossen , i am in a position to inform you that the basic safety requirements in relation to computers for private or functional use in a directive on electrical products of the so-called niedrigspannungsrichtlinie and also in the directive on transmitters and equipment established . 
would he agree that we have wrongly distinguishes between safety and security in the classroom or the safety of a child , at home at the computer is sitting ? 
perhaps shaking the hand of president khatami . 
aung san suu kyi lives now de facto under house arrest . 
that is why i am very hesitant , the trade more to be involved or further measures in relation to trade or investment programmes . 
question no 15 by ( h-0769 / 00 ) : 
it referred , for example , to forbade they visited had . 
questions nos 16 to 44 will be dealt with in writing . 
we are calling for a consolidated european report , this parliament examined and published . 
instead , as with the other weapons producing countries in the world to compete , we should instead on the changeover to the civilian production focus . 
the five permanent members of the security council , whose task is about our security to ensure should heed these proposals and as quickly as possible , an agreement have been negotiated , of the 21st century worthy . 
the debate today marks an important step in the process of reform , the commission under mr prodi , about a year ago , has been . 
i am suggests , the idea that the commission in the race to producing a proposal within the reformweißbuch set time-frame , it is not did all individual points be considered in precise detail . 
for this reason , i suggest that both the financial controller , as well as the internal auditor detailed annual reports on their work to be drawn up . 
in the van hulten report by the commission recommended separation rightly worse and a workable approach for the exchange of best practices between the institutions is needed . 
that should here . i hope they will not repeat it . 
if we provisions for the great institutions to take , then the committee of the wise men calling for the independence of the whole line . 
we have in the past , very often seen how long the decision-making process in the applicants to disappointment and a loss of confidence in the european institutions . 
i should like the commissioner to say that this report is only an intermediate step means that it is the first step in building a bridge between the current system and , after the reform . 
that is the proposal before us . 
only if they are in a position will also sampling choice , which often control , be watered down . 
a simple declarations , in addition , we are all aware that this is certainly not an easy thing . 
i am referring , of course , that we have neither as politicians , as the technicians in a position that the problem alone to address . 
fortunately , there is a growing , however , the overwhelming majority of children and young people in a are behind bars because none of these problemmerkmale suffers . 
i agree with the president of the commission fully that such a list of the similarity with a constitution , is to be drawn up . it is for me , of course , that the principle of subsidiarity must be strengthened and that the eu of many policies interfering , whose responsibilities does not transcend borders . 
information from the world , and all wissensgebieten within a very short time into the house delivered , and the communication around the world is for them to be an everyday occurrence . 
they were quickly arrested and stated in relation to the police officers : ' is strange , in the series , it is not so quickly taken . 
the legislator - and i shall end , not of everything , but it must , at times to the rights and duties of every point . 
in addition , i have some sympathy for the comments on education , training , the capacity of interpersonal of pictures and raise the awareness of the young generations , the media critical and not anything , at some point , in any way to look at them . 
nothing will in the development currently views the harmful effects than if a report like this never progress or no to greater mobility or at least is unable to eliminate the obstacles which ausbildungsmobilität today is concerned . 
in the various countries are viewed problems : it is , for example different rules in the fields of social security , grants , residence and tax law or the lack of a common recognition of diplomas and praktikumsaufenthalten . 
it is time that europe is the proper implementation of programmes such as socrates and youth for europe is once again attention . 
the experience with the mobility of students and , lecturers show that the real shortcomings , this is not in the first instance in education , but in the social and fiscal occurrence . 
as an example of this was the socrates programme included . 
it must be a clear monitoring , a clear control , but subject to spot , and , above all , we must alia , a web is to be established where the school pupils and students their complaints to make . 
we therefore call upon the inclusion of the category of researchers in the scope of the recommendations . 
but that is easier said than done . 
the joint debate is closed . 
we appreciate your approach to set an example of president jacques chirac or by foreign minister , joschka fischer orientation . 
the union must , in the foreign policy to speak with one voice and a common defence and sicherheitsfähigkeit develop . 
what we need is a entscheidungsforum to deal with the problems for both sides of central importance , such as the migration , that the shift of production factors , or the energy supply . 
in the resolution on the reports of the commission , that you , to vote later , this issue very closely . 
the slowdown indicators will be an assessment of the progress that has been made possible . 
in addition to the ministerial conference and the organising the conference to be held on the equal treatment in the profession should still have two important , in particular of the equality summits , but in the area of the council ' employment and social affairs ' reports texts mentioned . 
the second concerns the principle of non-discrimination , including the ban on discrimination on grounds of sex . 
with regard to the reports , i would like to say , the president-in-office of the council has also mentioned - that the important cultural differences , of course of the great problems within the eu . 
even the reports we are discussing here , represent reflect this . 
we must check that the directive on equal treatment is actually included in the legislation . 
i believe that this is the first time in finland applied procedures for very many areas can be implemented , and this as part of the gleichberechtigungsstrategie of the commission is still much to expect . 
on behalf of the equality of opportunity , the french women , thanks to the european union has the right of night work has been obtained . 
as a french a citizen is a point of view of the world , particularly is foreign . 
in spite of these comments , we shall vote in favour of this report , because we are , of course for equal opportunities , but equality of opportunity , in other words , in particular that any respected . 
who mothers of the freedom of choice , their own children without remuneration to educate them , receives short or long into account in the form of juvenile and of vandalism presented . 
i would remind you in this context to our report on breaking-up of in the event of divorce , that , finally , the benefits for the survivors and are of retirement age in the directive 1979 involved . 
the polish women were very grateful that we have been made clear that the representative , who was not the position of the polish women recorded . 
greater involvement of women at all levels of government and in all walks of life is an essential condition for the deepening of democracy and for the achievement and the preservation of peace . 
finally , i should like to comment on the situation of women in the countries on their accession to the european union to be preparing for accession . 
the council , and not least the men in him , has in this area is an enormous task , europe in the fight against the mafia . there is no accountability politicians can trafficking in the shade schulterzuckend ignore or ignored . 
the reports and speeches that we are currently analysing , we will be able to see what many of us have already been clear , namely that this issue of equal opportunities are structural in nature and global strategies for his solution needed , because we women are neither a category is still a homogenous social group and , we do not of a group . 
in fact , i have with some regret to note that maria de belém roseira these items is not the person . 
two your speakers have new social , new steuerrechte touched on . 
thirdly , they are the basis for a strategy at the level of the european union - even in the case of the charter of fundamental rights , it was very important that we have a summary of the current situation available - but also at national level , since the member states on the basis of comparative assessment of national objectives . 
the debate is closed . 
these amendments must in the new context of the interinstitutional agreement will understand , and that is why parliament cannot ignore these amendments on the comitology , because it by the new interinstitutional framework in some way irrelevant . 
however , i believe personally , that the , at the time , parliament adopted the text of the new realities of the single market and the liberalisation of the markets is much better account bore , since the elements of the control and information , which is not accepted amendments contain were , a greater guarantee we offered , that the rules are observed and implement the same procedures . 
if we want to see the countries of the commitments to accept , the european community as the first ensure , for the respect of their own rules to ensure , because if a country has the possibility of products on schmuggelwege on the market of the community , why should it be the trouble with us any permits negotiate ? 
in the same way , the amendment of the parliament concerning the papierlose registration , been taken on board by the council , the customs administrations of the member states , with the latest automated verwaltungsinstrumenten provide . 
but now it is too late , because you have just for having taken the vote , and the members in favour . 
votes ( continuation ) 
report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) by mrs dybkjær , on behalf of the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities on the annual reports of the commission ' equal opportunities for women and men in the european union - in 1997 , 1998 and 1999 ' ( com ( 1998 ) 302 - c5 ­ b5-0106 / 1999 ) ( com ( 1999 ) 106 - c5-0289 / 2000 ) ( com ( 2000 ) 123 - c5- 0290 / 2000 -1999 / 2109 ( cos ) ) 
( fr ) i shall not the first time an opinion on the mobility of students and , lecturers . 
the report is even more important than it for the european union the crucial moment of the forthcoming enlargement . 
discrimination cannot through the creation of additional management units to be tackled , but only in the minds of the people . 
- ( fr ) i have not in favour of the report is a man who voted , because everything is in fact necessary seeking equal treatment in employment and profession needs therefore still not overload went so far that the protection of the freedoms and the respect of the rule of law is totally forgotten . 
based representatives of secularism , of the separation of church and state , could i agree . 
- the snp welcomes this directive and its objective of discrimination in the workplace to put a stop to it . 
if the directive acceptable , and to implement it must not with literature and wishful thinking overloaded , in a legislative text has nothing to be there . 
strong reservations , the eplp has , however , on the following areas : 
there is also issues , such as the implementation as a whole , the training for certain age groups of workers , the nature of a schlichtungssystems and the interpretation of this directive on the part of the smes should , in our view be left to the member states . 
it is right to mr van hulten in the interview that we can only be a positive agenda start if we issues such as fraud and waste , but also a lack of efficiency and effectiveness in the decision-making process has to be resolved . 
the reasons for my approval of this report are mainly with the question of closer relations of the european union to nato and the rapid implementation of a common defence policy . 
the report also to the european action , as the solution for future regional conflicts in the border regions of europe to be discussed . 
however , i do not accept that this with the call for a common defence policy and a european security and defence policy within nato . 
. ( el ) the children are the first victims of violence on television . 
i welcome the fact that the results of this study is now available . 
at community level , we will also have a expertenausschuss with the task , a memorandum be drawn up , the general principles for the protection of minors in the media , it contains . 
dybkjær report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) 
. ( el ) it is interesting , for the first time , the need to be recognized , the effectiveness of the annual reports of the commission resulting political initiatives to judge . 
peru 
. mr president , peru is currently experiencing times of uncertainty , and we all hope that the current situation by means of a process to be resolved in which all civil and political rights be guaranteed , the strengthening and consolidation of democracy and peace in peru is , a country which , in the last 15 years 25 000 deaths cause to complain . 
the word ' democracy ' . 
. mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the conditions under which , in may this year in peru elections left were unacceptable . 
b5-0793 / 2000 by mrs ainardi and others , on behalf of the group of the confederal group of the european united left / nordic green left , on the situation of women in afghanistan . 
that is why i welcome the fact that the decision to make a few clear points about the situation of women , it contains and draw attention just how important the help you are giving me the further total discrimination against women by taliban-führung to prevent it . 
the eu has an important task . 
a recognition of any of the member states , so long , as the policy of the violations of human rights and , above all , the systematic discrimination against women will continue . 
this and the fact that the money from the crops to buy weapons used , we in the european institutions in mind . 
however , it will the neighbouring countries in the improvement of their opportunities for drugs have decided to support it . 
i believe that the time for the appropriate way to remember that the european union to compassionate policy towards latin america should be drawn up , which is probably could prevent that these countries should regularly crisis are currently experiencing , as it on several occasions have arisen . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the commission , such as the house welcome the release of the spanish jesuitenpaters alejandro matos castro in the last week . 
b5-0782 / 2000 by mr haarder , on behalf of the group of the european liberal , democrat and reform party to macedonia : law on universities and universities . 
that is why we are all very pleased that this problem of higher education is now at last , perhaps a really good solution against . 
in my opinion , this is above all a good example for all neighbouring countries that education is not only hatred planting , as so often happens , but that education , as the cradle for a peaceful , on a multi-ethnic society is used . 
i would also like that we have to find a solution , all parties in the european parliament should have been able to vote in favour of the agreement . 
i should perhaps in the opportunity to point out that the commission in cooperation with the high commissioner , mr van der stoel , already good experience . 
with today 's debate , we should not only our condolences express . first and foremost , we are talking about what has happened , which is why it has been done , as we are in favour of the future will have to remedy the situation and , as now to the commission and the european parliament can help that such an incident does not yet again is going on . 
in any case , we have to do with this joint motion for a resolution agreed and support it in its present form as an urgency , and these reasons , we are opposed to the amendments , which is also in matter of urgency that have been tabled . 
with regard to the amendment on working conditions : this is an issue which is already the subject of a directive , and the amendment is in any case not so much as the text itself . 
this is in favour of the northern and western islands of scotland simply not acceptable , not even for the possible ferry on the north sea of mainland europe , which i hope not too distant future is to be established . 
i welcome the fact that the greek government this exemption now reversed . 
that is why the commission following the sinking of the express samina immediately to the greek government very glibly about with the request information on the application of existing community law . 
i would raise the question and ask you to do so in the bureau to clarify whether after the withdrawal of the friday sittings of certain side the withdrawal of the donnerstags has begun . 
i would like to continue to say that on the part of the european union the mechanisms set in motion , so that we , as soon as the will of the serbian people to be respected , in other words , as soon as one of the electorate kostunicas all-party government has been formed , the following measures : firstly , an immediate lifting of sanctions and , secondly , a wirtschaftshilfepaket in support of the serbian people in the reconstruction of its economy . 
in these hours in the streets of belgrade may decide whether the democratic change now is the case , and whether it peacefully might arise . 
we condemn all acts as provocative thing , in particular , what the holy places in jerusalem . 
we need people - as mr solana said - with this meeting in zagreb symbolic , it is clear enough . 
on schockierendsten is that the israeli police and the army splittergeschosse used to the incursion into the body in dozens of parts zerbersten bullets , the internationally , even in fighting between soldiers forbidden , and now against civilians are used . 
i believe that europe can and must deal in this direction , and it must be clear and act decisively . 
it must therefore to ensure , drawn-out fire as quickly as possible in check . 
provocation , such as the action of mr sharon , who must be omitted . 
this is also happen again today , and that is why the european union , as in all the last few years , in the middle east is not to take on the role of mediator , which the united states alone leaves . 
we will be the serbian people is not our exalted and moral objectives be sacrificed , since it would mean that perhaps thousands of people in serbia and yugoslavia , which is why die . 
finally , i would like to propose as soon as possible and as soon as a new yugoslav government has been formed , with a delegation from the european parliament go there to travel , together with this new yugoslav government plans for the construction of a new of serbia . 
madam president , ladies and gentlemen , it is clear that we in this parliament is today may be a historic day , we are seeing , perhaps the end of one of the last of the cornerstones of a totalitarian dictatorship in europe . 
. mr president , there is a problem , and in the german issue for the topical and urgent debate are only - i do not know whether in the other language versions can happen - only the amendments tabled by the group of the european united left , but none of the motions for resolutions , and certainly not the joint text . 
. mr president , i just wanted for the members of the pile attention , shows that the documents we this week withdrawing is needed . 
if parliament , the council decision of the amendments have to submit , would also be sure to unemployment and social problems of croatia to say to the country mandated diet should be assessed , but in this context , there are for such amendments have no legal basis . 
this is the opportunity for the same objectives in relation to the activities of the eib to demand . 
. mr president , yesterday evening , we have here on serbia and the it revolutionary changes mentioned . 
that is why i would like very much , ladies and gentlemen , in particular , but also to the council , we call , in the coming months in the negotiations on the budget for next year , and for the years later , as close as possible of the commission 's proposal to stay , in my opinion , the entire cost in croatia , but also in other parts of the balkans is still the best interpreted . 
in 1990 there democratic elections be held under international judgment , fair and free . 
that is why ' yes ' to this financial assistance , ' yes ' to this guarantee , but at the same time , the vigorous call on the commission , this deeply european and really democratic and constitutional governed country massive support , and it is in the number of the applicant countries , because i believe that croatia has our full backing deserves . 
like the rapporteur , i am therefore wondering whether the money is really to be made available , above all , because it then is the situation that will soon large flows of serbia flow and the budget of the union has not increased . 
even the delegations of the croatian and of our parliament have asked the council the mandate of the eib that it should be extended . 
i hope that there will soon contacts and , as well as croatia to the serbian people our , which deserves the greatest credit , assistance is provided . 
( the minutes were approved ) 
in this sense , we are asking the women in the european parliament delegation to participate . on tuesday and wednesday we will be a call to start up , we shall signatures easily have got together and the reports for participation in the delegation , in contrast , precisely with the aim , between the women bridges of peace to propose a there instead of violence , there is . 
overall , there was both basques , as well as spanish new suffering inflicted ; the spanish and basques have had enough of the current conflict . 
madam president , you will recall that i at the last meeting on the plight of the british pro-democracy of democracy , james mawdsley pointed out by the burmese authorities unlawfully recorded . 
madam president , it is really the rules of procedure . 
this is technically concurrent report , not to major political changes , it seems , is in reality is very important , because it on reintroducing the possibility introducing genetic engineering in viticulture is applied and therefore genetically modified products in viticulture . 
if we on the report does not take a vote , it will have a delay . 
the conseil d ' etat - as you said - that this appeal is rejected , and this rejection rightful form informed . 
today is repeated , however , is such a case , the members of the european people 's party , but not in my political camp in italy to be consulted . 
that is why we are committed for the introduction of a social scoreboards , as also for the internal market , with clear measures , with dates , with . 
i hope , madam minister , it is the council to the expectations of the european parliament inspiring and i hope you will be able , at the summit in nice ambitious objectives in a european social policy agenda to fix them , we in the next few years to work together . 
following the informal meeting of the council ' employment and social affairs ' on 8 july in paris was the presidency , all the relevant actors - is , of course , the european parliament , the economic and social committee , the committee of the regions , the social partners , ngos and the working groups and committees of the council - asked him its proposals to communicate them . 
the debate on the dismiss the quantitative and qualitative aspects is inappropriate , and in lisbon has been a clear is the dual objective defined : more jobs and höherqualifizierte jobs . 
this mobility must be encouraged and , at the same time , the protection of the professional career be guaranteed . 
we must try , which is still in the system of existing gaps to specify and also to name and , in any case , on the agenda . 
the open method of coordination , i must say that it is the right way to secure a social europe . 
the implementation of the lisbon proclaimed social objectives requires community efforts , an action plan for the creation of jobs in the service sector and , above all in the area of the information society . 
the commission can , of course an important contribution , but the social problems are regional enshrined and with great sensitivity to the specific conditions to be dealt with . 
the social dimension has served as compensation for the folgenschwersten effects of the economic policy . 
it would have been better to the commission 's original proposal , as it was to congratulate you , commissioner . 
it is an ambitious agenda , and i can remember it well , such as difficult , we in the last parliamentary term in social protection progress has been reached . 
i think it would be very well , women to support their family and professional life to reconcile . 
sometimes , i have the impression that the concept of modernisation is often the erosion of social protection is meant . 
what are the main content characteristics ? 
but it is difficult for european objectives should be set for all the member states are equally valid , because the reality is proving very different . 
there have been 49 of the amendments by the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities . 
in an amendment proposes a year here in parliament to have a debate on the subject , together with the commission to implement it . 
a further point is the greater support for the community , in view of the need for additional initiatives , including , if necessary , the implementation of legislation and equality and the fight against discrimination . 
it has , in the past is not good ideas and plans for equality between the sexes dates , but unfortunately that is its implementation is often failed . 
it is not acceptable that the voice of women from a handful forderungsprofis hostage public money is alive . 
it is about equality between women and men in the civil field enabling women , in the full benefit from the human rights and fundamental freedoms . 
i expect that finally also male players begin and outdated of gender and to combat it . 
we must , however , i would like to thank our debate are persecuted , because their presence during the whole debate was actually not provided for . 
competition policy 
we are our businesses , the best conditions guilty , so that they have their production and not least its future can plan for the future . 
the consumer must have access to a large range of quality products attractive prices , and this is ultimately the reason that we should have as much on the internal market and free competition , because that is our citizens to benefit from it . 
that is the beihilfenentscheidung or nichtbeihilfenentscheidung in the field of coal . 
paragraph 16 in the report by mrs riis-jørgensen calls for greater legal certainty in the application of the control of mergers and a more efficient and more rapid time treatment in the case of recourse to the courts . 
in all these cases , we are talking about public companies sufficient financial capacity is not a management , but previous or current monopoly as a result . 
we need to increase the participation of citizens in the information on competition policy , so that it benefits recognises . 
they are for the economy and employment in the regions is very important , and i hope that this aspect in future to be made clear , so that these national aid for the regional development and the regional economy , for example , the transport aid weitergezahlt . 
this communication contains three right messages . 
it is also very much , i would like to thank mr evans for his excellent report on the community rules on state aid to the steel industry and , on the respect , the commission 's report on state aid in the european union . 
the members mrs palacio and mr karas and the other meps , on these issues have spoken , i would like to say that their concerns in the regulation is largely to be taken into account . 
otherwise , we are in our efforts to ensure that the promotion of competition and the consumer a disservice . 
the joint debate is closed . 
with this financing system , article 119 of the ec treaty to be implemented , during the third phase of economic and monetary union is not of the common currency the applicant member states . 
. mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i wish to express my gratitude for the fact that we are still on the proposal for a council directive on the revision of directive 68 / 193 / eec on transport with reproductive of vines can debate , and i hope that tomorrow on a positive vote . 
some of them have on 5 july call beaune their concern in connection with the introduction of gmos in their industry . 
the it contains rules favour is also the creation of vielseitigem justifications reproductive , because it is the best gesundheitsgarantien provide for the effective support for the restructuring of viticulture in the community , the key element of the new of the com in wine is urgently needed . 
it must be loud and clear that it is in no way was needed , the articles of this directive with references in the amendment decree directive 90 / 220 fully to fill , unless one wanted genetic manipulation weinreben with all the power to promote . 
35 to no 40 to accept , which are aimed at the security and managementerfordernisse in accordance with the directive 90 / 220 consistent to transpose it . 
to this end , i would like to say that the house is not invited as such to express an opinion . 
madam president , i am referring to paragraph 14 of this protocol on request for waiver of parliamentary immunity of mr pacheco pereira . 
in the qualified majority , i would like to comment . 
in the weighting of votes , there are also two known options are still on the table : the simple weighting of votes , for which a small majority emerges , or the double majority , but on the basis of the various possibilities , such as double simple or neugewichtete majority or a sort of ' in terms of demographic network ' . 
in addition , the european council without prejudice bedarfsbewertung and coordination of economic and financial aid for the federal republic of yugoslavia , which the european commission and the world bank together are to be transferred , decided that the federal republic of yugoslavia , the first humanitarian emergency aid to the tune of eur 200 million to provide it . 
if i am spontaneously and quite openly my opinion , i would say : how sensitive this issue - the composition of the commission and the voting procedures - may be , the success or failure of nice will not be judged . 
the positive thing was that the heads of state and government of the charter of fundamental rights for their approval , but i should also like to remind you , mr president-in-office of the council , why was this agreement possible ? 
we must the spirit of the treaty of nice is not by unease disclosure and it is in the remaining 50 days of primary importance that the negotiations on the political level to raise . 
in this sense , i should also like to my colleagues from the european people 's party will turn - and i would ask mr poettering that he to listen to me - because , for which we in this parliament , we must also outside . 
after all , what we on the results of the heads of state and government in biarritz in relation to the most complex issues of the reform of the treaty know , the charter of fundamental rights is probably the biggest trophy in nice . 
the council would be to the expectations of the european citizens , which is in line with that , if it is a full consultation of the peoples of the national parliaments tests , in order to the charter of fundamental rights , which is in fact to the needs . 
that is why we are all called upon to the sources of our union to return to the courage , mr giscard d ' estaing and mr olle schmidt had than they 1976 and 1979 on the election of the european parliament in general and direct elections to be decided , and to decide that we 2009 at last , a president of the european union , namely the president of the commission . 
in this respect , i would particularly like to respond to what mr poettering , on the discrepancies between large and small countries has said . 
i would very briefly to the questions of foreign trade policy , because this is a very serious issue . 
this is in any case , something valuable from all the members of the european council stressed . 
a second very positive aspect is the adoption of the charter in its entirety . 
in addition , it seems to me that , in this fundamental issue for the future of the european union and for their decision-making procedures in biarritz advantages on the list were . 
i hope it will succeed in this point to convince to move forward and in nice to enforce . 
i have two specific examples : the right to work is on the right to work in this area , and a number of in the amended , the social charter of the council of europe 's rights are not in the charter of fundamental rights have been taken on board . 
as in the discussions show in the whole of europe , including biarritz , have been conducted , want the larger member states of the smaller partly to a reform of the european union , which is to urge the larger member states pursue direction and their wishes . 
the discontent on both sides are proof of the negotiators that they a reasonable compromise moving . 
the leaders of europe has no clear vision formulated . 
a commission which criteria in the representation of the individual member states is structured , shows little a vision of the future . 
in such a centralized european union should have the small countries less , influence than the small states zweikammernsystem of the united states . 
after the summit el-sheikh , where all the parties involved to resolve tried to bring the violence to put a stop to them and the dialogue between barak and president arafat is once again in motion , we have to be recognized as to how difficult it is , although it briefly seems as if the violence her . 
bad whistle-blowers . they have clearly mr barón crespo are encouraged , things about italy and my party to speak , untrue . 
it is a step forward in the european energy taxation , which so far by the principle of unanimity is being blocked . 
we should not that the small countries fear is that it could direktoratslösungen information . 
in my opinion , the convention has done an excellent job of work , and i am proud that i that body belong has been allowed . 
in the second option , however , in what intervals , the principle of in relation to large and small countries is completely equal rotation should apply . 
the extension of qualified majority voting , together with the codecision procedure on important in areas where the maintenance of article 250 in its present form , the place and the role of the commission in the closer cooperation , and not only to the first pillar - there are a number of elements on the basis of which we immediately will be able to judge whether or not , at the end of the day to be a success or a failure . 
. mr president , i would like to begin by jacques , jacques delors , altiero spinelli and fernand herman , i would like to thank and all vaclav havel , carlo ciampi , joschka fischer , to jacques chirac , by michel barnier to pierre moscovici , chris patten , to costa simitis , without and the many of the current meps to forget since 1999 once again for the great movement in favour of a european constitution is used . 
we should commercial europe not too much criticism - and this has to say to you a socialist - because it has more wealth for all to be created . 
we should at least on this objective , and we do that , we should also say how to achieve . 
i was pleased to see that the recently at the intergovernmental conference presented proposals are totally or partially i outlined views converge . 
. mr president , commissioner , rapporteurs , ladies and gentlemen , you have had have liked to see this morning , a debate on the questions will be taking place , because of those your house felt it necessary , in april this year gave opinion on the intergovernmental conference to add . 
consequently it seems to me , in spite of the respect of the existing constitutional framework difficult - as i say quite frankly , more effect than is an opinion of parliament in the introduction of such cooperation . 
as you know , this means that we have certain political decisions , which is much greater scope than the three i have just listed requirements . 
i myself have stressed that the charter of fundamental rights used method erwägende possibility . 
however , i understand that , apart from the linguistic aspect behind your question is a further concern is hidden . 
for this reason , too , i should like to ask for the form and the content of your initiative , i would like to thank . 
the introduction of closer cooperation should not to create new institutions , in addition to the existing institutions of the union . 
it is the time of the treaties to be revised . 
this general consensus in europe are being violated , the european council , with its refusal of the charter of fundamental rights into the treaties to be included , it is legally binding and the citizens in their rights are violated , access to the european court of justice must be opened up . 
otherwise , i think , will be a europe of the citizens do not have . 
paragraph 8 : the constitution - and i quote - ' of laissées ouvertes ' to be sorted out . 
what has changed since then , could i not explain . 
secondly , it is of inadequate tasks , the questions to one side it is for the future of the union and the interests of the citizens of particular importance . 
mr president-in-office , the transmission that came to the russian clean church , on the eve of the bolschewistischen revolution , an event for the whole world have fatal consequences - in lengthy discussions on the organisation of the roben fastenzeit . 
that is why we need closer cooperation of all the guarantees which the rapporteur has been mentioned : you must all be open , the spirit of the treaties to respect it and the community acquis does not run counter to it . 
at one point , i would like to make . it seems to me is not right , the request be set up - or to move in this direction , in all member states , is a compulsory referendum will be carried out , the proposed amendments to decide . 
we have a very extensive debate on the two issues , which are different nature , but in a that this is a point . 
we are prepared to work towards that , during the meeting in november a vote and the adoption during the french presidency . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
what does ' the introduction of the possibility of a older ' because more than a threat to the in many countries have been much too high retirement age ? 
it is well known to eat pensioners like marmalade , such as the children . 
i have the pensioners who me on the pensioners ' party in the european parliament should be sent , asked whether they like genetically modified wine drink . 
in addition , in exceptional cases standardvermehrungsgut marketed , when the need not by other categories covered . 
i would like to ask you , mr president : places the different costs not therefore also a restriction of free competition in the european union ? 
that is why it was only voted against the report , which i did . 
in spite of the increasing liberalisation in the european union to state aid is still a constructive role in achieving social and economic progress . 
for the environment , the safeguarding of public services and the guarantee equal income for the inhabitants weak regions can this aid is essential . 
we are making to the risk to point out that the eu , according to the consolidation of their control over the significant state aid , the less extensive aid under the pretext into the target for competition between the small and medium-sized enterprises . 
section vi - economic and social committee 
if we look at fälligkeitspläne the implementation of the budget for the categories 2 , 3 , 4 and 7 , we see that only an average 8 % of all commitments by payments covered . 
three years ago , we have with our employment strategy has begun by small and medium-sized enterprises immune chancenkapital . 
parliament wants in two ways to do so . 
only then will the european institutions to their task . 
i should like to take this opportunity to specifically for the budget , the competent vice-president , mr gerhard schmid , for the constructive cooperation thanks . 
we want to see that this committee in its capacity receives , but we cannot allow that , not least on the demands of the european parliament as part of the budgetary authority . 
this means that the year 2001 offers the last total annual budget , and that is also the background for the assessment of the commission 's proposal and the proposal , which we in parliament to make . 
we also want a review of the administrative expenditure . 
since 1985 - notably , since 85 - tried to the parliament 's committee on budgets to ensure that the procedures of the european parliament , the financial impact of the house resolutions to be taken into account . 
i should like to end , mr president , by the other institutions for the care , thank you for the joint declaration on their processed contain could . 
you have today about a budget to decide at first reading by the council is amended . 
with regard to the structural measures , the proposed level of funding in relation to the 2000 budget , in fact they have remained the same . 
the attitude of the council for a review of the financial perspectives is strictly factual . 
if these three different figures look at the fact that there is still substantial differences , even from a purely quantitative terms , of course , also in terms of its content . 
here i must point out that the comitology procedure after a long debate in the last year , a new decision with the council has been , and i have little hope that we re-open this debate . 
in the financial perspective in berlin for the period up until 2006 were for the meda programme 8.1 billion euros . 
that is why i would like the council and the committee on budgets here in parliament call , in its foreign policy considerations in foreign policy to think and not just junction . 
the second concerns the aid for victims of human rights violations of treatment in specific institutions need . 
if here in the forthcoming time to find a compromise solution as a result , the important work of the emac-ausschusses support , we can sort this out , otherwise , we consider the position of our committee is open . 
we need only television are awarded and give us the problems in the middle east have to look at every day anew reminded us . 
that is why i hope that we in the vote tomorrow on the necessary majority in favour of the monitoring centre in dublin . 
. mr president , allow me , on behalf of the committee on agriculture and rural development to make a few comments , first of all on rural development . 
we have the approval indikativer funds to the tune of two million euros for an information campaign on the cfp has been requested . 
the commission must on the very important arguments to negotiate a reasonable agreement with morocco to achieve this , and the role of the council and the governments concerned , it is these negotiations , the political impetus . 
if we look at the 2001 budget today , the images of the serbian population before our eyes . 
overall , we would like to see that these amendments are adopted . 
an important way in which the citizens to be open in order to make its voice heard , is to complain to the ombudsman or petitions to parliament . 
first of all its budget . 
with great surprise of many members from my delegation we adopted early september unanimously kernstrategie 400 amendments , which some of my colleagues have been tabled were came for many of us in the committee on budgets is rather surprising . 
it is difficult to define , as with new posts can be resolved as long as of both the commission and in the council , outdated and complicated methods for the management of the many programmes are applied . 
this parliament has , in recent years repeatedly shown that it truly rigour on the basis of his work . 
it cannot be that over the years very hand on commitments is and always agrees , but when it set of figures , says , we are now too far , because we now need a bit zurückschneiden ! 
if we only a few million on the lines - much more cannot - then we think the speckseite , and if the people they actually need , should we draw back away . 
the budget 2001 was , as the budget of last year , almost not conflicts , on the one hand pressure from the consolidation and a policy of austerity , as in the context of the interinstitutional agreement it was decided to make the funding of enlargement , and on the other hand , the acute finance for the stability pact for the balkans . 
calls for better also include more staff . 
the adoption of this amendment in its original version was the point of departure for a change in the situation , but it is of the committee on budgets rejected by a majority . 
unfortunately , there are many examples : the privileged treatment of the associations , with more federalist objective or of the many ngos , with extremely dubious working methods and views on the financing of european political parties to the levels for the prince programme vergeudeten sums of money , with the european citizens of the benefits of the euro are convinced , during this loss of confidence experiences that the europeans of our danish colleagues to the leaders of the european central bank is largely share . 
finally , mr heaton-harris , with its amendments right to the one-sidedness of many european programmes pointed out , in which the citizens with a propagandastory on european integration , notably at the expense of the citizens themselves . 
in addition , our systems modernised we must also set an example . 
a good example of the latter is the meda programme for the locality of the mediterranean , a geographical area of the utmost strategic importance . 
if some about necessary cuts or the tracking down of funds in category 4 , a number of priorities to finance , then you to remember that parliament priorities . this is what we have in the vote in committee clearly expressed . 
this figure requires clarification . 
thank you , mr wynn . 
it simply means the existence of real elements of flexibility in a particular area in moving forward , while some not or wish , and for the echoed , the same applies for the applicant countries . 
in my opinion , austria is no reason on the outcome to complain about , quite the contrary . 
it could the recommendations of the regional organisations and experience of the neighbouring countries certainly be a valuable contribution . 
in the year in 1984 owned 0.2 % of the landowners in colombia 32 % of the land . 
it is not up to the council , or those aspect of this extremely sensitive and painful issue to comment on . 
but it is not in this way a debate on the issues to begin - as i have said , extremely complicated . 
question no 10 by ( h-0722 / 00 ) : 
i will therefore have been very careful not to have a definitive answer to this difficult issue . 
we only have the feeling , and your answer seems , in some way to confirm that the presidency in the treatment of this issue a little consistency is a lack of this , there is . 
that is why the advent of this tax , of course , not to zero . 
i forgive them , but we must apply the rules of procedure . 
the reason why it is on the right quiet in the past , therefore , that these issues to be clarified , and we believe that we must have the same things , this is not , on several occasions to discuss and our valuable time waste . 
furthermore , a transitional solution to the adoption of this text on the prevention of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies in june 2000 , a decision to phase of risk material in connection with these diseases have been adopted , in order to any further spread of the epidemic to prevent and for the consumer to have the highest possible level of health protection must be guaranteed . 
i furthermore no other information than you have just outlined . 
we are monitoring the work of the commission and the council on package erika i and are well informed , but what these meeresstraße , which is in the two countries , and also in the entire european union is known as an extremely difficult meeresstraße large ships around we only a few hours to save , and there is a risk that old rostkähne somewhere run and a disaster cause , i would have and would have , above all , the inhabitants of corsica and sardinia like to know whether it is possible and whether you are proposing that the crossing by the road of bonifacio for these large ships container is purely and simply to ban it ? 
that is why we should in fact the commission 's proposals for a revision of the personnel policy to support it . 
in the budget for serbia and kosovo new money is needed . 
finally , i would hope that in the budget to eur 50 million the peace agreement israel-plo to finance . 
that is why we in the european parliament , the new measures , which is not so much to the search for further finance - which we already know that it under the current circumstances , but on the establishment of the new interinstitutional commitments in the direction which the quality of the expenditure to be improved and will be achieved , that not one euro wasted . 
remember that , in the european policy , as in any other area of the moderate options may no longer the majority . 
it is rather verdunkelung because of the information , and today the sensitivity attitude in relation to the activity-based budgeting , i am rather disappointed . 
furthermore , the division of action that the budget as a political instrument to understand , in which the distribution of the expenditure clear political priorities reflect it . 
we need to take this opportunity try to find a solution , which several years stock , so that we in this discussion on the financing for the reconstruction of the balkans are not next and year , once again . 
who in the development of a sustainable agricultural sector is of interest , will know that the hauptvorstoß of the recent agreed in berlin reforms is for a continuous transition from price support for products to direct income to farmers to take place . 
a budget is always more than a uninspiring . 
moreover , it is also immoral expenditure for the agricultural policy , for the meda programme , for the socially excluded to cut back , funds for the financing of the obligations of the european union in kosovo and in yugoslavia is to ensure . 
quite simply , serbia , the people in this winter neither freeze are starving . 
on the other hand , i would like my reservations about regrettable that the various formation in the socrates programme . 
the addressed to the council must of course also be said , the council takes its responsibility for the poor implementation of some außenprogramme . 
we need a stable solution for this aid and in even greater extent for the necessary planning for the whole of the western balkans . 
i believe that the majority would be prepared to make such a sum provided to accept that the money properly used . 
i share the concerns and views of the rapporteur , mrs rühle , which it this afternoon in connection with the chapters research and social measures mentioned . 
two weeks ago was the joint parliamentary assembly of the acp countries . 
at the same time , we want , in funds for research and information budgetary resources are used produktionsalternativen for the current tobacco growers to carry out research . 
i very much want to say that the european union , what northern ireland is concerned , the directly and most positive influence had in mind . 
under this model is compliance with the rules and procedures by an independent authority and , in the last instance by the courts is guaranteed . 
so we will be the first time , the codecision procedure at first reading to finish , and this is a very complex and with many technical difficulties flawed text for a sector with regard to the protection of privacy is particularly sensitive . 
it is a very positive that their tasks are not put together . 
is such as we know that in the schengen system over 10 million records on almost 1.5 million citizens is stored that europol , whose powers are constantly expanded , the information from the individual police authorities of the 15 member states centrally soaks , and only , under the control of an authority which neither the powers on the means at its disposal really another job . 
having said that , take the presence of the commissioner to point out that , in my view , not only for the protection of citizens in the light of the new technologies concern , but also for the use of this technology in line with the improved ability of the union 's citizens are awarded and interactive with the european institutions to communicate . 
in amendments nos 1 , 2 , 4 to 10 , 12 to 40 , 42 to 54 , 57 , 58 and 60 to 64 , the text of the council in the points accepted in which the commission can accept . 
it goes without saying that its opinions on the legislative proposals on the protection of personal data is very helpful in this respect a significant contribution to the legislative debate between the institutions to do . 
for example , does the treaty , that the ultra-peripheral regions is a difficult economic and social situation . these are basically good rules through special disadvantages more difficult , which by their permanent stone and their interaction with the development of these regions greatly affect . 
in this way , the strategy on a high level of employment for the promotion of economic and social progress . 
that is the reason why i am mrs sudre , i would like to congratulate we expect with great interest the prescriptive development of the proposals of the commission , so that the special features in accordance with article 299 ( 2 ) of the treaty of amsterdam will soon be taken into account . 
for many europeans are some of the outermost regions , only a tourist objective on the map . 
our unemployment rates are among the highest in the union . 
i am pleased that the committee amendments adopted with a large majority . 
i think it is particularly important that the ultra-peripheral regions in the europe-wide transport , energy and telecommunications networks should be integrated . 
the unanimous approval of our colleague margie sudre 's report by the members of the committee on regional policy is an indication of the loyalty of the european parliament one of its main obligations . 
we can do not have the whole conditions to be discussed and believe that , with the to achieve these satisfactory idyllischen situation - if we how decide to call them - not more , it will be necessary , further measures for the treatment of these three areas , and in particular the outermost regions , which we are discussing today , to take . 
this article will enable us not be able to do everything , but allows us , our action must be strengthened and - i believe is necessary - to be extended and to improve . 
in the preparations for the necessary proposals , the commission is working , of course with the member states and the regions affected together . 
the difficulties of these regions are - as we know , is a lasting nature , and that is why i believe that it according to their actual level of development permanently on the support of the regional policy and special measures need . 
in the course of 2001 could once again , such a meeting to be carried out if we have with the implementation of the in march , the proposed programme a bit of progress . 
the presidency , it was decided that this matter has been completed , and i accept this without any reservations . 
i think that parliament should be best for the current rules , because often - as another colleague has already said - not the equipment , which is not working , but the individual members who have forgotten to the vote , and if you have a vote is subsequently correct , then we would never finished . 
i am in fact , what i eat . 
at the end of the day , mr commissioner , it is , quite apart from the authority of the fact that the relevant services of the commission in cooperation , and in consultation with the member states have a system homogenised and effective controls in the whole food chain are building , and that the network of lebensmittellabors in the european union to be extended and in coordination with the commission to take action . 
since it is in the scientific research is not an overlapping with national institutes and eu-forschungszentren together . 
today we are discussing a white paper , and we are actual some important principles should be set . 
these procedures have been improved and changed also we have in the united kingdom an agency for legensmittelstandards set up . 
finally , i would like to point out that we are also some of the new support the amendments , such as amendments nos 11 to 13 and 7 to 9 relating to amendment no 14 we are calling for a vote without free . 
against this background , i would say the following : firstly , the safety of food can only be guaranteed if strict official controls has carried out , and these controls are each other as efficient as the weakest link in their chain . 
we are talking here about an issue which quite clearly , it appears , such as superficial and substance of our debate on the political unification of europe . 
let us therefore of the european food safety authority alone with the scientific review in cooperation with our national authorities . 
this is important . the most food-borne disease , of which europe today is concerned , there were first on the american continent . 
however , the conditions for recourse to the authority which decided to do so that there will be efficient and rapid action is guaranteed . 
we should also like to point out , as some of the previous speakers have done , and in particular mr whitehead and mrs gebhardt , that the white paper a great deal more than any a new set of rules of the union . 
. mr president , i am today appreciation and pleasure , both in relation to the commission , which the work for a better food safety to be introduced , as mr bowis and the whole of the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy . 
as is particularly important , i think amendment no 17 , in the participation of the consumer organisations . 
a further consideration is the complex review of the legislation on the labelling of foodstuffs , both for the wholesale , but also for the retail trade , which the consumer in relation to the traceability of products and their ingredients at long last be properly informed and the investigation of any of the responsibilities lie with the risks and crises possible . 
new legislation , i think it is not the right response , if the existing provisions are not respected . 
with the vote in the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy , we have managed to a degree of balance back on track , by the scope of the nutrition to be extended , and a number of important references to the role of small and medium-sized enterprises , for the preservation of the different eating habits . 
. mr president , i would like the other members to support and the rapporteur , mr bowis , for his very constructive and logical approach to this problem to be congratulated . 
mr president , the fact that the white paper on food safety itself has no legal force , will undermine the double importance , it is no doubt to play in this regard , it is not doing . 
the rapporteur and a great many members of our committee , including myself , have the emphasis on the food safety authority have been laid , what is actually somewhat regrettable . 
with the independence and integrity of the authority is the position of the european consumer is best served . 
in the course of this process , i have often thought that we in the choice of the rapporteur a happy hand had . 
. mr president , i too would like my colleague , mr bowis , my congratulations for his commendable attempt to make all opinions in his report included , and would like , above all to thank the reference to the broader concept of the food has accepted . 
finally , the policy is not shirk its responsibilities . 
the most important task is , however , that this body for the respect of other scientific bodies , the confidence of the public and the willingness of the governments in the member states will provide its decisions to accept it . 
that is how i see a food authority for the future . 
we have the world health organisation in geneva . 
i verschweige that i am in the publication of the white paper against the authority . 
it is therefore to ensure that the european union on the highest does , but must , in the context of this on the unanimous approval stoßenden approach is also the economic consequences for producers analysed . 
the remit of the authority includes : independent scientific research and consultation , independent controls and inspections and an early warning system , but certainly also coordination in order to restore confidence . 
i would like to take this opportunity to the speakers , a discrete solution in relation to the promotion of local specialities and traditional have demanded , an assurance that this issue in the hygiene rules to be taken into account . 
it will the commission to facilitate , to present a proposal that is balanced , in which the position of parliament and the many players in the field of food safety largely to be taken into account . 
our parliament is concerned , not for the first time on anti-personnel mines , but this issue was in fact , as well as the other , in political terms , the deciding factor for the signing of the convention of ottawa . 
i reiterate my rejection of amendments nos 10 and 19 , and because of the coherence of the budget , and ask for amendment no 29 a separate vote on the various parts of the wording of the whole text which , in my opinion on certain error are suffering , to improve . 
and here , there is the first question is this : the countries which have not signed by the european union , especially the commission , to sign the agreement of ottawa to be encouraged . 
. mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we all know what the consequences of the anti-personnel mines , although it in individual cases are often great military reasons . 
parliament has this issue in 1996 , this is the first time on the agenda than it is a horizontal line and a proper legal basis has asked for a common platform for the broad range of our actions in this important area . 
i can , however , is not hide the fact that the powers of persuasion of the european union as compared with other countries by the fact is limited , that in some member states are still problems regarding the signing and ratification of the convention . 
the effectiveness of , mine action is the biggest if this individually on the special conditions of the respective situation in our sights . 
parliament will know that many , as you know , we want with our proposals on the reform of the external assistance from the expensive examination of individual projects is what we have to focus and in the discussion with the member states instead general strategies and programmes focus . 
many ngos have been established with this problem to deal , but we have four years after the first , the united nations conference on the issue of landmines in geneva and on a year after the entry into force of the convention of ottawa to say that many countries and thousands of people , mainly in the poorest regions of the world , is still in dramatically the scale of the risk of anti-personnel and munitions and ammunition , which is not is exploding , face . 
the commission must the quality of their programmes to improve and their implementation speed . 
if these amendments , once again have to look very carefully , you will , in my view , but to say that some of your of these amendments information campaigns , transparency , access to the ngos of appropriations and things which are currently being rather function properly , whose effectiveness could be improved . 
mrs bonino and mr patten is also right , with its view that parliament and the council from the administration be ignored , and i have to mr patten on this point very carefully listened , because it obviously of the opinion is that we should still less to be involved . 
. mr president , our group is committed for many years for the whole range of in this area demands that are necessary and actions - from produktionsstopp on the destruction of minenbestände , the attitude of the marketing , the dismantling of the mines , to the rehabilitation of the casualty and public awareness . 
then , it is the task of the member states for this process at international level to support it . 
the mines are , of course , a major obstacle to the reconstruction in these countries , and also for the return of refugees . 
in the current rate of dismantling , we would - as was said earlier - far more than 100 years , we need to make the world of anti-personnel mines cleaned . 
the third area i see concrete measures which we propose to check and understand . 
every child in bosnia , africa and elsewhere minentod or terrible injuries to maintain the effort we are all worth it . 
it must , in fact pressure on the countries be exercised , which has not yet been signed , such as finland , or has not yet been ratified , such as greece . 
ladies and gentlemen , look at it in finland . 
and finally , we hope that , in the context of the future tasks of the common european forces a skilled workforce trained , especially people on the spot , which is something that the mines will disappear . 
and it is worth emphasising , nor that of the list of the most affected countries in particular the developing countries . 
parliament 's demands could hardly be more clearly contrary to the aims of lisbon . 
the rapporteur , mrs van lancker , that parliament amendments to the proposal from the commission decided , in particular by throughout of different areas in which legislation is right and the establishment of certain rights at european level . 
for example , the luxembourg process for employment policy , on the social protection and social exclusion should be extended . 
the major powers , germany , france , great britain and also , to some extent , italy , are all agreed that the small eastern or southern european countries , which the european union want to join their rule for approval . 
we think , however , for legal reasons for the mark , they are already in 6 teu , because it in the convention - its structure , in accordance with - not formally decided , and therefore no legal stock . 
the incorporation of the new texts in the treaties could become legal uncertainty . 
moreover , the rapporteur the mouthpiece in brussels modern new theory of the so-called dual legitimacy of the european union , namely by the european parliament 's citizens and by the council 's member states . 
the swedish and danish social democrats have today against the report by oliver duhamel of constitutionalisation of the treaties in the vote . 
to this end , the european union in the direction of a constitution to develop the charter of fundamental rights on board . 
a constitution would only make sense if it democratic framework for a genuine european federation , a sort of the united states of europe . 
he said that he is in line with a large proportion of the political class reached the conclusion that our relations with the other countries prefer by an international treaty regulated would like to know . 
. i welcome the report by mr duhamel as interesting and constructive contribution the concept of constitutionalisation of the treaties . 
we are of the opinion that a reorganization and simplification of the treaties make it easier for people , the competence of the eu - and their borders - and the procedures for the exercise of this responsibility clearly . 
until the treaty of amsterdam in 1997 was europe an intergovernmental supersyndikat . 
the group for a europe of democracies and diversities is voting against the report by gil-robles gil-delgado on closer cooperation . 
it reveals the view of a too monolithic of the european union , in any form of cooperation within a single institutional framework ' dramas and on the aim of a superstate focused . 
that is why we need a general slowdown is to be avoided by certain member states by the development of closer cooperation , a more rapid action as possible . 
the structures of the internal market to function since the beginning of the 1990s very successful . 
- ( nl ) the cooperation at european level can for resolving cross-border problems useful . 
these regions could as excellent versuchsstation for sustainable development opportunities is used . 
the technocrats and the european judges wanted , for example , the dock ' octroi de mer ' be abolished , our citizens in the overseas departments resources care and , above all our craftsmen protects . 
france , on the other hand , has departments in the indian ocean and in the caribbean . 
its independence is a condition sine qua non for its credibility . 
our vote has therefore to clarify the role and the composition of the planned european authority has contributed , but it has our requirements their funding and its independence to be clarified . 
secondly , we need the european agency completely independent . 
we need the nature of the agricultural and agroindustriellen practices , the problem of nahrungsgüterimporte , the composition of the components of the feeds , the ceilings for dioxin and pesticide additives for food and other into account and food safety to give priority to . 
we have for amendment no 15 in the vote , because we have the defence of the cultural heritage of europe in the field of food production on the ground are close to my heart . 
in virtually no area of expenditure subject are left us with a room for manoeuvre . 
as we want is now also 50 % in the budget line and 50 % in reserve . 
the question is how this consistent , we can . 
report ( a5-0300 / 2000 ) by mrs haug , on behalf of the committee on budgets on draft general budget of the european union for the financial year 2001 - section iii , the commission ( c5-0300 / 2000 - 1999 / 2190 ( bud ) ) 
madam president , my name appears under several of the amendments to this report . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) explanations of vote 
the real surprise this budget is in the external policies , where selfishness and miserliness prevail . 
the use of the flexibility instrument can resources is released . 
. ( el ) i voted against the haug report and for the proposal by my group , the general budget for 2001 , should be rejected , voted for . 
we bear in mind in particular to the new pilot project which measures to combat paedophilia financed . 
not least shows little commitment to the eu project , even under the politically active citizens . 
in this way , under 20 to 30 % of the markets , once again for the private competition . 
as this traceable report is not covered , i have voted against the report . 
if you look at the unacceptable low national thresholds , which the aid sea-life , in connection with the proposed cuts rücknahmemengen to 5 % citrus 8.5 % apples and pears and 10 % in the other fruit and dry , then , it is quite clear that a huge quantities processed fruit and vegetables is no longer to be sold what the prices as a whole deprive fruit and vegetables on the fields and in the flax verrotten and thus the farmers force their plantations to grub up . 
i have voted in favour of this report because it to the expectations of the portuguese organisations of the fruit and vegetable is in line with a drastic revision of the com in fruit and vegetables have demanded , because they believe that these national interests deeply into disrepute . 
report , mr johan van hecke ( a5-0296 / 2000 ) 
the root cause lies in the fact that everything , even the quality of the environment and the climate of the capitalist exploitation of the productive resources and the superprofits is sacrificed . 
the starting point in kyoto was that the rich countries their air purely , to a limited extent have the opportunity , with its assistance in other countries achieved emissions subsequently on their own ergebnisliste to be achieved . 
- ( fr ) the struggle against the greenhouse effect is a great challenge for the industrialised countries and a duty , particularly with regard to the people of the third world , the consequences of climate change is already with their lives to pay . 
the art of life , with these risks and uncertainty is appropriate to deal with this . 
even the efforts of the alleged endocrine effective substances exact to researching - perhaps with the help of a legal framework - to be extended and intensified . 
consumers and the small and medium-sized enterprises with the introduction of the euro fait internal market is not sufficiently profit . 
the banks are up to now by the member states are obliged , cross-border payments of eur 12 500 zahlungsbilanzstatistischen purposes of its central bank to arise . 
it is , of course apply the same strict requirements in relation to security and money laundering . 
we know that even cases in which puzzled by the cross-border payments after the introduction of the euro should be increased , and not only a small amount . 
the european central bank , could help , and with the implementation of a single european datenformats in payment transactions and with the support of the implementation of a single european bic within the international iban-systems . 
the fact that the consumers of the euro to accept , is of crucial importance . 
madam president , the report by mrs peijs on the retail in the internal market takes up the old demand of the european parliament with regard to the high costs for the cross-border payments in the european union . 
the peijs report , that is , in recital d of the draft resolution itself , where it means that the high fees for transpired ' consumer confidence in the euro , have shocked ' . 
there is still a lot to do this , but the resources and potential of the politicians , what we can do in this area less than our room for manoeuvre in the question of payment systems in the internal market . 
the formulas will continue as saw , and the citizens cannot understand that in this area in which of exchange rate risks disappear and the electronic means of payment internet-banking increasingly , of course , the transfer of munich salzburg considerably more expensive than the transfer of munich kiel . 
at the implementation of this objective , we , as well as for many years to work . 
on this occasion , we shall also have a shorter duration of the management of cross-border payments , as in the report by mrs peijs pressures . 
the joint debate is closed . 
the right policy is a pragmatic and kmu-nahen approach to the priority to small businesses at the heart of the means , and it is not a proposal , under the pretext circles in order to avoid serve only proper statistics to produce practical that we serve no useful purpose . 
but , in particular , i have to make three comments on this programme . 
it should be remembered that the first a community plan of action in this area in 1983 , which has been adopted , i.e. 17 years . 
i am also always been that this on the basis of an efficient and pragmatic policy . 
i would , as a genuine outposts of the economy and innovation call on the front line and in these areas of the existing risks directly face . 
finally , we also need the results of the manner of science and governance ' last week in brussels under the aegis of the institute for technology foresite in seville has taken place , and the follow-up to this organising the conference to be held to take this into account , because there are many connections to our current issue . 
the rapporteur lists several focal points to make the framework conditions for companies in europe is to improve . 
that is good for europe , because technically correct , competent and rapidly can be helped . 
. mr president , i too would like to add my thanks for the excellent work by mrs montfort support . 
it is well arbitration has been to avoid a situation in the people constantly at the expense of other fail . 
this is unfair , which is why i supported this report . 
this is also the guiding principle of the charter for small enterprises . 
the programme will designed that this information on the networks will have to be made available . 
the main aim of this plan are clearly the control of immigration in the countries of the european union and the readmission of all in europe are illegal crazy in their home . 
in particular , i would like to point out that measures to improve internal security , to step up the dialogue between the europeans and the local authorities in albania and , as far as the commission and the council is concerned , in cooperation with the albanian , the italian and the greek authorities targeted actions are required . 
the lack of social , economic and political conditions in combination with lack or defective legal certainty and organised crime will lead to massive migrations . 
. mr president , unlike mrs pack , i take the view that the more groups with albania , the better , it is . 
of course we can not immediately a solution for the whole issue , but in the medium term , we need a world with proper justice , security and redetermine . 
in addition , there is a gap between the donors - we , the european union , and the united states - the financial resources , projects put them out to tender and persists , on the one hand , and of the local population on the other hand . 
let us therefore bilateral agreements , which are legally and clearly activities residence , the place of residence , the wages , working hours , working conditions and the conditions enshrine them in law , so that the immigrants to force the economies of our countries forward and instead nationalist aspirations in a spirit of the cold war fuel them friendship and cooperation of the peoples , promotes . 
people will be back , which is partly well integrated . 
we must not be the focus of our attention , as the immigrants and flood in check , but as the situation in the region can be improved , that the people to stay at home . 
. mr president , i believe that , as mr dimitrakopoulos quite rightly said , the central issue in terms of economic , social and internal security for these problems in albania remains is the country in the reconstruction of the rule of law , to ensure the safety for the citizens and the restoration of the profile of the institutions and local administrations to support it . 
i am , as mr liese of the opinion that we have a of sharing the burden asylum and refugee policy is needed . 
the action plan for albania and the neighbouring regions has been in june this year has been adopted , this is therefore of the sixth action plan . 
there is sometimes frustration , but also fremdheit in relation to the european law , and we want for ourselves , but also the other institutions to call the mühsal of the detailed work should not be afraid , specific to work and also have the necessary time and the necessary staff available . 
we want to do with this report as a signal to the citizens send that we have the complaints about the lack of quality of legislation and the complaints about überregionalisierung and centralism seriously . 
of course , that is the issue is extremely important , even though the small number of participants in this chamber the forthcoming debate at first sight dagegenspricht . 
furthermore , raises the report is bound to the question of subsidiarity in this house this evening is somewhat controversial . 
the interest would also that in the light of this principle a list of the legislation are being met simpler , more transparent , more efficient and more focused way and unnecessary legislation to be deleted , as under paragraph 6 of this report that has been proposed . 
after a very detailed examination of the report , i came to the conclusion that it is also no political principle is : it is a theological . 
this means that the recognition of the principle of subsidiarity to the smallest communities , the regional authorities , the intermediary organisations , the social classes , families and the citizens as the only , which really sovereignty on the legislative and the administration to exercise must be guaranteed . 
let me give you a summary . 
i give the floor to the commissioner . 
is it an area which we detail regulate should be guaranteed everywhere is implemented , or should we consider whether a voluntary agreement , on condition that they can be enforced and controlled , an alternative ? 
i have voted in favour of the report , although i with some amendments was not adopted , i am , because it with the high wechsel- and transfer mainstays is concerned . 
if in the fifteen months in eleven member states also have the same coins and notes are put on the market , the procurement of this single currency outside their country of residence expensive . 
. mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i must , first of all to lament the fact that for the fisheries commissioner , mr fischler , today is not here . 
it must be an agreement of the fisheries and the moroccan fisheries sector impetus gives , but also the fishing interests of the european fleets will be fully taken into account . 
consequently , we have on the construction of a responsible partnership agreement with morocco its opinion in a meeting to set out , which , as you have said , on 30 october , on monday , in brussels is taking place . 
a few weeks ago i was in its own algeciras of the spanish shores , north of morocco . 
in the course of time , it has been proved that it is not only and that is difficult , but even go as far as it is impossible to make the point . 
the fisheries agreements , the european union fishing activity must be carried out and with third countries fishing rights harmonise . 
in a swedish fischereifachzeitschrift was to read , as one of these ships its fish in el aaiún country as moroccan port has been described . 
all this is being called into question . it is a question of all our fisheries agreements and not only with morocco , because the agreement with mauritania and will soon with guinea will be tested . 
11 months it is needed in order to have now reached turning point , the meeting 30.10. to come , and in this respect , we also know that the last few measures by commissioner fischler to appreciate that the results of its journey of 26 september morocco and the high level , even with the king pursued discussions . 
but i would like to make a few very brief messages to the commission to pass , which are worthy of commissioner busquin . 
my question to the commission is this : if no agreement with morocco or if this agreement by the commission signalisierten conditions have been completed , an agreement to stimulate the moroccan production , does the commission structural measures to compensate for the backwardness to take in the regions affected arise ? 
as we anticipated had , were the negotiations with the moroccan authorities is extremely difficult . 
if this undesirable outcome of the failure of the negotiations , the union has finally , the political and moral duty , the fishermen and shipowners with sufficient aid to support them their livelihood secure . 
the over-capacity of the fishing industry in the eu must be dismantled . 
that is why we need this as quickly as possible to close economic and political relations with morocco , while the implementation of our european fishing interests . 
therefore , the commission is working on the basis of a new , for both sides useful partnership , which on the one hand to the full support of the fisheries sector in morocco , the fleet aquaculture , the industrial processing and research and , on the other hand , the granting of fishing opportunities for european fishermen covers . 
rights of lecturers 
that is not only in the german language is an obvious difference . 
in july 1999 , the commission of this treaty infringement proceedings before the court of justice . 
if it is not the long-awaited harmonisation of the systems must , therefore , as the situation today , respect for the subsidiarity principle does not mean that what is probably a call for a privilege , as discrimination dismissed . 
it is true that the previous commission under mr santer was perhaps not the best , why was it . 
members of the committee on legal affairs and the internal market from the whole union and from all parties have are gathered here , in order to put on record that there is no point , on the rights and rechtschartas enter , if you do not real intervening cases in which human rights are denied , effective measures , so that they will be recognised and enforced and that is in this case , the problem . 
that is , in a modern europe is not acceptable . 
it is true of the education under the principle of subsidiarity , but in the context of the treaties are the free movement of workers and discrimination to all of us on board , although we are - and i particularly , because i from a federal state now - the principle of subsidiarity as federation of cooperation in the european union acknowledge and ensure that this as quickly as possible kompetenzaufteilungen between the levels in europe , in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity in order . 
in this respect , it cannot discrimination . 
. mr president , would you from an excellent , as all chocolate-lovers surgical concepts in italian , french and german or by a surgeon operate ? 
( the sitting 10.56 p.m. ) 
we are talking about them our deeply deepest sympathy . 
the floor is yours , mr ceyhun ; he is talking about as the rapporteur and also on behalf of the socialist group . 
with regard to the statements by the council and the commission on the third asem tells us that the council that it is currently no statement wishes . 
that is why it is a question , which , according to the treaties and the euratom treaty within the competence of the commission ; it concerns many citizens or many citizens are concerned , and not only spaniards , because in this area and in their , for which it is not even a contingency , hundreds of thousands of european citizens from the 15 member states of the european union live , apart from the many from outside , because it is , after all , the costa del . 
madam president , it is a sad fact that , but very interesting , from the spanish minister for the interior , mr mayor oreja to hear that talks with the basque nationalists pointless were , even if a future for a cease-fire herausspränge . 
may i to enquire whether this week to make a statement by the commission on the british government 's decision is planning to have a discriminatory tax nichtbritische hauliers to introduce them ? 
since the so-called liberal parties , the european , more and more which tend to do with a xenophobe racist and authoritarian like-minded forces to ally , it is not just a serious risk of italy , but it is a sign of a problem , the whole of europe is concerned . 
the report also contains critical comments on the french proposal . 
these demands are the subject of amendments nos 2 and 4 of the report karamanou . 
the initiative of the french presidency , we are debating today , on the objective , the two aforementioned general rechtshilfe-übereinkommen in criminal matters , especially in the area of the fight against money laundering , to improve . 
i can say that if the idea of combating money laundering damaged , then it is the fault of the council and not of parliament . 
with regard to the results of their work , we can only congratulate . 
the way to achieve a result , of course , as mr marinho says - and i agree with this wholeheartedly , on the communitisation . 
all speakers agreed until now agree that this is a very valuable initiative , and we agree . 
europol must borders operate . 
that there is still too much in our modern europe , and before i have a hurried recognition , i would like first of all the mutual recognition of fair standards to be reinstated . 
i understand that it is very difficult , because we in the construction of a fragmentation of the instruments . 
this is also a need for the economic community , the european union to strengthen , and it is also a desire of the citizens , which we need to take into consideration , because the citizens of the european union have a right to security . 
we must in the european union is a firm in the fight against money laundering and realise that it , especially after the establishment of the internal market and the liberalisation of the markets for capital and financial services of an effective police and judicial cooperation between the member states - as effective as possible - we need . 
the work as finanzberater right not to the adoption of the lawyer as such , it would not his profession exercise . 
nevertheless , i am of course aware that several members raised the question to the conditions under which the confidentiality of the legal professions the rejection of judicial cooperation in the area of the fight against money laundering to justify , is a delicate one . 
this is particularly true for serious , the gravest and cross-border crime . 
overall , this is the task so great and so important that they are not of the council alone is going to be tackled . 
hence the need to strengthen citizens ' rights by a measuring instrument and the jurisdiction of the court of justice to recognise , especially in relation to issues of interpretation and decisions . 
even though i , for more cooperation and coordination favour , i think the project to draw a legal framework , to be wrong , and that is why we vote against it . 
there is also a second point is of interest . 
that is why the full participation in this house is so good . 
since several members is a very delicate matters , i would like to take this opportunity to you in all frankness , as mr coelho has done , to say that we in this initiative , above all , the first initiative in which the political will of the council should be expressed in relation to police cooperation existing delay in the field of judicial cooperation to catch up . 
that is why it is also important instrument for the judicial control of europol is to ensure . 
the programme fair for research in the areas of fisheries , agriculture and agrifood was part of the iv framework programme , from 1994 to 1998 expired . 
given the importance of the research programme for agriculture and fisheries , it is regrettable that some problems have been established , which is the organisation of the programme is concerned . 
the court of auditors ' report on the programme fair , on the langenhagen report refers , is only in march this year has been published , while the sektorschreiben audit , for the first time in december 1998 and , in february 1999 be sent to the commission . 
on behalf of the committee on fisheries , i would like to address a few points . 
i am grateful to you on the atmosphere pointed out , in which the report came ; it was a sign of dialogue with the court of auditors and the services of the commission , and they have made it clear how important you . 
this shows that the commission does not inactive in this area has been , and that they your comments seriously . 
i now come to the question put by mrs morgan , the withdrawal of paid amounts articulated . 
thank you , mr commissioner . 
the award during the december . 
it means , even if some heads of state and government not to admit my deep conviction is also the opening of this parliament is so often and persistent required constitutional . 
i am extremely pleased that today i have had the opportunity , with you detailed on this splendid draft of the charter of fundamental rights of the european union to debate , before the final opinion of your house on this text is adopted . 
i personally have no doubt that the opportunity to offer . 
there was , however , also to make a few critical comments about the content of the charter . 
this is an important position , which i welcome . 
it was for us , as parliament is a great success - and here the groups zusammengestanden , this is a positive result - that we have achieved that the european parliament , with 16 members in this represented . 
the present the charter of fundamental rights is , as i think , a great achievement and , as a major european newspaper on 26 september 2000 betitelte visiting card for europe . 
it is therefore my group is absolutely fundamental , in article 6 ( 2 ) of the treaty to make a reference to the charter of fundamental rights to be included . 
for many , in fact believed that europe will finally have the option would be existence as a simple free trade zone and the well-worn road of liberalism have to be overcome the foundations of a europe of the citizens to build . 
the civil society is determined to mobilise and the european summit in december in nice their voice to collect and a charter of fundamenta
