the union must be developed , with a major institutional structure with a clear demarcation between the powers of the member states and the competences of the union is well aware that the existing treaties are inadequate and will not be a different , more efficient structure for us . it is first of all , the concern about the economic and social problems , despite a continuing growth as a result of years of effort from all of our fellow citizens are confronted with which we messages . the current situation , particularly for many self-employed hauliers , for agriculture is unacceptable to all cases , must be improved . the understanding on the procedure is good , but we must ensure that the system is not as a political schlagwaffe can be used . you now have the clear in view of the rights they must comply with . i agree with his a warning for some tempting will return to the methods of intergovernmental cooperation . many of us want a federation of nation states . it also implies that each of its proper place will take place . the rapporteurs have stressed the need to go further . i can only agree with the level of debate and of course . the latter , i would like to say that it is a familiar with them and they must be a political speech must always be realistic and is always the kräftesituation and all of us to take account of the objectives of the weigh , because the forces concerned study , speech . i would like to start a few examples of the new capacity to provide this closer cooperation , we in europe . the vote will take place today at 12.30 p.m . the commission must reject amendment no 12 . i will vote for the adoption of the regelungsentwurfs . so in the reports of the european court of auditors constantly referred to portugal , greece , the information on such low always happen again . we have therefore voted for this report . the intermediaries , not only be worldwide , but also in this respect , cheaper and more environmentally friendly , as their fuel consumption per passenger is less such buses . the report also calls on the definition of benchmarks , with a view to the dissemination of best practices in the eu . a binding charter with the rights and all-embracing recoverable could at a later date difficulties . i would like to thank both for their excellent work . we believe that it is less than three months after concluded in nice . for this reason alone we cannot vote in favour of the charter , but not at the summit in nice in the treaty . the csu-europagruppe that the citizens of the charter of fundamental rights to the eu institutions and their fundamental rights summarised made visible . welcomes this schlussentwurf it is a reflection of the emerging in liberal europe . i would have liked to further , as many ngos from various countries of the european union because of this charter will work proposed . ( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by mr queiró [ com ( 1999 ) 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ] ; hungary to 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - that is why i should like to propose to you that we as parliament , in the coming year , no longer present , only länderberichte , in order to make it clear that we progress of the negotiations for a differentiated generalbericht concerns . 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 - a very accurate overview of the accession process . further at the nice european council as i have already said , and would like to repeat here , the french presidency will none of the difficulties , which would , of course , evade the time , the possibility of each of these difficulties and does not mean that we are auszudiskutieren . this question is , of course , perfectly understandable , but must be properly and precise reply . it is a great perspective , we must tackle the großherzigkeit and vision . not every outcome of the intergovernmental conference would meet the enormous anpassungsdruck of enlargement . the second major change we are seeing and europe must stop the galloping speeding up the economic development towards the global market and to the global competition . fourthly , hence , as yet another principle that the member states , later , on which , in the past have begun a fair chance of aufzuschließen started . where are necessary in order to achieve standards should be borne in mind that the current members of the large and long-term investment in these cases long transition periods are used . for border security and crime , will also be our standards and the benefits of european cooperation . but if we look at the current trade between the european union and the central and eastern european countries . fortunately , the commissioner has now finally be communicated to the citizens for the first time , the fears which , as has already been mentioned , are unfounded . but one thing is clear - and i welcome mr verheugen has stressed once again : it is not in a transitional period for the respect democratic rules . we need to help the commission , because it is sometimes determination to us in the relevant ammunition . this is necessary so that we , as the european union targets , the internal reforms to a conclusion . but there are important issues and , in which we disagree . this is damaging to the european union , its future independence in north america and a common european defence and security policy , because it involves risks for the relationship with russia and other countries . we hope , however , that what we want results , and in preparation for enlargement must be done , not a other intergovernmental conference should be postponed . i shall be brief as i have already been done earlier in my first speech , i have three minutes i have not used . this is very important , and i am very pleased that the commission an information campaign is , after the words of commissioner verheugen both comprehensive and decentralised is to be carried out . but i am not a pessimist - well , i am not at the time , i want to have a clear statement in favour of enlargement - to remain credible , we must be seriously , we must be understood , we must , of the peoples of the candidate countries and also - and this is my last word , because i would like this is quite clear : this issue in the approval of the people of our peoples , win . at the moment i see no need , in the context of enlargement on the financial perspective to discuss . it is not a single , i can say today . for the same reason , you have expressed the wish to join the european union . we shall now give the floor to the various rapporteurs . i have been responsible task , the report on the request of estonia 's accession to the european union at present . i am very careful with conservative of taxpayers ' money . i believe , then they would have an idea of what the people of latvia in recent years have done . this is not enough , the whole of the strategy must be geared more to the citizens . lithuania has a considerable potential for a long-term economic growth . in the broadest sense , the cooperation of the european union with the russian federation . another point is neuralgischer the support of the public in and outside the european union . as a result of wise fiscal policy , the foreign direct investment in the last year on more than 5,45 billion euros . we should not be involved , not even we germans ! the slovak stable , and in this area , we had already else seen developing democracy . in my speech i shall six aspects of the development of the situation in hungary and to systematisieren under the angle of joining the union are important . that is why i am pleased that this issue in the general report on the enlargement of the honourable member , mr brok . this is probably no more than in the area of nuclear power , where there is a danger of the lobby of the legitimate concerns in relation to nuclear safety and environmental protection for their own ends usurpiert kernkraftgegner area . i would like to thank mr endorses the formation of a high level group recommend . the report also unanimously approved in committee , is the part of the territory of the legal authorities , attached to the conclusion that fulfils the political copenhagen criteria . this is the key role for the cfsp high representative , javier solana , to what the role of the commission is , of course , our own unaffected . the main problem is that the accession process and the european union stresses that this accession process is constantly malta but remains government and opposition to judged differently . even the united states and between the levels close together . this is why we in the area of the single market for a sensible , flexible and the challenge of a strategy mexico are appropriate . i must say that i had the courage to go , and this process in motion , but also respect for the citizens in central and eastern european countries have ten years ago , on the strasse with brought . the information society is important for the old as for the new industry . we must not by the percentages of community law in national legislation umgesetztes merely drink . the 10 new countries of eastern europe have not seen such a rich erbonkel . this applies equally to the transport of live animals , subhuman - to the slaughterhouses . now , we are working on a system for all important health consequences for an assessment of the legislation . in my opinion , must also be made clear that the european fund for regional development , not on the basis of a purely accounting in the regions and areas can be given to the european union received and continue to distribution . elmar brok is right to his speech by pointing out that we are all the beneficiaries of enlargement , in particular , we will be taken on this side of the current external borders . the binnenschiffverkehr will be important for environmental reasons , because we must get away from the roads , and if we do not rail transport , then we must use massengüter waterways . also , not least , have played a role , and the euro exchange rate has certainly not a positive effect on the outcome of afforded selfishness and populism . our message to the candidate countries is : do not by the scale of the reports and documents upset . unfortunately , many of the parties have their ideological federn abgestreift with the result that it ideals and materialistisch little embody currently . should it be necessary , the right to free acquisition of land and eigenheimen suspend , we should do this . it is now exist , but perhaps by bureaucratic and apparent lack of transparency , but not a threat to public resistance of some governments . where are the millions of jobs in the maastricht treaty should bring ? while we are to be some of the next reform of the treaties , new demand . almost all international studies show in the context of enlargement on macroeconomic out profits . however , the main objective of the slovenian policy - the earliest possible accession to the european union - apart from some minor minorities of no political grouping called into question . the enlargement of the union quickly put in place , it would be decentralised to a large extent , as the group of the eldr formulated in its opinion on enlargement . it was clear that for the country typical long-term consequences for the health of the strictly orderly anstaltsregime orphans . i ask you to support the corresponding amendments . and even we in the european politicians , have little insight into the negotiating process . cyprus is almost as a bridge to the countries in this region to act . i wish the negotiators to success in this important area . a second type of communication between our countries and the candidate countries , in order to explain what it is , of course , also important in the european union . we cannot afford to lose from the beginning of the 1990s , the more momentum . mr president , first of all , as rapporteur i should like to congratulate the rapporteur on her excellent product of the socialist group for the report on romania . for the institutions , for the member states , for all of us , it is a question of this challenge , but also the fears of our own public grown to show the force of the founding fathers of europe and the visionskraft and again , the ambition to be found . unfortunately i have the impression that this process of enlargement despite many fine words and , despite hard-working and many of the council pressing on with the necessary political öffnens schließens chapter . many countries of the union had a certain time of its development with similar problems can be discussed in order to help to overcome the current problems and bulgaria . democracy is not just a question of majorities , but above all the appropriate codecision is also a question of minorities . the applicant countries must treatment and their accession should only be dependent on their development . at the same time , we should recognize with commitment that countries such as lithuania try to wettzumachen lost ground . in this respect , it is in our interest to extend our legal and freiheitssystem romania , and this is certainly in a critical public debate with our argument . however , there is a great deal of agreement , and that is the matter in relation to enlargement . my group therefore supports the duration of the transition periods in the area of the environment to a maximum of five years . mr president , we absolutely must have a positive movement in the enlargement . of course , is still on the order of the accession of candidate countries , for example , to discuss the progress of the internal reforms , because there should be judged . i am pleased that the report as positive and slovenia - and i have several times , and the commissioner was able to examine this several times - really massive has initiated , as chairman of the delegation to fulfil the criteria . i think that the proposal for worthy of discussion . these forms of violence and the trafficking in women are already with all the resources , both within the eu and in the candidate countries to condemn and to combat . in conclusion , i would like to take this opportunity of the considerations and the concerns of many colleagues in the preparation of this report of the european parliament to examine in detail the issue of europe 's borders , and that the size of its enlargement and the appropriateness of the finally consider it to be necessary . - the minutes of the previous sitting have been distributed . thank you . in this house rightly pointed out that the rights of citizens in a europe of the union must be enshrined in the right again . i shall now put the request to postpone the committee on legal affairs and the internal market to the vote . we know that the undesirable substances in the long term , and dioxin , and heavy metals such as cadmium and mercury , lead to toxic substances , but rather to influence consumer akkumulierbare substances such as aflatoxin which we are talking about here is a very rarely acute . we can no longer find sinners today . if we permit this , it must at least one of control , and it must be made public , because this is a problem that must also be discussed in the public know that this verschneidung registration with the verschneidung . one thing must be clarified : the dioxin crisis was the result of criminal acts against existing regulations . mr president , i thank the ladies and gentlemen , i have spoken . this was a compelling necessity . the limit value for fishmeal differs from , for example , the limit value for not marine organisms manufactured from animal products proposed . it is time that we misleading this interpretation of the principle of subsidiarity , the patronage of our nations by brussels , day after day , developed , put an end . i am not toxic substances listed in combination with other substances , however , as the rapporteur 's view , the proposed measures are justified and must be controlled , even if this in itself , in the increased values . unfortunately , is a great deal in common bauernverstand industrial agriculture , where the animals have been reduced , and commodities überliefertem know , in the production units lost . the new regulations on many directives were brought together by the very detailed and complicated hygieneanforderungen distributed , harmonised and simplified . the number of those who have exactly the ingredients , according to my question is relatively small research . secondly : a change is very well but the producers of animal feed raw materials . they are much more in the future of ausgangsprodukten for farmers , the partien destroy . the compensation is needed , although there is the farmers themselves bear a great responsibility for the welfare of animals . it is expressly requested in amendment no 18 , water in the definition of feed to be included . on the basis of this scientific risk assessments of the member states appropriate measures to fixing limit values for these substances in animal feed , the commission will recommend . after the examination of the amendments tabled in this sitting , i welcome the support of parliament for the proposal . overall , the commission can accept amendments nos 15 of the 27 . i assume that this time no success . the commission has promised that they will work , and it has also announced that it is not until tomorrow will be completed . farmers need more time , at least in question , and to what extent in these compound feedingstuffs contain . know everything prozentangaben finally , i would like to thank the rapporteur , mr graefe zu baringdorf and mrs roth-behrendt sincerely for their reports and hope that the council in a constructive attitude of this issue and we as a transparent system of futtermitteldeklaration together to achieve . all this , we have clearly tragedy with bse , thanks to a genuine novel with a number of chapters has developed . pollutants which affect the health of humans and animals are not acceptable . however , we start with the positive . the proposal before us is the beginning of a number of initiatives on the basis of the white paper on food safety . thank you very much , 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 to hungary 's accession to the european union and the state of the negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 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 of romania and to join the european union and the state of the negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 510 - c5-0033 / 2000 - 1997 / 2171 ( cos ) ) the third and perhaps most condition is that the council to reach agreement , which efficient , effective and democratic functioning of the community after enlargement ensure new institutional agreements . europe must be planned on this excellent principle should also apply to promote the development of the institutions , the east , but at the same time , room for differences . sovereignty and for the great rather such within the european union . finally , i would like to stress that the enlargement process gradual and in line with the applicant countries must be anpassungsfortschritten . in the current context and in view of the vote , and the question , it is important that this parliament send a clear political signal for this enlargement is now to hear the enlargement of the european union . the european union is since its establishment of the reunification of the peoples . the criteria of copenhagen in 1993 , or to strengthen the rule of unbridled capitalism and the council on the democratisation of competitiveness , under the guise of ' acquis ' destructive . under these circumstances , the enlargement process to an increase in the populist and faschistoiden excesses which , in a headlong could lead to . we have just on the agenda of this sitting , which illustrates once again , as it badly with the acquis communautaire in practice , just a report on the equal opportunities for women and men in this area is happening . the poland and the house , the 1956 or the people 's democracies once the head of state and the people of jan palach for the freedom of access to the european refuse hungary in budapest battered capital prague , in the symbolic violence . opferte , with niederhielten by a fenstersturz absetzten kopernikus who would johannes-paul ii . a greater europe needs new tasks and responsibilities with more and more financial resources . i take this opportunity to offer the citizens and the elderly pensioners in estonia and hope that we will ensure a existence in the european union to allow my greetings to you . if latvia has adapted to cope with enlargement , i see no reason why the union should be included in the european union and its institutional structures and policies latvia not continue to make progress . if lithuania has adapted to cope with enlargement , i see no reason why the union should be included in the european union and its institutional structures and policies to progress is not lithuania . in the environment are national fund for environmental protection and the application of the ' polluter pays ' principle , to see progress with the creation of the ' ' . if the union opens the door to our common house is on this neuankömmling equity , justice , the country for too long . denied this poland i look forward to the imminent accession of the czech republic to the european union . . ( en ) i welcome the report by mr queiró , on the request to hungary 's accession to the european union and its conclusions , the majority support . i hope that bulgaria join the union in the not too distant future . poos report ( a5-0249 / 2000 ) it is a balanced and fair , the council should take note of the opinion seriously . in this context , i hope that the negotiations on the success of the accession of cyprus to the greek and turkish republic will be able to benefit from the benefits of ethnic group under the auspices of the united nations , so that together in a reunited . i welcome the report by mr poos , on the request of the republic of cyprus to join the european union . but we are on the extreme at the end of the food chain and , therefore , the last sammelbecken modified and verfälschte food for consumers . we are , in particular , to ensure that the food safety at european level and in concrete form from stable or from the field to the table , will be guaranteed . precisely because we really country greater solidarity between all the countries of the world , we have no intention of our vote for the development and cooperation equal to support a farce . the council informed parliament before the vote in committee , but in the short term , that deliberately further talks with me or parliament have been prevented . in my report i have a debate on this in parliament and the maximum transparency , but i also said that the transfer to the memory of the past , in order to keep alive in the fight against discrimination and not just a stronger representation and the involvement of ngos , greater accountability to the parliament , the presentation of an annual report and called for the use of prejudice . at the same time , must legitimate interests of employees . as the main responsibility in the regulation of diskriminierungsfragen best able to draw up the social partners are at work , workable solutions . jenny is coordinator of the access-charter-gruppe and i hearings on article 13 of the public has been invited . in fact , directives and to offer incentives , the member states in the fight against discrimination on the basis of the same basis , and allow the commission to fulfil its role as guardian of the treaties , but also in the social gathering discussion because action programmes . although this legal basis funds for new preparatory actions releases , their funding to a mittelreduzierung for other policies within this category could . we have before us is a proposal for a necessary but insufficient framework directive . we will have an opportunity to improve its mechanisms , after a certain anwendungszeit . i hope that the commission will in the light of this new directive deal carefully with the question of sex discrimination . i congratulate the commission and my colleagues who have worked on these reports . i welcome the recommendation in the mann report , weltanschaulichen organisations to be able , if necessary , as vocational requirement in the staff conditions , on this recital refer . the fact that the institutions of the new powers , proves that the european union in the field of equal opportunities , madam commissioner , i would like to thank the european commission is still plays a leading role and to make use granted by the treaty of amsterdam as quickly . the presence of many different kinds of discrimination in our societies confirmed the importance of this action programme , which the report by mr cashman . mr president , on behalf of the members of the bonino list , i would like to express our distress at the way the subject of discrimination , racism and xenophobia by the union and the member states . can the commissioner explain why the commission on this aspect ignored ? the second is the problem that ngos , however important they are asked , whatever their size of its kind and the implementation of its actions , in order to stay here for me . the group of the european liberal , democrat and reform party has a positive view of the activities of the european parliament , the special emphasis on the prevention of discrimination and the best practices , all of this , in particular , but also and above all . this is a challenge for all of us , because we all the people after the first impression judge . mr president , if we are to combat discrimination and against enacted , then we should admit their existence and even the fact that many of your expressions ' legal ' , as they are now to the alltagsbild rules . first of all , the unctad looks , and the united nations , the principle of positive measures , the welthandels- entwicklungskonferenz 1963 in geneva discrimination established . the information and awareness gain , in fact , a fundamental importance in this area , it must be done , so that a new mentality , new misconception and kept in mind , so that the people of widespread prejudices and can be removed once and for all to all citizens real equality is guaranteed by the preparatory work still behaviour . so it is now a question of what the political importance of the fight against discrimination is expressed in some aspects improved and the financing of the programme for the budget to be increased , with the two legislative initiatives , by progress to be discussed . in particular , the agreement on the principle of adjustments to the played a leading role in sweden and ireland , will now ensure that the employer in europe , and its procedures so that disabled people to change a real chance to acquire sonderausstattungen their jobs properly . the article 13 is the point of departure for a new objective of the eu : the fight against discrimination or the unequal treatment of the citizens of the reasons that are included in this article . secondly , i would like to point out that the commission with this first package unfortunately a serious has made a mistake , by the reasons for discrimination in einordnet an order of precedence . mr president , on a tolerate discrimination on grounds of religion is as little as any other form of discrimination . a great supporter of the secularism , i can , therefore , i do not support this idea . the noble idea of every citizen in connection with the other , is still part of factual part of a legal nature , obstacles to freedom of the greatest possible freedom , if equally is compatible today . one of these directives has already been adopted , and i am very optimistic that the other in november during the french presidency will be approved in a very short space of time . some are not in line with other legislation , for example , the amendment on the procedure in the committees . i must reject amendment no 38 and the proposed deletion of the list of permitted from article 5 , in cases of inequality are included on the basis of age . you have the important issue of vertragseinhaltung taken up . in this action programme for the first time joint projects are planned . it is clear that the code of conduct to be more effective , more countries join in the world . in article 7 of the code oblige the member states to prevent endbenutzer permissible weapons to be passed on . mr president , i confess that i am for the times in which the european parliament , but also by the various demands for measures to reduce the production and put the question we have been made , as arms production could be converted into a civil peace movements and trade unions considerations and continuous zurücksehne production . given the situation in the world today , after the end of the cold war and the collapse of the weapons of mass destruction aufrechterhaltenen balance of horror , would be a type of behaviour is by our continent and the irresponsible . these weapons are almost the symbol of the anarchy in many places in the world . the cfsp includes measures to krisenbekämpfung outside the borders of the union , but nothing could be described as a common defence policy . this aim , the export of weapons to crisis regions , which is taking place to prevent governments , which violate human rights , and in or in rüstungswettlauf . the commission has participated actively in the drafting of the joint action of the european union for small arms and light weapons in close cooperation with the member states . the next item is the debate on the commission communication on the european research area . other elements for longer periods of time involved with variable geometry , especially the union 's participation in national programmes , as it article 169 of the treaty provides for the introduction of the förderformen , half way between the projektförderung and institutional funding are located ; the use of ' instruments are laid down in the treaty ' . this hierarchisierenden nature , and we want to promote this depends on the förderform . you say that you dächten to a total shake-up of the framework programme . i believe that we need something that the european research area , something that goes beyond the framework programme , with the national programmes supplemented . we need a strukturierendes element , we must introduce a structure confers on today . methods only what the considerations , i think that we need to do something , because parliament is the joint research centre and the zukunftsforschungsinstitute , together with the stoa-referat in the individual member states are affected . it is leaps and bounds with the commission on the implementation of the european research area . it is a whole chapter on science and society , citizens . there was contacts with the authorities in greece , ireland and portugal to the governments of these countries to the commission to submit their projects under the cohesion fund as soon as possible . perhaps you have just mentioned , and it was not the fault of devoted exclusively to the cohesion fund , that you more detailed information in the last commission , is the lack of a service . my second question is as follows : in addition to the cohesion fund , there are countries which have been tabled and which you have already been approved by the community support frameworks , the structural funds , and so on . regionalprogramme countries what you definitive projects programmes ? 1989 , the commission has submitted a new proposal , the more flexibility should offer . i know the disproportionately high taxation , we should remind us that this is the responsibility of the member states are subject to the effect of the competition law in this situation must not pay more than the general rules for fair competition in europe , but should also apply here . statements by mr bolkestein to appreciate and i know that one of the principles in the treaties , is that foreign companies can , if generally in cases of domestic affairs . if you want to save fuel , then this is not by levies and by other besteuerungsformen . mr purvis , i would like to say that the problem of regional , national governments , but a part of their lives up to the electorate in those outlying regions and peripheral regions . natural disadvantages probably mr president , thank you , madam commissioner , for your information . last spring summer and a general revision of the european commission has carried out their activities and their workforce . there are such tasks . they are increasingly by tourists and businessmen exploited , the remarkably often come from europe . the commission believes that all companies will be able , in time to prepare for the final changeover to the euro , including the adapting their computer systems and the software heard . the theoretical political discussion is no longer on the agenda of the dangers of a referendum in general , but perhaps we can discuss the opportunity to another . this also applies to rises . recently was sent to the french authorities erinnerungsschreiben . the candidate countries , i can tell you that on this issue meetings with them have taken place and provisional agreement were concluded . the commission criticisms of various plant types of conventional seed imported cotton , including the traces of genetically modified seeds during the frühjahrsaussaat have cases of note herself . i am , however , with his services have , i am able to inform you that computerausstattung for private use in a directive on electrical products , the so-called niedrigspannungsrichtlinie and funkanlagen and equipment are laid down in the directive on basic safety requirements in relation to official or after kurzgeschlossen . would he agree with that , in my view , we distinguishes between security and safety at work in the classroom or the safety of a child that home at the computer is wrongly ? perhaps he schüttelt the hand of president khatami . aung san suu kyi lives today de facto under house arrest . i am therefore very hesitant , trade or more involve further measures in relation to trade , or investment demand . question no 15 by ( h-0769 / 00 ) : you referred to this , for example , to wahlkampfveranstaltungen you had visited . questions nos 16 to 44 will be replied to in writing . we are calling for a consolidated report , the european parliament should be examined and published . we producing countries of the world , we should instead concentrate on the transition to civilian production rather than to compete with other weapons . the five permanent members of the security council , whose task is to ensure heed these proposals and negotiate an agreement as quickly as possible , the twenty-first century is worthy of our security should actually about . the debate today marks an important step in the process of reform , the commission under mr prodi about a year ago was introduced . i get the idea that the commission in the race for producing a proposal within the time frame laid down in the reformweißbuch it has failed , all of the individual points exactly arbitration . therefore , i suggest that both the financial controller and the internal auditor should draw up annual reports on their detailed work . in the van hulten report is the right to exacerbated a workable approach for the exchange of best practices between the institutions advocated by the commission separation and necessary . i hope that should not repeat here ! if we provisions for the meeting of the committee of wise men independence demanded by the large institutions , we must all apply . in the past we have very often seen in the decision-making process and a loss of confidence in the european institutions have led to the long applicants to disappointment . i would like to say that this report is the first step in the construction of a bridge between the current system and that we want to achieve the commissioner is only an intermediate step . this means that it is , after the reform . this is the proposal before us . only if they are in a position , the sampling , selection , which often controlled , watered down . on simple declarations , we are all aware that the certainly not an easy task . i believe that we as politicians , as technicians are able to tackle the problem alone , of course , is not at all . fortunately , but the overwhelming majority of children and young people in a environment , the none of these problemmerkmale growth . i agree with the president of the commission has drawn up , it is for me , of course , that the principle of subsidiarity must be strengthened and that the eu , many areas of policy , which has not transcend borders . similarity with a constitution that such a list , must be fully to keep functions . wissensgebieten within a short space of time to be supplied to the house , and the communicate around the world for you and all the information from all over the world everyday life . they were arrested and said : ' will be taken quickly to the police in the series strange , is not so quickly . the legislator - and i would like to finish - cannot regulate everything , but it must sometimes to the rights and duties of any out . in addition , i have to education , training is the ability of the verstehens of pictures of the awareness of the young generations , the media to be critical and not something will be some understanding for the comments and to . nothing in the wake of the harmful effects , as if no progress , or at least it does not lead to eliminate the obstacles which the ausbildungsmobilität affected today is a report like this is no greater mobility , or will their views . in the various countries are different : it is a different rules in the areas of social security and tax law , or the lack of a common recognition of diplomas and praktikumsaufenthalten to solve problems , for example , grants , aufenthalts- . it is time that europe is the proper implementation of programmes such as socrates and youth for europe attention again . the mobility of students and teachers , show that the real shortcomings in education , but in the social and fiscal immigration are not talking primarily with the experience . as an example of this has been included in the socrates programme . it must be able to make a clear monitoring , control and , above all , must be set up a clear , if a beratungsstelle , a web-seite where the students their complaints . we therefore call upon the involvement of the group of people of researchers in the scope of the recommendations . but this is easier said than done . the debate is closed . we appreciate your approach , on the model of president jacques chirac or foreign minister , joschka fischer , orientation . the union must speak with one voice and a common defence and foreign policy sicherheitsfähigkeit develop . what we need is a entscheidungsforum to deal with the problems of central importance for both sides , such as the migration , the shift of production factors , or the supply of energy . in the resolution on the reports of the commission , on which you to vote later , this issue very closely dealt with . its indicators to be drawn up an assessment of the progress made possible . in addition to the ministerial conference on the profession of equality , but in the field of employment and social affairs council and the kolloquium equality in two important devoted specifically mentioned . afforded texts ' should ' the second is the principle of non-discrimination , including the ban on discrimination on grounds of sex . i would point out - the president-in-office has also mentioned - that the important cultural differences , of course of the great problems within the eu belong to the reports . the reports which we are discussing here reflect all of this . we must check that the directive on equality actually included in the legislation will take place . i believe that this is the first time in finland , for very many areas practicable and this is one of the commission must expect much gleichberechtigungsstrategie as part of the procedure followed . on behalf of the equal opportunities , the french women the right to work acquired thanks to the european union . as a french citizen is me such a point of view of the world , particularly alien . in spite of these comments , we will vote for this report , because we are , of course , for the equal opportunities , but above all , equal opportunities means that every respect . the freedom of choice mothers who adopted , without remuneration to educate , given the bill in the form of their own children in the short or long juvenile vandalism presented . i would like to remind you of our report on the rentenrechte in the event of divorce , finally , the services and the retirement age in the directive to be involved in this context splitting that for the survivors 1979 . the polish women were very grateful that we have made it clear that the representative of the attitude of the polish women was there , not reproduced . greater involvement of women at all levels of government and the deepening of democracy and for the preservation of peace and in all walks of life is essential to achieve . finally , i would like to say that the situation of women in the countries to prepare its accession to the european union . the council , and not least the men in europe , in the fight against frauenhandelsmafia . no , schulterzuckend or ignore these slave trade oust an enormous task in this area , it has therefore to politicians for good move . today , we can see from what was already clear , namely that this is a problem of equal opportunities and women are neither a category a homogeneous social group and we are a collectively , because we need global strategies for his solution to the reports and speeches we analyse many of us nor a structural nature . indeed , i have with some regret to note that maria de belém roseira these posts are not more bekleidet . two of its new sozialrechte speakers have mentioned , new steuerrechte . thirdly , they are the basis for a strategy of the european union - even in the charter of fundamental rights , it was important that we have an overview of the current situation , but also at national level , since the member states now in a comparative assessment of the national targets at the level available . the joint debate is closed . these amendments must be understood in the new context of the interinstitutional agreement , and that is why parliament cannot disregard the fact , these amendments , because it by the new interinstitutional framework in some way become irrelevant to be on comitology . i nonetheless believe that the text adopted by parliament at the time the new realities of the internal market and to guarantee that the rules of procedure to apply the same in its implementation and control and information in accepted amendments contain a greater messengers were much better account bore , since the elements of the liberalisation of the markets would continue to personally . if we want to accept the commitments must be careful to ensure compliance with its own rules , because the possibility of products on the community , why should it make any concessions to negotiate with us , then the effort to bring the european community as a first , if a country has schmuggelwege on the market that third countries ? in the same way on the application of the customs authorities in the member states , with the most modern automatisierten verwaltungsinstrumenten . it is parliament 's amendment , adopted by the council has been papierlose but now it is too late , because they took the vote in favour of it just now and the members . votes ( continuation ) 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 in the european union - in 1997 ,

. ( fr ) i am today is not the first time an opinion on the mobility of students and teachers . this report is all the more important than it is a crucial moment for the european union , namely the forthcoming enlargement will be presented . discrimination cannot be combated through the creation of additional authorities , but only in the minds of people . - ( fr ) i have not voted for the mann report because , in particular , in fact necessary pursuit of equal treatment in employment and profession needs , therefore , not yet in excess of zeal , that the protection of the rule of law and respect for this totally forgotten went so far as to freedoms . as a representative of the secularism , the separation of church and state , i could not have my support . . ( en ) the snp welcomes this directive and its objective , to put an end to discrimination at work . if the directive should be possible , it must not be overloaded with literature and wishful thinking , in a legislative text acceptable , and nothing to do . the eplp has strong reservations , however , on the following areas : as a whole , the implementation of the training of workers and the interpretation of this directive on the part of the smes should be left to the member states in our opinion , the way in a schlichtungssystems ages for certain questions . mr van hulten in the interview with a positive agenda , but also a lack of efficiency and effectiveness in the decision-making process . managed to is right that we only then can begin , if we issues such as fraud and waste the reasons for my vote in favour of this report are mainly with the question of closer relations of the european union to achieve a common defence policy nato and the rapid linked . the report of the european waffenausfuhr as a solution for the future of regional conflicts in the border regions of europe is to be discussed . however , i cannot accept that this demand for a common defence policy and a european security and defence policy within the nato linked . . ( el ) the children are the first victims of violence on television . i welcome the fact that the results of this study now available . it is also a task to draw up a memorandum , the general principles for the protection of minors in the media contains the expertenausschuss at community level . dybkjær report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) . ( el ) interestingly was here for the first time , the commission to assess the effectiveness of the annual reports recognise the need for the political initiatives . peru mr president , peru currently going through times of uncertainty , and we all hope that the current situation will be resolved by a process in which all civil and political rights , strengthen and consolidate the peace and democracy in a country which , in the last fifteen years 25 000 deaths had peru will have guaranteed . the word that we are dealing with here is ' democracy ' . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the conditions under which elections in peru passed in may this year was 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 . i therefore welcome the decision on the situation of women and contains a number of points clear support for the total by the taliban-führung to prevent further important point of power , as discrimination against women . the eu has an important task here . recognition of any of the member states , it must not , as long as the policy of the violations of human rights , and the systematic discrimination against women , will continue . this is the fact that the money to buy weapons used in the european institutions and the possible , we must eyes . however , the neighbouring countries in the improvement of their opportunities to drugs strongly support . i think the time for a suitable to remind you that the european union policy towards latin america must draw up , the possibly could prevent that these countries are , as you have occurred at regular intervals crisis situations . compassionate ladies and gentlemen , the commission as the house welcome the release of the spanish jesuitenpaters alejandro matos castro 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 higher education ; that is why we are all very pleased that this is a problem of higher education , at long last , perhaps a really good , contrary to the solution . in my opinion , this is a good example for all neighbouring countries , not only hatred , as it happens so often , but also for a peaceful , multi-ethnic society can serve as cradle education in particular on the education leads today . i would also like , we have found a solution in parliament would agree with all the parties . here i should perhaps take the opportunity to point out that the commission in cooperation with the high commissioner , mr van der stoel , already good experience . the debate today , we want to express our condolences to the first place , we are talking about what has happened , why is it going to happen , as we can now to the commission and the european parliament can contribute to such an incident that happened again . remedy and as for the future not only in . in any case , we are in favour of it as a matter of urgency , and for the reasons i explained earlier , we are against the amendments tabled , which is also the urgent procedure , this joint motion for a resolution and agreed in its present form . the amendment on this issue is already the subject of a directive and the amendment is , in any case , not just as the text itself . conditions : this is islands of scotland , not for the possible on the north sea crossing the european mainland , which i hope will be set up in the not too distant future for northern and western simply not acceptable . i welcome the greek government has now reversed this liberation . that is why the commission has following the sinking of the samina sank immediately put the request information on the application of existing community law , with the greek government express to obtain . i would like to raise the question of this and would ask you to clarify whether the bureau , following the abolition of the friday of the abolition of the thursdays certain side has begun . i would like to inform you that the mechanisms , so that we will continue to be able to take measures to support the serbian people in the reconstruction of the serbian people , that is , as soon as a voters will be set up , the following : firstly , the immediate lifting of sanctions and , secondly , a wirtschaftshilfepaket kostunicas government supported by the european union implemented as soon as the respect of its economy . in this hours in the streets of belgrade will perhaps decide whether the democratic change now entry and whether it should be peacefully . we condemn all acts as a provocation to values , in particular , what the holy places in jerusalem is concerned . we need people - as mr solana said - quite the symbolic zagreb hand rich in this part-session . that is the israeli army splittergeschosse have used in the intrusion into the body in parts , shells internationally , even in fighting between now and soldiers , banned against civilians are used . schockierendsten on police and the dozens of zerbersten i believe that europe can and must much in this direction , and we must act decisively and it is clear . consequently , we must all be done to reduce the schwelenden fire as quickly as possible . provocation , as the action of ariel sharon must omitted . this is the case , and that is why the european union , as in recent years , not been able to accept the usa alone is left to the role of mediator in the middle east , it all again today . we will not lofty objectives and our moral victims , because that would mean that perhaps thousands of people in serbia and yugoslavia could , therefore , the serbian people die . finally , i would like to propose a new government , with a delegation of parliament , together with this new yugoslav government plans for the construction of a new serbia as quickly as possible and as soon as yugoslav formed to travel to go there . madam president , ladies and gentlemen , it is clear that we in this parliament today may be a historic day , perhaps see the end of one of the last leg a totalitarian dictatorship in europe . mr president , there is a problem , in the german text for the topical and urgent debate , i do not know whether the other language versions of the gue group also happens - only the amendments included , but none of the motions for resolutions , and certainly not only - are the joint text . mr president , i just wanted to draw the attention of the shows what we need to vote for the colleagues on the batch of , documents this week . if parliament 's decision of the council table amendments , it would also remind you of croatia to the unemployment and social problems from the imposition of the country , but in this connection , there is no legal basis for such amendments could certainly schlankheitskur result . this is the opportunity for the same objectives in relation to the eib 's activities to demand . mr president , yesterday evening , we have here on serbia and there vollziehenden revolutionary changes spoken . i would therefore urge the ladies and gentlemen , but above all , appeal to the council , in the coming months in the negotiations on the budget for next year and then the commission proposal which , in my opinion , the entire cost , but also in other parts of the balkans , for the years as closely as possible to remain in croatia still considered best . in 1990 , the democratic elections were held in international judgment were fair and free . therefore , our full support to support it in the number of the applicant countries , because i believe that this is a profoundly european democratic and constitutional governed massive yes to this macro-financial assistance , yes to this , but at the same time , a strong request to the commission and really country and guarantee croatia has deserves . like the rapporteur , i wonder , however , whether the money available , particularly because it is then that will soon have large flows of money to serbia and the budget of the union should not really will have to be increased . the delegations of the croatian and in our parliament asked the council the mandate of the eib extend . i hope that as soon as possible and as croatia to the serbian people , the greatest respect , deserves our support contacts to be granted . ( parliament approved the minutes . in this sense , therefore , we call for women in the european parliament delegation to participate in a place where there is violence against women bridges to propose that we will launch an appeal , we will signatures collecting and the reports for participation in the delegation , precisely with the concerns of peace , to this : on tuesday and wednesday , between the instead . as a whole basques and suffering caused spaniard ; and basques have enough of the current conflict has been both new spaniards . madam president , you will recall that i have drawn attention to the plight of the british verfechters democracy james mawdsley , by the burmese authorities illegally detained at the last part-session . madam president , i really is the rules of procedure . this report , not to lead to a very important because it is the possibility of introducing the genetic engineering in production and therefore to be able to apply genetically modified products in the great political changes seems , is , in fact , on technically anmutende wine-growing . if we do not vote on the report , it will delays . the conseil - as you said - and this was rejected in properly informed rejection of this appeal d ' etat . however , such a case of the ppe group , but not to my colleagues , a political camp in italy consulted again today . this is why we are committed for the introduction of a social scoreboards , as it is for the internal market , with clear deadlines , zeitlimits with measures to be done . i hope that the council to the expectations of the parliament , and i hope there will be able , at the summit in nice ambitious objectives in a european social agenda , then we can work together in the next few years inspire you , madam minister , is to lay down . following the informal meeting of the council and the ngos working groups and committees of the council - urged him to convey your proposals - of course , the european parliament , the economic and social committee , the committee of the regions , the social partners , the presidency had all the players ' employment and social affairs ' on 8 july in paris . the debate on the quantitative and qualitative aspects and clearly defined in lisbon was a dual objective : comparison is inappropriate to more jobs and höherqualifizierte jobs . this mobility must be encouraged and at the same time , the protection career be guaranteed . we must try to gaps in existing and also to appoint and , in any case , to put the system to specify , on the agenda . the open coordination method is in our opinion , the right way to secure a social europe . the implementation of the community , a plan of action for the creation of jobs in the services sector and , especially in terms of the information society in lisbon promotes social objectives requires efforts . the commission can , of course , an important contribution , but the regional and social problems are enshrined in the specific conditions must be treated with a great deal of delicacy . the social dimension served to compensate for the folgenschwersten effects of economic policy . it would have been better to leave the original commission proposal as it was . congratulations , mr commissioner . it is an ambitious agenda , and i remember it well , as we in the last parliamentary term laborious progress in the social protection . i think it would be very well , to help women to reconcile their family and working life . i sometimes have the impression that the concept of modernisation is often the erosion of the social protection is meant . what are the main characteristics of substance ? it is difficult to establish goals , the european equally valid for all member states , because the reality is very different . it 49 amendments were tabled by the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities . in a proposed amendment annually on the subject of a debate here in parliament , together with the commission to carry out . another point is the increase in support of the community initiatives , including the implementation of legislation and the fight against discrimination in assessment of needs to additional , if necessary , and equality . it has not quite good ideas and gender equality , is unfortunately often failed in the past plans for the gemangelt their implementation . it is not that the voice of the women of a handful of forderungsprofis will be taken in the entire planet with public money , alive . it is the question of equality between men and women in the civil field , the enabling women in the full benefit of the human rights and freedoms . finally , i am that the male gender role stereotypes and combat ancient and start here players . we must thank her , however , that our debate persecuted because their present throughout the debate was actually not provided for . competition policy we are guilty of our companies the favourable conditions for their production and not least of its future planning . consumers must have access to a large range of quality products attractive prices , and that is the reason that , as far as the internal market and so on free competition is , as our citizens ultimately benefit . that is the beihilfenentscheidung nichtbeihilfenentscheidung or in the field of coal . point 16 of the report by mrs riis-jørgensen , calls for a greater control of mergers and a more effective and rapid treatment in the case of anrufungen legal certainty in the application of the time of the courts . in all these cases , it is not about a complete financial management , but former public undertakings , the current monopoly or thanks . we need greater involvement of the citizen in the information on competition policy , so that it recognises the advantages . for the economy and employment in the regions is extremely important , and i hope that this aspect in future , so that these national aid for the development and the regional economy , for example , weitergezahlt transport aid can be made clear . this communication contains three right messages . i would like to thank mr evans , just as warmly for his excellent report on the community rules on state aid to the iron and steel industry and on the respect of the commission report on state aid in the european union . the members mrs palacio and mr karas and other members of the european parliament , the discussed these issues , i would like to say that your concerns in the regulation largely to be taken into account . otherwise , we would be in our efforts to promote the interests of competition and a great service . the debate is closed . with this system of financing is article 119 of the treaty implemented during the third phase of economic and monetary union is not only for the acceding member states of the single currency . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i thank you , on the proposal for a council directive amending directive 193 / 68 / eec on the marketing of material from vines able to discuss , and i hope that today we still have a positive vote on tomorrow . some of you have expressed their concern in connection with the introduction of gmos in their industry in the appeal of beaune on 5 july . the rules contained in the community , the key element of the new com in wine , also in favour of the creation of vielseitigem vegetativen reproductive material , since they provide for the effective promotion of the restructuring of the weinbaus best gesundheitsgarantien , what is urgently required . it must be said that it was necessary in any way , the amendment to directive 90 / 220 , unless we wanted to the manipulation of weinreben with all the power to push forward with this directive in article point to the up-to-date fully to fill loud and clear . 35 to 40 will be able to accept . no , the aim of the security and managementerfordernisse pursuant to directive 90 / 220 consistent to transfer . i would like to say that plenary has not been asked to comment was , as such . madam president , i refer to paragraph 14 of the protocol to the request for waiver of parliamentary immunity of mr pacheco pereira . on the qualified majority , i would like to highlight . in the weighting of votes are also two options on the table : the weighting of votes , for the majority of the double majority , but on the basis of various double simple or as a kind of ' marked demographic network ' . hauchdünne coming , or a simple majority or neugewichtete formulae well-known furthermore , the european council has a bedarfsbewertung and a coordination of economic and financial aid for the federal republic of yugoslavia , the european commission and the world bank be transferred to the federal republic of yugoslavia , a first emergency humanitarian aid in eur 200 million to grant together decided without prejudice to . if i say to you quite frankly , i would say : how sensitive the composition of the commission and the voting procedures , the success or failure of nice will not be judged on these issues - may be , spontaneously and in my opinion . the heads of state and government have given their support , but i must also remind you , mr president-in-office , why was this agreement was positive that the charter of fundamental rights as possible ? we must not verdruss situations in the remaining 50 days of the utmost importance that the negotiations on the political level by the spirit of nice , and it is therefore emphasized . in this respect , i would like to address - and i would ask mr poettering that he is listening to me , because what we in this parliament , therefore , we must also ladies and gentlemen , the european people 's party represented in the world outside . after all , what we know , the charter is probably the biggest trophäe in nice on the results of the heads of state and government in biarritz , in relation to the most complex issues of the treaty . the council really would meet the expectations of european citizens if it is a comprehensive consultation of the peoples of the national parliaments , to a charter , which is actually needs to be held . therefore , the sources of our union , and mr schmidt , on the election of the european parliament in general , and direct elections , and for us to decide 2009 at last , a president of the european union , the president of the commission decided that we are all invited to return to have the courage , mr giscard d ' estaing had 1976 and 1979 . in this context , i would particularly like to respond to the discrepancies between large and small countries what mr poettering has said . i would like to comment very briefly to the questions of external trade policy , because this is a very serious matter . this is something that all members of the european council in any case , valuable stressed . a second very positive aspect is the adoption of the charter in their entirety . apart from that seems to me that this fundamental question for the future of the european union and for their decision-making procedures in biarritz and has been assets . i hope it will succeed in this point to convince us and to make progress in nice . i would like to two specific examples : the right to work on the right to work in the social chapter of the council of europe contained in the charter of rights are not become a number of amended and been adopted . as for the direction taken by the larger member states and their desires . corresponds to the larger member states of the smaller part of a reform of the european union from the discussions indicating that the whole of europe , including in biarritz , were conducted the discontent on both sides are proof of the negotiators , that a reasonable compromise on hinbewegen . the leadership of europe has no clear visions formulated . a commission , the criteria for the representation of the individual member states is structured , shows little vision . in this centralised union would have less than the small states in the zweikammernsystem influence the small countries of the united states . after the summit of all concerned to find a solution to the violence and dialogue between barak and arafat to set in motion , we have recognised , although it seems as if the violence . sharm-el-sheikh where but were , to put a stop to again how difficult it is briefly had bezwungen mr barón crespo , and to express my party , which is not true . bad whistle-blowers , have obviously led things about italy it is important progress in the european energy tax , the principle of unanimity in the past by blocked . we should not come to the fear is that we could go on direktoratslösungen that , in the small states . in my opinion , the convention has done excellent work , and i am proud that i had the pleasure of members of this body . the question is , in the intervals in relation to the principle of large and small countries should be applied in the second hypothesis completely equal rotation . the success or failure is not only the first pillar - these are some elements of the codecision procedure to important subjects , the maintenance of article 250 in its present form , the place and the commission 's role in the closer cooperation , on the basis of which we cannot assess whether ultimately extension of qualified majority voting , together with immediately . mr president , i would first like to thank all of pierre moscovici , chris patten and the large number of members of the european parliament to be forgotten , since 1999 , once again for the great movement for a european constitution . vaclav havel , carlo ciampi , joschka fischer , up to jacques chirac , by michel barnier to up to costa simitis , without florence , jacques delors , jacques altiero spinelli and fernand herman and up to current used we should have the commercial europe is not too much criticise this says a socialist , because it has created more wealth - you - for all . we should at least some of us on this objective , and because we do this , we should also say how it is to achieve . i have noted with satisfaction that the proposals presented recently at the intergovernmental conference , in fact , i agree with the views expressed totally or partially . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , you had a debate this morning on the issues on which it considers necessary , the opinion issued in april this year to the intergovernmental conference to complement the rapporteur , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen liked your house takes place . therefore , it seems to me , despite the constitutional framework - as i would like to say - to make a more open than the opinion of parliament in the introduction of such a difficult respect for the existing cooperation . as you know , this presupposes that we certain political decisions , far more far-reaching than the three earlier i referred to the requirements of the advance . i myself have stressed that the method used for the charter is a erwägende possibility . however , i have understand that in addition to the aspect of your question is another concern linguistic behind . for this reason , i would like to thank you for the form and content of your initiative . the introduction of closer cooperation should not to create new institutions , in addition to the existing institutions of the union . it is time to revise the treaties . the european council of europe , the charter of fundamental rights in the treaties , and to make the citizens in their rights are violated , access to the european court of justice to open this general consensus violated , with its refusal to european legally binding . otherwise , i think , a europe of citizens , not to have . paragraph 8 : the constitution should - and i quote - ' of the questions laissées ouvertes ' rules . this is what i was not changed since then have to explain . secondly , it is a lack of leaves aside for the future of the union and the interests of citizens , of course , the questions which are of particular importance . according to the russian orthodox church bolschewistischen - a revolution for the whole world - in lengthy discussions on the design of the roben to fastenzeit minister , the transmission issued on the eve of the event that it should have fatal consequences . the rapporteur has mentioned : it must all respect the spirit of the treaties and must not run counter to the community acquis must , therefore , enhanced cooperation of all the guarantees are open . however , i should like to point out that it is not right that the requirement to set up in this direction - a compulsory referendum , specifically the proposed amendments to decide on a point seems to me - or to go in all member states . we really have a full debate on the two issues , which are different in character , but in a meeting point . we are prepared to ensure that there is , therefore , during the french presidency and the adoption of a meeting in november it during the vote will take place . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) what does " the introduction of the possibility of a part-time working for older employees ' for more than a threat to the retirement age for far too high in many countries ? as you know , eat pensioners as well as the marmelade like children . i have pensioners , the pensioners ' party in the european parliament have asked whether they would like to drink wine sent me on the genetically modified . furthermore , if not covered by the need to be marketed in exceptional cases standardvermehrungsgut other categories . i therefore ask you , mr president , the different labour costs , therefore , not a restriction of free competition in the european union ? therefore , voted against it could only what i did . despite the increasing liberalisation in the european union is still a constructive role in achieving of social and economic progress , state aid . for the environment , the safeguarding of public services and the guarantee of income for the inhabitants of the same weak regions can this aid indispensable . we are at the risk of aid under the pretext of the target for competition between the small and medium-sized enterprises to want to ensure that the eu after the consolidating its control over the significant state aid , the less extensive will take carefully . section vi - economic and social committee if we look at the implementation of the budget for the categories 2 , 3 , 4 and 7 , we see that only 8 % of all payments are covered by an average of fälligkeitspläne commitments . three years ago , we have with our employment initiative , we started by small and medium-sized enterprises , halfen chancenkapital to obtain . parliament wants the in two ways . only then will the european institutions also fulfil its mandate . i should like to expressly thank the vice-president responsible for the budget at this point , mr gerhard schmid , for the constructive cooperation . we want this committee is its capacity to work , but we cannot allow that there least to the demands of the european parliament , as part of the budgetary authority will be heard . this means that the total annual budget , and that is the background to the assessment of the commission 's proposal and of the proposal that we make the year 2001 offers the last parliament . we also want a review of the administrative expenditure . since 1985 - and i tried to achieve that , in the procedures of the european parliament , the financial impact of the resolutions adopted by the plenary , 85 , since parliament 's committee on budgets will be taken into account . i would like to thank you for the care of the joint declaration on their way of proceeding could give i end , mr president , by the other institutions . today you have to decide on a budget in the first reading by the council amended . what the structural measures , the proposed budget compared with the 2000 budget , in fact remained the same . the council 's attitude towards a revision of the financial perspectives is purely businesslike . if we look at these three different figures , we see that there are still considerable differences , purely quantitatively , of course the content . i must point out that it is the comitology procedure after a long debate last year , a new decision , and i have little hope that it was with the council on the re-open this debate . in the financial perspective for the time for the meda programme were 8.1 billion allocated eur berlin until 2006 . i would therefore urge the council and the committee on budgets here in parliament in its foreign policy ideas to think in foreign policy and not just haushaltspolitisch . the second concerns the aid for victims of a special treatment in violations of human rights , the institutions need . the result of the important work of the rules , otherwise , we consider the position of our committee should pending a compromise here in the time , we can support emac-ausschusses open . we only need to involve the television and the problems of the middle east , in order to remind you look at every day . i therefore hope that we in the vote tomorrow , but on the necessary majority for the monitoring centre in dublin come ! mr president , allow me , on behalf of the committee on agriculture and rural development , first of all , a few comments on rural development . we have the approval indikativer resources totalling eur 2 million for an information campaign on the cfp has been requested . the commission must , in order to achieve a reasonable agreement with morocco , and task of the council and the governments concerned , it is political impetus strong arguments to negotiate in these negotiations . we look at the 2001 budget today , the pictures of the serbian population before our eyes . as a whole , we hope that these amendments are adopted . an important opportunity to turn to the ombudsman or petitions to parliament to put to the people is open to heard is . first of all the parliamentary budget . great surprise to many members of my delegation we adopted unanimously . 400 amendments were tabled by some of my colleagues have , therefore , for many of us in the committee on budgets right from the beginning of september a kernstrategie surprising . it is difficult to see how the new posts can be resolved , in both the commission and the council antiquierte complicated and methods for the management of many programmes to be applied as long as verwaltungsproblem . this parliament has repeatedly shown that it is very rigour on the basis of its work in power in the last few years . it cannot be needed on obligations , but if it is to say that we are now too far , because we now need a bit over the years very speaks and repeatedly zusagt figures , zurückschneiden ! if we really need it again , we are only a few million on the lines to make much more can be - then it is not , we believe that the speckseite out and , if the people way . as the budget of the last year , the pressure on the one hand , the consolidation of austerity , as it was decided to the financing of enlargement , on the other hand , the acute financing needs of the stability pact for the 2001 budget was almost certainly not lösbaren conflicts in the framework of the interinstitutional agreement and the balkans . demands for better performance contain more staff . the adoption of this amendment in its original form , would the point of departure for a change the situation , but it is by the committee on budgets rejected by a majority . unfortunately , there are many examples of the privileged treatment of highly dubious views on the financing of european political parties to the european citizens of the benefits of the euro will be a loss of confidence , the europeans of our friends of the european central bank largely responsible for the prince programme vergeudeten sums of money , with the objective of federalist associations with many ngos or with the working methods and to the danish endures during this convinced for : parts . finally , mr heaton-harris has rightly pointed out , in which the citizens with a propagandastory about european integration , of course , with its amendments to the one-sidedness of many european programmes traktiert at the expense of the citizens themselves . in addition , our administrative systems must be modernised . we must also set an example . the latter is a good example of the meda programme for the mediterranean basin , a geographical area of the highest strategic importance . if some of the tracking of funds in category 4 of the priorities of this parliament , then do not forget that we in the vote in the committee on cuts or necessary to talk to finance some priorities . abundantly clear . this figure is therefore a clarification . thank you , mr wynn . the existence of a certain area of policy , while some of the countries of the european union must also applies to the applicant countries . elements of flexibility , and what can or not it simply means real to progress this wish . i believe that austria has no reason to complain about the outcome , quite the opposite . it would certainly have to make a useful contribution of the recommendations of the regional organisations and the experience of the neighbouring countries . in 1984 , did 0.2 % of the landowners in colombia 32 % of land . it is not the task of the council , and painful aspect of this extremely sensitive to comment on this or that question . but we cannot start a debate on issues in this way , as i said , extremely complicated . question no 10 by ( h-0722 / 00 ) : i shall therefore not a definitive answer on this difficult issue . we only have the feeling that this seems to confirm that the presidency of the council in the treatment of this issue in a lack of consistency and your answer , in a way , it is . that is why the emergence from this tax is not , of course , be zero . i forgive you , but we must look to the rules of procedure . the reason why it is not here to discuss these issues have been , and we believe that we must have the same things on several occasions and our waste of valuable time so that we already have been on the right side of quiet , is so . the highest possible level of health protection is also a transitional solution to the adoption of this text communicable spongiform encephalopathies in june 2000 , a decision to expensive of risk materials in connection with these diseases have been adopted in order to prevent any further spread of disease prevention and for the consumer to be guaranteed . i have no other than the information that i have just outlined . we follow the work of the commission and the council on the passage through the streets of bonifacio for this reason , i would particularly like to know whether you are well informed about this , but what is known as a very difficult , we are only a few hours of saving and the risk run by large ships in transit through these two countries and in the whole of the european union and a disaster , and would have the inhabitants of corsica and sardinien whether it is possible and projects , large ships container simply banning ? erika i and meeresstraße old rostkähne somewhere in meeresstraße cause . that is why we should in fact , the commission 's proposals for a revision of the staffing policy support . in the budget for the new money for kosovo and serbia needs . finally , i would like to express the hope that it is in the budget of eur 50 million abzweigen can , in order to finance the peace agreement israel-plo . we will therefore propose that the search for further - which we already know that they are found to the definition of new commitments , which improved the quality of expenditure and to be achieved in that not one euro squandered under the current conditions , but interinstitutional objectives in the european parliament new measures not sources of finance . remember that in the european policy as any other sector in the moderate options may not more , the majority of form . it is rather verdunkelung because of the enlightenment , and the position in relation to the activity-based budgeting disappointed me today shown . furthermore , as a result of the actions of this , we division in the budget as a political instrument understands the distribution of expenditure reflects the clear political priorities . we should take this opportunity to seek a solution to this debate on financing the reconstruction of the balkans next year and a number of years , so that we must not following was once again . transition from price support to direct income support to farmers who are interested in the development of a sustainable agricultural sector will know that the hauptvorstoß the recent reforms agreed in berlin is a continuous for products to change . a budget is always more than a sober zahlenreihe . moreover , it is also the expenditure for the agricultural policy , for the meda programme , for the socially excluded , in order to cut funds for the financing of the european union 's commitments in kosovo and to ensure immoral in yugoslavia . quite simply , the people in this winter in serbia must not frieren still are starving . on the other hand , i would like to express my concern that the various jugendparlamente were included in the socrates programme . for the benefit of the council must of course , the council has clearly stated its responsibility for the poor implementation of some of the außenprogramme . we now need a stable solution for this aid and in even greater for the necessary planning for the whole of the western balkans . i think that the majority would be prepared to accept that the money properly used , such a sum provided . i share the views and concerns the rapporteur , mrs rühle , this afternoon , in connection with the chapters on research and social measures describing . two weeks ago was the joint parliamentary assembly of the acp countries noon . at the same time , we want the fund be used to tobacco growers to look for the current budgetary resources for research and information to the produktionsalternativen . i would like to stress that the european union , the most direct and positive influence had one think strongly what northern ireland . in accordance with this model is compliance with the rules and procedures by an independent authority and in the last instance by the courts is guaranteed . therefore , be able to conclude , and this is a very complex and many technical difficulties with regard to the protection of privacy is particularly sensitive area , the text of a behafteten a codecision procedure for the first time we in the first reading . it is a very positive that their tasks were not brought together . for example . aware that the schengen system over 10 million citizens are stored in europol be extended , the police authorities of the 15 member states centrally , only the powers on the resources available to other data records on almost 1.5 million under the control of a authority , neither the really a role to play . whose powers constantly information from the individual is zusammenlaufen that said , i would like to take the presence of commissioner , i think that we not only for the protection of the citizen , but also for the use of these technologies in the sense of better quality of the citizens of europe to intervene and interaktiv in view of the new technologies should ensure to point out that with the european institutions to communicate . 54 , 57 and 58 , 60 to the text of the council in points on which the commission can accept amendments nos 1 , 2 , 4 and 10 , 12 to 40 , 42 to 64 is in . it goes without saying that its opinions on the legislative proposals on the protection of personal data will be very helpful in this respect , it is a significant contribution to the legislative debate between the institutions to do . does the treaty so that the outermost regions , this is a difficult economic and social situation in the difficult situation and the development of these regions . greatly affect their standing by your cooperation , through special disadvantages which in this way will the strategy on a high level of employment for promoting economic and social progress contribute . i am therefore with great interest to the development of the commission 's proposals , so that the characteristics of pursuant to article 299 ( 2 ) of the treaty of amsterdam , soon to be taken into account . normative we expect mrs sudre my congratulations . for many europeans are some outermost regions , only a touristisches objective on the map . our belong to the highest levels of unemployment of the union . i am pleased that the committee i presented to the amendments adopted by a large majority . i think it is particularly important that the outermost regions in the pan-european transport , energy and telecommunications networks integrated . the unanimous approval of the report presented by the members of the committee on regional policy is a proof of the loyalty of the european parliament to be a sudre by our colleague margie of its most important duties . we can achieve this , if we want to call on the whole of the conditions for the treatment of these three areas and , in particular of the outermost regions , which we are discussing today , to take further action will be necessary - not more time to discuss and believe that it with the situation idyllischen - it is not satisfactory . this article will not in a position to do everything possible to strengthen and - i think this is necessary , but he , our action , to extend and improve . in the preparation of the necessary proposals , the commission is working , of course , with the member states and the regions concerned together . the wise men - as we know , a lasting and , therefore , i believe that you depending on their actual level of development permanently on the support of the special measures are dependent on regional policy and the difficulties of these regions . in the course of the year 2001 , once again , to such a meeting with the implementation of the programme has been presented in march , if we could be carried out a bit further . the presidency has been decided that this matter is completed , and i accept this without reservations . i think that parliament should best in the current rules , because - as a colleague has said - not the equipment which does not work , but the individual members to vote . subsequently correct , then we would never have forgotten , and if we could vote other often end . i am in fact , what i osce . ultimately , mr commissioner , it is necessary that the competent services of the commission in cooperation with the member states , a system homogener and effective controls in the whole of the food chain and build the network of lebensmittellabors developed , and in coordination with the commission , apart from the authority and vote in the european union action . as it may be , must not overlaps with national forschungsinstituten and the eu-forschungszentren worked in the scientific research . today , we are discussing a white paper , and we subjects let some important principles should be set . these procedures have been changed and improved in the united kingdom , we have also set up an agency for legensmittelstandards . finally , i would like to point out that we also support amendments nos 11 and 13 , 14 , we call for a vote on amendment no 7 , 9 , and to some of the new amendments , as fraktionszwang without . against this background , i would like to say the following : firstly , the food safety can only be guaranteed if we strict official inspections , and these are just as effectively as the weakest link in each of its chain . we are discussing an issue which is quite clear , as superficial and inhaltslos our debate on the political unification of europe . we entrust the european food safety authority alone scientific testing , in cooperation with our national authorities . this is the most important . lebensmittelbedingten diseases which europe today is affected , first of all , on the american continent . however , the conditions for access to the authority must be determined , so that efficient and rapid action is guaranteed . we should also point out , as some speakers have done , in particular mr whitehead , mrs gebhardt and much more than a new regulation is that the white paper any of the union . mr president , i am pleased , and gratitude to the commission , which has started to mr bowis and the whole of the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy , both the work for a better food safety as today . i regard as particularly important amendment no 17 , which called for a participation of consumer organisations . another point is the review of the legislation on the labelling of foodstuffs and for the retail trade , by the consumer in relation to the traceability of products and their ingredients and the identification of any risks and possible . crises in responsibilities properly informed , at last , both for the wholesale complex i think that new legislation is not the right response , if existing provisions are not respected . the vote in the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy , we succeeded in restoring the scope of the references to the role of small and medium-sized businesses for the preservation of different eating habits have included a certain degree of balance , we ernährungsprobleme and extended by a number of important . mr president , i would like to congratulate the rapporteur on his very constructive and logical approach to the other colleagues , mr bowis , this problem . mr president , the fact that the white paper on food safety itself has no legal affects the importance of which he is without doubt , not to play in the slightest double . the rapporteur and very many members of our committee , i have placed the emphasis on what is regrettable . reasonably , including the food authority with independence and integrity of the authority of the position of the european consumer is best served . in the course of this process , i have often thought that we in the selection of the rapporteur had a happy hand . mr president , i would like to congratulate my colleague , mr bowis , for his laudable attempt to be included , and would like to thank him particularly the more general reference to the concept of food express all opinions in his report that he has accepted . finally , the policy must not shirk its responsibilities . the most important task is , however , that this body of scientific bodies and the willingness of the governments in the member states buys his decisions to accept the respect of other public confidence . as i see a food authority for the future . we have the world health organisation in geneva . i verschweige not that i am in favour of the publication of the white paper against the authority to have . it is therefore to ensure that the european union has , in the context of this unanimous approval to the economic consequences for the producers analysed the highest lebensmittelsicherheitsstandards must stoßenden approach . the scope of the authority independent scientific advice , research and independent controls and inspections and early warning system , but also certainly coordination to restore confidence . covers then : i would like to take this opportunity to the speakers , the solution in relation to the promotion of local specialities and traditional products exist , requested that this issue in the hygiene rules assure a discrete is taken into account . it will facilitate the commission to present a balanced proposal , the position of parliament and the many players in the area of food safety as far as possible in the be taken into account . our parliament deals with the issue of anti-personnel mines , but rather the decisive factor for the signing of the ottawa convention , is not the first time this issue was alongside other in political terms . i repeat my request for a split vote on the various parts of the wording of the text as a whole , i think that is to improve the coherence of the budget , and the rejection of amendments nos 10 and 19 , because amendment no 29 , in certain misinterpretation . and this is the first question is this : the countries which have not signed , the european union , particularly the commission , the signing of the ottawa convention , must be asked . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we all know what the consequences of the anti-personnel mines , although it in individual cases , often great military reasons . parliament has called for a single budget line and a proper legal basis platform for the broad range of our actions in this important area for the first time this issue 1996 on the agenda , as a horizontal brought it to be created . i cannot hide the fact that the powers of persuasion of the european union to other countries by the fact that something is limited in some member states with regard to the problems signing and ratification of the convention to exist . the effectiveness of mine action is the most , if this individually tailored to the special conditions of their situation . parliament knows that there are many of our proposals on the reform of the examination of individual projects , and in the discussion with the member states , as you know , we want to concentrate instead on general strategies and programmes . abandonment of external aid expensive to . many ngos have been set up to deal with this problem . we must , however , the united nations conference on the issue of landmines and say that many countries , mainly in the poorest regions of the world , still in a frightening scale of the risk of anti-personnel landmines and munitions and ammunition , not the explode , thousands of people in geneva , and over a year after the entry into force of the ottawa convention , four years after the first exposed . the commission must improve the quality of their programmes and accelerate their implementation . if these amendments , but whose effectiveness is right to examine carefully , you will , in my opinion , to say , however , that you mentioned some of the amendments campaigns , transparency , access to the ngos and funds for the moment , things work properly again very can be improved . mrs bonino and mr patten with your view that parliament and the council . i have listened very carefully to mr patten on this point , because it is obviously feel that we should be involved right from the management should leave even less . mr president , our group is committed rehabilitation of victims and for the whole range of actions , the produktionsstopp about the destruction of the minenbestände , the attitude of the marketing of up to the clearance of mines have for many years in this area necessary demands and public awareness . then it is the task of the member states , to support this process at international level . the mines are of course a major obstacle for reconstruction in these countries , and also for the return of refugees . the current rate of vacating - as was said earlier - to be much more than 100 years of the earth anti-personnel mines , to cleanse here , we would need to make . as i see concrete measures , we propose a review of the third area , and to understand . in bosnia , africa and elsewhere in the minentod or terrible violations preserve the effort to all of us is that we every child value . it must indeed be exerted pressure on the countries that have not signed , such as finland , or have not yet ratified the convention , such as greece . ladies and gentlemen , look at finland ! and finally , we hope that , in the framework of the future of the common european forces professionals , particularly on the ground , this is something that the mines which people trained tasks disappear . and stress that the list of developing countries most affected countries in particular nor . parliament 's demands could hardly have been clearer in contradiction to the lisbon objectives . the rapporteur , mrs van lancker , that parliament decides , particularly by the various areas in which legislation and by setting appropriate amendments to the proposal the commission wants to add certain rights at european level . it is to the luxembourg approach for the employment policy must be extended to the social protection and social exclusion . the major powers germany , france , great britain and italy are all agreed that the small countries of southern europe , want to join the european union subject to some extent in the eastern or their domination . we think , however , it is wrong to you now in relation to take in the convention - in accordance with its structure and therefore no legal in nature . teu , 6 , because it is not formally decided - it was for legal reasons . the incorporation of the new texts in the treaties could lead to legal uncertainty . moreover , the rapporteur theory of the so-called dual legitimacy of the european union , represented by the council is represented by the european parliament and the citizens of the mouthpiece of power in brussels modern new states . the swedish and danish social democrats have today voted against the report by oliver duhamel , on the constitutionalisation of the treaties . this , the european union must develop in the direction of a constitution , which includes the charter of fundamental rights . a constitution would only make sense if the democratic framework for a genuine european federation , a kind of the united states of europe , would form . he said that he is in line with the realised that we want to know regulated by a large part of the political class , our relations with the other countries prefer an international treaty . . ( en ) i welcome the report by mr duhamel as interesting and constructive contribution to the concept of the constitutionalisation of the treaties . we believe that a reorganization and simplification of the treaties of the citizens would facilitate the competence of the eu - and their borders , and the procedures to perform this responsibility clear . until the treaty of amsterdam in 1997 was an intergovernmental europe supersyndikat . the edd group is against the report by mr gil-robles gil-delgado , on the closer cooperation . it is the concept of a union of any form of cooperation within a single institutional framework , and the objective of a super-state geared to be too monolithischen ' ' unfolding . a general slowdown must therefore be prevented by certain member states through the development of closer cooperation a more rapid action is possible . the structures of the internal market work since the beginning of the 1990s very successful . - ( nl ) the cooperation at european level can be useful for the solution to cross-border problems . these regions could serve as versuchsstation for sustainable development excellent . the technocrats and to abolish the ' de mer our citizens in the overseas departments and , above all , our craftsmen with resources provided protects european judges , for example , the dues octroi ' . france has , however , departments in the indian ocean and in the caribbean . its independence is a prerequisite for its credibility . our vote is , therefore , to clarify the role and the composition of the planned european authority , but it also contributed their funding and its independence clarified our requirements . secondly , the european agency must be totally independent . we must take account of the additives in food and other parts of the animal feed and food safety , the problem of the composition of the ceilings for dioxin , and for pesticide residues in the nature of the agricultural and agroindustriellen practices nahrungsgüterimporte priority . we have voted for amendment no 15 , because we have the defence of the cultural heritage of europe in the area of production on the ground dear . in a category of expenditure remains virtually no room for manoeuvre . as we now want to 50 % in the budget line and 50 % in reserve are . the question is how this can be compatible with each other . a5-0300 / 2000 ) by mrs haug , on behalf of the committee on budgets , on the draft general budget of the european union for the financial year 2001 ( bud ) ) section iii - commission , ( c5-0300 / 2000 - 1999 / 2190 report ( madam president , my name appears in a number of amendments to this report . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) the real surprise this budget is in the external policies , where selfishness and miserliness prevail . by using the flexibility instrument resources can be released . . ( el ) i voted against the haug report and for the proposal of my group , the general budget 2001 voted to reject . we think , in particular to the new pilot project which information measures to combat paedophilia financed . this demonstrates the lack of commitment , not least for the eu project , even under the politically active citizens . in this way , fall 20 to 30 % of the markets , the private competition . since this is not guaranteed , with been report , i have voted against the report . in apples and pears and fruit and vegetable varieties , it is clear that enormous quantities of fruit and vegetables to be removed , what are the fruit and vegetables , in the fields and in the flax processing companies and allow farmers to grub up to 5 % , 8.5 % to 10 % of the aid in connection with the proposed cuts in zitrusfrüchten unacceptable if we low prices as a whole , not more verarbeitungserzeugnissen from the rest of their pflanzungen will force so that the verrotten national thresholds dezimieren rücknahmemengen . i have voted for this report because it meets the expectations of the portuguese organisations of the fruit and gemüsesektors a drastic change to the com in fruit and vegetables , because they believe that this is a deeply have called for national interests . report ( johan van hecke a5-0296 / 2000 ) the root of the evil is that everything , even the quality of the environment and the climate , the productive resources capitalist exploitation and the superprofiten sacrificed . in kyoto was that the rich countries to think , however , in a limited extent , the possibility of the emission reductions in their own ergebnisliste subsequently achieved with your help in other countries and their air even in purely starting point to achieved . - ( fr ) the fight against the greenhouse effect is a great challenge for the industrialised countries , and a duty , in particular , to the peoples of the third world , the consequences of climate change already pay with their lives . the art of life is appropriate to deal with these risks and uncertainties . the efforts of the suspected substances , possibly with the help of a legal framework to ­ ­ endokrin effective precise investigating and strengthened . consumers and smes is the internal market is not enough with the introduction of the euro , a profit . the banks are up to eur 12 500 to its central bank for the floor now by the member states on cross-border payments zahlungsbilanzstatistischen purposes . of course apply the same strict requirements in terms of safety and money laundering . we know the cross-border payments after the introduction of the euro have increased , not only a small amount of money and even cases in which überweisungsgebühren . the european central bank , with the implementation of a single european datenformats in payment transactions and with the support of the implementation of a single european bankleitzahl within the international iban-systems could help . the consumer , accept the euro is of crucial importance . madam president , mrs peijs ' report on the massenzahlungsverkehr in the internal market , the old request of the european parliament on the high costs for the cross-border payments in the union again . this is , in recital d of the resolution itself , where it says that the high charges for cross-border payments ' consumer confidence in the euro rocked the peijs report notes ' . so there is still much to do , but the means and the possibilities of politicians , what we can do in this area are lower than our room for manoeuvre in the question of payments in the internal market . the perceived as citizens understand that in this area , in the exchange rate risks and the electronic means of payment with of course , a transfer from munich to salzburg considerably more than a transfer from munich to kiel euro-markt will continue binnenraum , and the internet-banking increasingly disappear . in achieving this objective and we will still have to work for many years . on this occasion we will also have a shorter duration of the management of cross-border payments , as in the report by mrs peijs gedrungen will speak . the debate is closed . it is not the right policy , a pragmatic and the concept of the instruments of power , and not a proposal that the only serve to produce nothing would like to take advantage of the right to want to avoid giving priority to kmu-nahen under the pretext of thinly , would statistics in a practical at the heart of small businesses . specifically , but i have three comments on this programme . we should remember that the first community action programme was adopted in this area 1983 , i.e. 17 years ago . i am always been to ensure that this policy should be on the basis of a pragmatic and effective . i would outposts of the economy and innovation in the front line and the risks involved in these areas are exposed to describe them as real directly . finally , we also need the results of the kolloquiums ' governance ' last week in brussels under the auspices of the institute for zukunftsforschung has taken place , and the folgearbeiten to take account of this , because there are many of our connections to this subject . science and technology in seville kolloquium the rapporteur lists a number of priorities , in order to improve the environment for companies in europe . this is excellent , because technically correct for europe , competent and quickly can be helped . mr president , i should like to add the words of thanks for the excellent work of mrs montfort support . it is important to avoid a situation in which people constantly at the expense of others , measure well fail . this is unfair , and that is why i support this report . this is the guiding principle of the charter for small enterprises . the programme is designed , this information on the networks will be provided . the main objective of this plan are clearly , the control of immigration in the countries of the european union and the readmission of illegal in europe living in their homes . in particular , to the intensification of dialogue between europeans and local authorities and , as far as the commission and the council , in cooperation with the albanian , the italian and the greek authorities targeted actions are needed in albania , i would point out that measures to improve the internal security . the lack of social , economic and political conditions in combination with defective or lack of legal certainty and organised crime , lead to a massive wanderbewegungen . mr president , in contrast to mrs pack , i believe , the more groups to deal with albania , the better . of course , we cannot find a solution for the whole issue , but in the medium term , we must create security and justice , with zukunftsmöglichkeiten world with appropriate immediately . in addition , there is a gap between the donors and the united states - the financial resources , and will , on the one hand , and the local population on the other hand , we , the european union , dgl. projects . we should make use of the bilateral agreements , the activities of the peoples of the cold war , the place of residence , the conditions and on the prescribe conditions so that the immigrants to be a force of the economies of our countries and dedicated nationalist aspirations rather than in the spirit of the flames friendship and cooperation . promotes legally and clearly aufenthaltsdauer pay , hours , sozialversicherungsrechtlichen people are sent back to the integrated part of the good . however we must not be the focus of the flood of refugees , but as the situation in the region , can be improved so that the people to stay at home , as migranten- and contain . mr president , i believe that , as mr dimitrakopoulos said , the central question with regard to the economic , social and the internal security problems that affect the country in the reconstruction of the rule of law , in order to guarantee the safety for the citizens and the restoration of the image of the institutions and local administrations to support albania is still very true . as mr liese , i am of the opinion that we need sharing in the asylum and refugee policy . the action plan for albania and the regions bordering was adopted in june this year . it is , therefore , in the sixth action plan . it is sometimes frustration , but also , and we want to work and for the necessary time and the necessary staff available to the other community institutions have to call upon the mühsal not to spare , specific to the european fremdheit right itself , but also the detailed work . we want to send out a signal to the citizens that we complaints about the lack of quality of legislation and the complaints about this report and centralism überregionalisierung seriously . this is , of course , very important issue , although the small number of participants in the forthcoming debate this now , in this house at first sight , in fact , dagegenspricht . furthermore , the report inevitably raises the question of subsidiarity , which is something controversial in this house this evening . in the light of this principle , a survey of legislation provides for this simpler , more transparent , efficient and more focused and to make unnecessary legislation to remove , as in paragraph 6 of this report would be of interest , that you have proposed . after the conclusion that it is not a political principle : it is a very closer examination of the report , i am theological . this means that the recognition of the principle of subsidiarity to the lowest intermediary organisations , the social groups , families and the citizens as the only really the sovereignty of the legislative and the administration must exercise , communities authorities must be guaranteed . let me therefore summary . i give the floor to the commissioner . this is an area that we should consider whether a voluntary agreement , provided it can be monitored , an alternative to regulate in detail the guaranteed everywhere , or should we will be implemented and enforced ? i have voted for the report , although i am not passed with some amendments , because it with the high wechsel- transfer costs and the euro area of concern . - if fifteen months , then the same notes and coins in circulation , the procurement of this single currency in eleven member states also outside of their own country of residence expensive . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i must first express my regret that the commissioner for fisheries , mr fischler , not here today . it must be fully taken into account the fishing interests of the european fleets and the moroccan fishing sector , but this agreement , the fischereizusammenarbeit gives impetus . therefore we have to create a partnership agreement with morocco , which , as you have said , on 30 october in brussels on monday , in a meeting will explain its position responsible takes place . a few weeks ago i was even in the south coast algeciras . this is a spanish morocco . in the course of time , has shown that it is not only is difficult , but it could even be impossible . the union can fishing activities carried out by the fisheries agreements with third countries and fishing rights harmonise . in a swedish fischereifachzeitschrift was one of these vessels fishing in moroccan port has been described as the country has brought to read , as his in el aaiún . it is not only for the fisheries agreement with morocco , because the agreement with mauritania and , soon , with the guinea to the test . all this is in question and all our . it has now reached the turning point , the meeting on 26 september 11 months needed in order to reach , and so we know the commissioner fischler to appreciate that the results of his mission to morocco and the high level , even with the king , discussions on the 30.10. , last measures . however , i would like to send a few very brief messages to the commission , represented by the worthy of today , commissioner busquin . my question to the commission is not achieved this agreement is concluded an agreement to stimulate production , then the commission intends to take structural measures to compensate for the backlog in the affected regions will result in agreement with morocco or if the commission signalisierten conditions : if the moroccan ? as we had predicted , were the negotiations with the moroccan authorities extremely difficult . the result of the failure of the negotiations , the union has finally the political and moral duty , the fishermen and shipowners with sufficient support to the aid to ensure their livelihood should undesirable . the overcapacity of the fishing industry of the eu must be reduced . that is why we need as quickly as possible close economic and political relations with morocco , with the enforcement of our european fishing interests . therefore , the commission is working on the basis of a new partnership , on the one hand , the promotion of the fisheries sector , the fleet , aquaculture , industrial processing and the research and on the other hand , the granting of european fishermen , fishing opportunities for both sides useful comprehensive in morocco . rights of the lecturers ' this is not only in the german language is a clear difference . in july 1999 , the commission , this infringement proceedings brought before the court . if it is not to the harmonisation of systems must , therefore , as things stand , the respect of the principle of subsidiarity not lead to a demand for a privilege dismissed as discrimination is probably what today is longed-for . it is true that the previous commission under mr santer was perhaps not the best , therefore , it was also . members of the committee on legal affairs and the internal market for the whole of the union and from all parties have to show that there is no sense to talk about rights , and for rechtschartas engage in real , effective measures , so that they are recognised and enforced and that is in this case , the problem if we do not arise cases in which the human rights be refused gathered here . that is , in a modern europe is not acceptable . of course , falls under the principle of subsidiarity , but in the context of the free movement of workers and the ban on discrimination to all of us , although we are particularly , because i come from a federal state - the principle of subsidiarity as the principles of the cooperation in the european union and to ensure that the kompetenzaufteilungen between the levels in europe after the principle of subsidiarity regulated . treaties are board - and i very profess as quickly as possible education this can no longer discrimination . mr president , could you fachbegriffe in italian , french and german or an expert in the operation of an excellent surgeons can operate ? ( the sitting was suspended at 10.56 p.m. ) we are talking you our deepest sympathy . has the floor , mr ceyhun , he speaks , as rapporteur , and also on behalf of the socialist group . with regard to the statements by the council and the commission shares the third asia-europe meeting with the council is currently no statement that he wants to make . it is therefore an issue that affects many citizens can affect many citizens , not only spaniards , because in this area , for which there are hundreds of thousands of european citizens from the 15 member states of the union live apart from the outside , because it is , after all , is the sol , many of the treaties and under the euratom treaty is within the competence of the commission , and in their einzugsbereich not even a notstandsplan or costa del . madam president , it is very interesting , from the spanish minister for home affairs , mr mayor oreja , to hear that basque nationalists are meaningless , even if a future cease-fire talks with sad , but it herausspränge . i should questions whether the decision of the british government is planned is a discriminatory tax for nichtbritische to introduce a statement by the commission for this week güterkraftverkehrsunternehmer ? it is also a problem with xenophobic , racist and authoritarian inclined to verbünden , this is not just a serious threat to italy , but on the whole of europe as the so-called european parties , the european liberal , democrat and reform party , tend more towards forces . the report but there are also critical comments on the french proposal . these demands are the subject of amendments nos 2 and 4 of the karamanou report . the initiative of the french presidency , we are debating today are , the aim of the two preceding general rechtshilfe-übereinkommen in criminal matters , in particular in the area of the fight against money laundering , to improve . i can only say this , then this is not the fault of the council and the fight against money laundering damaged if the idea of parliament . on the results of its work , we can only congratulate you . the way that is , of course , as mr marinho says - and i am quite his opinion - on the communitisation . all the speakers have done until now agree that this is a very valuable initiative , and we agree . europol must operate across borders . there are too much in our modern europe , however , i would first like to see the mutual recognition of fair and a hurried before i recognition of standards . i understand that it is very difficult , because we in the construction of a fragmentation of the instruments must be . but this is a need to strengthen the european union , and it is also a desire of the citizens , we have to take account of the citizens of the european union have a right to security as a location for business . we must fight against money laundering and , in particular , the construction of the internal market for financial services , capital and an effective police and judicial cooperation between the member states - as effectively as possible , and after the liberalisation of the markets in the european union a intransigent us be clear that it needs . in the right to work as a finanzberater nothing is adopted , the lawyer as such , would not exercise his profession . however , i am , of course , aware that the question raised by several members of the conditions under which the confidentiality of the legal professions the rejection of judicial cooperation in the area of combating money laundering can justify , is very delicate . this applies in particular for serious cross-border crime , and gravest . as a whole is the task of such a big and important , not only be solved by the council . hence the need to strengthen the rights of citizens and create a legal instrument zweckdienliches by we recognise the jurisdiction of the court of justice , particularly in relation to interpretation and decisions . if i favour , but i think it is wrong , which is why we vote against the project for a legal framework , also for more cooperation and coordination . a second point is of interest . that is why the full participation in this house , so good . as several members have raised , i would like to take this opportunity to you in all frankness - as mr coelho has just done - to say that we can see , in which the political will of the council expresses the police cooperation in the area of judicial cooperation in this initiative , above all , the first initiative existing lagging behind in comparison to the very sensitive issues to catch up . it is therefore important instrument for me to the judicial control of europol to ensure . the programme for research in the areas of agriculture and fisheries , part of the fourth framework programme , which was agro-industry exporters from 1994 to 1998 , was fair . given the importance of the research programme for agriculture and fisheries , it is regrettable that some of the problems have been established , the organisation of the programme is concerned . the court of auditors ' report on the programme , the langenhagen report refers to the first time in december 1998 and 1999 have been sent to the commission has been published in march this year is only fair , while the sektorschreiben auditing in february . on behalf of the committee on fisheries , i would like to say a few points . you have kindly referred to the atmosphere in which the report ; it was in dialogue with the court of auditors and the commission services , and you have made it clear how important this is arose sign of you . this shows that the commission has not been inactive and your comments seriously . i come now to the issue of mrs morgan , the amounts paid for by articulated . thank you very much , commissioner . the überreichung should take place during the december part-session . it does not want to see some heads of state and government , in my firm conviction that the opening of the determination required by this parliament , even if it so often and constitutional process . i am extremely pleased with them in detail on this draft the charter of fundamental rights of the european union before the final opinion of this house to adopt this text that today i have the opportunity to debate trefflichen . i personally have no doubt that this is the opportunity to offer . however , there was also some critical comments on the substance of the charter . this is an important position , i welcome . it was a great success for parliament - and here the groups have zusammengestanden , that is a positive result , we have achieved , the european parliament with 16 members in this grundrechtskonvent - was represented . this is a great success , as it is a major european newspaper on 26 september 2000 , the charter , as i think betitelte visiting card for europe . it is therefore my group to be absolutely fundamental , in article 6 ( 2 ) of the treaty to include a reference to the charter . in fact believe that europe will finally be survive as mere free trade area and the path of liberalism , in order to overcome the foundations of a europe of citizens have the possibility of ausgetretenen have many build . the civil society is determined to mobilise and to the european summit in december in nice to make their voice and to demand a charter , the real guarantees for the citizens of europe offers . in addition to the signatures also more effective political commitments , the day to day by all member states and all political forces to this end , we need to be implemented . let us therefore wines or pretend that we welcome this great event celebrate the nevertheless , let us meaningless . the convention has done excellent work . both the persönlichkeitsrechte , the rights of citizens and social rights . this is the right to good administration , which was mentioned by mrs malmström , is one of the most significant progress . i am not sure how much scope for this great project to speak . however , i have heard mr blair his contacts definitely to nothing . the glass is half full or half empty madam president , the last time you have spoken . but the council of cologne , with the support of the body , the world has forgotten that this is a responsibility of the national parliaments , this is a policy of small steps decrease in the context of confusion has played its role as stifter wonderful finally achieved all . excessive grundrechtsschutz is just as harmful as inadequate ! if we hear of some members of the contributions , we see that this information is more necessary than ever . the great question now is the purpose of the waters of the opinion of the charter . we are therefore disappointed and of course we will vote for the charter , but it is not the necessary enthusiasm for europe , which can be achieved as usual , the governments of some of the other - will have to take the historic responsibility , however , with the feeling that , and the commitment of the citizens and more than once again . dissatisfied . the rapporteur , mr duff , that this is an important step towards improving the quality of european integration . the need to study the statements by the convention and the case-law of the two associated with the charter , who has , i recommend a 49 courts . mr president ! for the first time since the creation of the european union will lay the foundations for a constitution , a constitution for the supranational entity , as the union laid here . but we have understood nothing for a social and democratic europe , for a europe of citizens . demonstrate . until then , the draft charter in the environmental groups , churches , trade unions , and many other groups in the member states and candidate countries of the union as a basis for the interesting debate on the future of the cooperation between the peoples of europe can this parties serve . i would like to comment on three points in the course of the morning of my colleagues have already been raised . the charter , which strengthens the common values , is the basis of our community , it also makes us today is to be adopted , not only fundamental rights and should be visible . i therefore support which of course , a reference to the charter in article 6 and its subsequent inclusion in the treaties aspire to . bernard connolly case , the commission for a decision of the court of first instance is not allowed think of the critical book on the published . this clarification is particularly important at a time when the union is faced with the task of the legal position with regard to the rights and obligations of legally resident in the european union to nationals of third countries . personally , i am c
