we know very well that the present treaties are not sufficient and that it will be in the future necessary to develop a structure more efficient and different for the union , a more constitutional structure that clearly indicates what the expertise of the étatses members are and what are the expertise of the union .
messages of concern first of all before the economic and social difficulties that we cross , and this in spite of a sustained growth , fruit of years of efforts on behalf of all our fellow citizen .
the present situation , particularly intolerable for number of enterprises of independent transportation and for agriculture , must be improven .
to find a relative agreement to the processes is a good thing in itself , but it is necessary to look after what this system cannot act by force as political striking .
they also have now a lucid vision of the rights that they must respect .
i am in agreement with his/her/its warning against the return , that tempts some , to the intergovernmental methods .
we are a lot to want a federation of états nations .
the reporters underlined the quality of the discussion and also the need to go farther. i can only join them of course .
i also thank all those that blamed me amiably for not having made this speech earlier. to those , i will answer that before pronouncing a speech , it is necessary to learn , to know , to value strengths in presence , because the political speech must always appear realist and close to the reality and objectives that we set .
i would like that one leaves from this cooperation reinforced to give some examples of the new european potentiality .
the vote will take place today to 12h30 .
the commission cannot accept the amendment 12 .
i will vote in favor of the regulation project .
the reports of the court of the accounts european don't quit to raise these misjudgments , of greece to portugal , besides .
consequently , we didn't vote for this report .
according to the defenders of these buses , these last are not only cheaper and can be used the world scale , but they are also more ecological because their consumption of fuel by passenger is less elevated .
the role of the " benchmarking " concerning diffusion of good practices through the eu is also underlined .
a coercive and global charter , enumerating some rights that it is necessary to respect absolutely , risk to put some difficulties to an ulterior stage .
i thank them all two for their great engagement .
we don't think however not that this dialogue can already be finished in nice in less than 3 months , and this only reason is sufficient to explain our refusal to accept the proposition aiming to write down the charter in the treaties on the occasion of the summit of nice .
the csu group to the european parliament is delighted that the present project of charter of the fundamental rights gathers and returns visible the fundamental rights of which arrange the citizens opposite the organs and institutions of the eu .
she/it is to the picture of the liberal europe that constructs itself .
indeed , i would have wished a frost of this charter so that one can continue to work her , as propose it a lot of non governmental organizations of different countries of the union .
(a5-0248 / 00) of m. queiró , on hungary (com (1999) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 (co));
i would like therefore also to propose you that the parliament doesn't present anymore , next year , of general report but is content of national reports to show that we become attached to a pursuit differentiated of the negotiations .
he/it seems me then that , on the basis of works that has been hired by the previous presidencies and by the commission , the french presidency will be able , of the less i hope for it , to give , at the time of the european council of nice , a precise enough view of the adherence process .
i told it and i don't have any difficulty retelling it here , the french presidency won't elude no of the difficulties that present themselves , what doesn't mean , of course , that we will have the time and the means to treat each among them .
this question is , of course , perfectly legitimate , but it is necessary to answer there for correct and precise way .
the widening is a vast perspective that we must land with a lot of generosity and with vision .
all results of the intergovernmental conference would not answer the gigantic pressure that the widening exercises concerning adaptation .
the second major change to which we attend and to which europe must adjust is the lightning acceleration of the economic evolution toward a world market and a world competition .
quarto: he/it ensues of it the principle that the étatses having started the process later have a good luck to catch up those that began earlier .
in the domains where investments considerable and long-term are necessary to arrive to the norms of the eu , it would be necessary to keep to the mind that the present members have them also , in such cases , solicited of long transient delays .
concerning security of the borders and struggle against criminality intervene also our norms and the advantages of the european cooperation .
let's look at the commercial exchanges that between the european union and the countries of central and oriental europe have currently .
i was happy that the commissioner finally begins to speak about informing the population to tell him that the fears of which one spoke were not a right to be .
but a thing is lucid - and i am delighted that m. verheugen underlined it once again: he/it can have there delay transient concerning respect of the democratic rules .
on this point , we need the help of the commission , bus even though will is there , the munitions sometimes make defect .
it is indispensable so that we can , as european union , to fix us the objectives to carry through our own reforms interns .
however , we don't agree with some aspects and questions essentials .
it carries prejudice to the european union , to his/her/its independent future in relation to north america and also to a politics of defense and european common security , since it creates some risks with russia and other countries .
we hope that there will be some results and that one should not send back to another intergovernmental conference what must be made so that the widening can take place .
i will be brief , as i was besides already , since i let three minutes of my speech time at the time of my first intervention .
it is very important and , from that point of view , i am happy that the commission works in a campaign of information that commissioner verheugen wants large at a time and decentralized .
but - and it will be my last word because i want to make really understand me: i am not on the subject a pessimist , i don't play small arm " , i want a strong option opposite the widening - to be believable , it is necessary to be also serious , it is necessary to be understood also , it is necessary to be able to collect the adherence of the peoples also , of the peoples of the countries candidates as our peoples .
for the hour , i don't see any necessity debating financial perspectives with regard to the widening .
i cannot tell it to you about none among them!
it is besides for the same reason that they also expressed seen it adhering to the european union .
we are going to give the speech now to the different reporters .
i saw myself confiding reporter's work about estonia .
as member of the moderate party , i am extremely saving when it is about the money of the taxpayers .
then only , seem me him , could make yourselves to you an idea of that that the latvians accomplished during the last years .
it is not sufficient; the set of the strategy must be turned more toward the citizens .
lithuania has a potential substantial of lasting economic growth .
to the largest sense , it touches to the cooperation of the european union with the federation of russia .
i now come from it to the other dawns weak: the support of the public opinion , inside and outside of the european union .
due to an intelligent fiscal politics , the foreign direct investments were set up , last year , to more of 5 ,45 billions of euros .
we should not interfere , especially not us other , germans!
the slovakian democracy develops itself of steady way , what always was not the case .
i intend , in this intervention , to underline and to take the six aspects of the evolution of the hungarian situation , that deserve to be put in inscription in the perspective of the adherence to the european union .
i am satisfied with to note that this theme has been considered in the general report on the widening presented by m. brok .
it is also and especially the case in the nuclear domain , where the legitimate preoccupations about the nuclear and environmental security risk to be exploited by the anti - nuclear lobby .
the formation of a group to high level is a measure that i recommend to my colleagues .
the report that i have honor to submit you and that has been adopted also to the unanimity in commission , note that the part of the territory controled by the legal authority fills the political criterias of copenhagen .
at this end , a role key will come back , without prejudice evidently of the clean role of the commission , to our high representative for the pesc , mr. javier solana .
however , the main problem to which malta must cope is that the government and the opposition judge the process of adherence differently and that the european union is attached to the fluidity of this process .
even between usa and mexico , the levels are nearer. it is why we decide , in the domain of the home market , for a reflexive , supple strategy and worthy of the challenge .
but that him i am also permitted to say my respect for the citizens of the countries of central and oriental europe who had courage , ten years ago , to descend in the street and that contributed to put in movement this process .
the society of information is important for the industry , old or new .
we are not able to either to let us dazzle by the percentages of communal right transposed in the national legislations .
but the ten new countries of oriental europe don't have such uncle of america .
it is also worth , and it is degrading , for the living animal transportation toward the slaughterhouses .
for all major legislation , we consider imposing an assessment of the impacts on health henceforth .
my report for opinion must also speak of the european union and must underline that the european funds for the regional development cannot continue to be bestowed on the basis of a simple distribution accountant between the regions .
elmar brok began its speech understandably while making notice that we will be all recipients of the widening , in particular us that we situate on this side of the present outside border .
the development of the fluvial transportation interns will be essential for ecological reasons , because we must separate quantities of goods of the road , and if we cannot transport them on rail , we should use the fluvial ways .
one also spoke or even of selfishness of populism , and the decrease of the course of the euro didn't certainly contribute to improve the things .
the message that we want to transmit to the countries candidates is the next one: don't let reroute you by the size of the reports and files that is before you .
unfortunately , there are too many parties that lost their ideology at the moment and that testify an insufficient idealism and an excessive materialism therefore .
if it is necessary to defer the right of acquirement of lands and lodgings to domestic use , let's defer it .
she/it exists until now , but is threatened certainly by the bureaucratic transparency lack and the manifest resistance , although non public , of some governments .
where are besides the millions of jobs promised by the treaty of maastricht?
whereas we are reviewing the treaties , some étatses already call to a new reform .
the big international investigation majority on this topic notes gains to the macro-economic scale , bound to the widening .
with the exception of minorities petty , no group politics puts however , in question the main objective of the slovenian politics , that is to enter as soon as possible in the european union .
if the union enlarged quickly , it would be necessary to disintegrate it strongly as it is proposed in the hold of position on the widening of the eldr group .
to my eyes , it is clear that the prescribed institutional regime has multiple consequences long-term on the health of the orphans .
i ask you therefore to sustain the propositions of active amendment in this sense .
and even we , european politicians , don't understand the process of negotiation enough well .
cyprus will become a way of bridge toward the countries of the region .
i wish to the negotiators the pursuit of the success of their work in this important domain .
a second shape of communication is also indispensable between our countries and the countries candidates to the adherence in order to explain them that that is the european union .
we cannot take the liberty to lose the impetus that existed in the beginning of the years 90 again more .
mr. president , first of all , as socialist reporter for the report on romania , i would like to congratulate the reporter for his/her/its excellent work .
it is also about for the institutions , for the étatses members , for us all , to show us at the height of this challenge , in relation to the fears of our own public opinions , and to recover the breath , the ambition and the vision of the founding fathers of europe .
i have the impression unfortunately that , in spite of all beautiful words and the numerous chapters that the council examined applied manner , this process of widening is not sustained propelled nor by the necessary political energy .
many countries of the union faced similar problems at one moment or to another of their development and can counsel bulgaria in order to help it to surmount those to which she/it must cope currently .
the democracy is not only a question of majorities , it is also a question of joint decision suitable of minorities .
the countries candidates must be on a foot of equality and their adherence must only depend on their own development .
at the same time , we should recognize the efforts agreed by countries as lithuania that catch up , so to speak , the lost time .
we have interest therefore to spread our system of rights and liberties until romania and it is an argument to put forward in the setting of the critical debate with the european public opinion .
however , he/it is a question around which the rallying makes itself - to know the one of the widening .
my group sustains the limitation of the periods of transition therefore concerning environment to a maximum of five years .
mr. president , it is necessary for us to give a positive impetus to the widening .
the debate remains certainly open with regard to the order in which these countries will be able to adhere , because it will be necessary to verify the state of advancement of their internal reforms also .
i am delighted with the very positive report on slovenia and the considerable efforts undertook by this country to satisfy the criterias of copenhagen. as chief of delegation , i could give time and again i account of it , all as the commissioner .
in my opinion , the proposition is worthy to be taken in consideration .
these shapes of violence and exploitation of the women must be condemned from now on and must be fought by all means , as well in the eu that in the countries candidates to the adherence .
to conclude , i would like to seize this opportunity to join me to number of colleagues , of which i share the thoughts and the preoccupations , and to underline the necessity to examine the question of the borders of europe finally attentively and , by continuation , of the extent of his/her/its widening , as well as the opportunity , for the european parliament , to write a special report to this topic .
the minute of the yesterday sitting has been distributed .
thank you .
it happens from time to time to us to recall , understandably , in this surrounding wall , that an europe of the citizens must be an europe within which the communal legislation protects their rights as it agrees .
i put to the voices the demand of plotting of the legal commission and the home market .
we know that these substances and undesirable products are very rarely substances to the violent toxicity , but that it is about substances that accumulate to term in the organism and that have a long life span , as the dioxine , the aflatoxines and the heavy metals as the cadmium , lead and mercury .
it is not possible to recover the guilty parties .
if one allows this dilution , at least are necessary to notify some the services of control and he/it agree to declare publicly that these dilutions exist because this problem must be returned public and make the object of a public debate .
it is necessary to put in evidence the following thing: the crisis of the dioxine was the criminal act result in opposition to the existing regulations .
mr. president , i thank the colleagues who are expressed themselves before me .
it was an imperious necessity .
for example , for the flours of fish , the value limits is different from the one that is proposed for the products of non maritime animal origin .
he/it is time to break with a deceptive interpretation of the subsidiarity principle that hears every day more to increase the tutelage of brussels on our nations .
like the reporter , i think that all these measures justify themselves , as he/it is justified to examine the case of these substances to which she/it makes reference , that is not poisonous in itself , but that increase the toxicity of the miscellanies .
unfortunately , a good part of the ancestral ability , of the peasant common sense , got lost , in this industrial agriculture era where the animals are only units of production and goods .
the new regimentations are going to regroup , to harmonize and to simplify the very detailed and complex sanitary prescriptions that were scattered up to here enters numerous instructions .
the number of people that wants to learn with precision what are the components is , according to my research , relatively restricted .
secondly , the agriculturists , who are the producers of ingredients of food for animals , undergo a change altogether. in the future , he/it should destroy a part a lot more important of their basis products .
the compensation is necessary even though it is clear that the agriculturists themselves are also very anxious of the well-being of their livestock .
the amendment 18 proposes to include water in the definition of foods for animals explicitly .
on the basis of these different assessments , the commission will propose to the étatses members of the measures appropriated to limit the presence of the substances concerned in foods for animals .
within sight of the amendments submitted to the adoption of this assembly , i am thankful to the parliament of his/her/its support in favor of the proposition .
to summarize , therefore , the commission can accept without reserve 15 to the 27 proposed amendments .
i leave from the principle that this time , they won't arrive there .
the commission promised that it would work there and it also announced that this list would not be ready tomorrow .
the agriculturists must simply know - and that , at least on demand and under shape of percentages - everything that these foods composed for animals contain and in what quantity .
to conclude , i would like to thank the reporter heartily , mr. graefe baringdorf zu , as well as mrs. roth-behrendt for their reports and to hope that the council will adopt a constructive attitude on the subject , so that we can succeed to a transparent system concerning the declaration of foods for animals .
all it , evidently , because of the drama of the esb that was a real novel , to several chapters .
the poisonous products , that affect the health of the humans and animals , are not acceptable .
but begin by the positive points .
the proposition to the exam is the beginning of a set of initiatives that leans on the white book on the food security .
thank you very much , mr. commissioner .
(the parliament adopts the resolution)
report (a5-0248 / 2000) of m queiró , in the name of the foreign business commission , the human rights , the common security and the politics of defense , on the demand of adherence of hungary to the european union and the state of the negotiations [com (1999) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 (co)]
report (a5-0247 / 2000) of mrs. nicholson winterbourne of , in the name of the foreign business commission , the human rights , the common security and the politics of defense , on the demand of adherence of romania to the european union and the state of the negotiations [com (1999) 510 - c5-0033 / 2000 - 1997 / 2171 (co)]
third finally , and it is maybe the most difficult condition , the council must agree on new institutional arrangements that allow the community to function effectively , efficiently and democratically after the widening .
even though one approves the principles of the article 13 , he/it is clear that the derivative legislation that the european union pulls of it goes sometimes very far , and that there is not a right to refuse to the countries candidates a right to the cultural differentiation .
i will finish while insisting on the fact that the process of widening must make itself of progressive manner , to the rhythm of the adaptation of the countries candidates .
. (are) in the present context and within sight of the reserves that began to make itself/themselves hear about the widening of the european union , he/it is important that the parliament puts a clear political gesture in favor of this one .
. the european union , since his/her/its creation , has vocation to gather the peoples .
the criterias of the council of copenhagen of 1993 , about democratization or the capacity to sustain the competition reinforce , in communal " acquirement manner , the reign of a wild and destructive capitalism .
a flight forward in the widening , in these conditions , risk to accelerate the drifts populists and fascisantes that point here and there .
the agenda of this sitting contains a report precisely having milked to the equality of the odds between men and women , that illustrates a new time the mediocre situation of the communal acquirement in this domain .
who could deny the entry indeed , in the european house , of poland of copernicus and jean-paul ii , of hungary tortured in 1956 in budapest or the capital symbol , prague , when the democracies popular défenestraient the chief of état and crushed the people of jan palach , immolated for the liberty .
a more extended europe , to the tasks and to the more numerous duties , needs more important financial resources .
i take advantage of this opportunity to address my greetings to the aged people and to the pensioners of estonia , while hoping that one takes care of their existence means within the european union .
i don't see any reason therefore so that latvia is not admitted within the european union , if it continues to progress to the same rhythm and once the union will have proceeded to the adjustments necessary of his/her/its institutional structure and his/her/its policies to face the widening .
i don't see any reason therefore so that lithuania is not admitted within the european union , if she continues to progress to the same rhythm and once the union will have proceeded to the adjustments necessary of his/her/its institutional structure and his/her/its policies to face the widening .
some progress are as obvious , in the domain of the environment , with the setting in uvre of the " national fund for the protection del'environnement " and the application of the principle of the " pollutant - payer " .
while making enter poland in the common house , the union will show evidence of justice with regard to the new newcomer: a justice that too long has him unsuccessful .
i hope that the czech republic will join the union quickly .
. (of it) i am pleased of the queiró report on the demand of adherence of hungary to the european union and i share most findings that the reporter pulls .
i hope that bulgaria will join the union not too far in a future .
poos report (a5-0249 / 2000)
it is about a just and balanced positioning that the council of ministers must take seriously in consideration .
i hope , to this subject , that the negotiations led under the united nation aegis will be able to succeed , so that the cypriot populations greek and turkish benefit , together , of the kindness of the adherence in the setting of a republic reunified .
- (of it) i am sincerely pleased of the poos report on the candidacy of cyprus to the adherence to the european union .
however , us , consumers , we situate to the ultimate stage of the food chain and are therefore the final case of the diversions and the food counterfeitings .
he/it especially values us cur to put in uvre , to the european level , and in a concrete way , the food security since the stall until the table , or since the pitchfork until the fork .
it is precisely because we are in favor of the development of cooperation relations , really brotherly and between really equal partners , between all countries of the world , that we don't have the intention , by our vote , to guaranty a masquerade .
the council informed the parliament of it before the vote in commission , but only just before this one , separating all luck thus deliberately to reexamine the question with me or with the parliament .
in my report , i ask for a larger representation and involvement of the ngo , a backing of the responsibility with regard to the european parliament , the establishment of a yearly report that should be debated to the parliament , a degree of possible most elevated transparency , the promotion of the memory of the past like instrument of struggle against the prejudices and the recognition of the multiple discrimination .
in the same time , the interests justified of the workers must be taken in consideration .
since a high responsibility is incumbent upon the social partners with regard to the regimentation concerning discrimination on the workplace , these are the able to elaborate convenient solutions .
answering my invitation , jenny had come to attend there as coordinator of the group access charter .
convenient , because instructions and the programs of action incite , on the one hand , the étatses members to fight against the discrimination on the same principle basis and , on the other hand , the commission to play his/her/its role of guard of the treaties but also of guide in the social debate .
although the legal foundation frees some credits for new preparatory actions , their financing within this category could entail a reduction of the credits destined to other policies .
ladies and gentlemen the deputies , we have under the eyes a proposition of guideline centers necessary , but insufficient , of which we will have the possibility to improve the mechanisms once a certain lapse of time of application will have flowed out .
i hope that the commission , in light of this new guideline , will be interested closely in the discrimination founded on the sex .
i congratulate the commission , as well as the authors of the reports .
i am satisfied with the opinion of the mann report aiming to allow the organizations to ideological foundation to put , if the case arises , to the staff of the requirements to the enrollment in relation with this foundation .
the speed with which the institutions made use of the new expertise of amsterdam proves , mrs. commissioner , that the european union always preserves his/her/its pioneer's statute as regards to the equality of the odds , and it is for this reason that i would like to thank for all cur the european commission .
the fact that he/it exists in our society of the various nature discriminations confirms the importance of the program of action in presence , for what is the report of m. cashman .
mr. president , in the name of the bonino list i would like to express the alarm that we feel before the manner of which europe and the countries members treat the theme the discrimination , racism and xenophobia .
is the commissioner able to explain why the commission doesn't take into account this aspect?
the second problem that i would like to land is that the ngo , for important that they are , are invited to take care of the setting in uvre , independently of their size , their nature and actions that they lead .
the liberal and democratic group valued all positively it and notably the activity of the parliament that wanted to insist , also and especially , on the prevention of the phenomenon and not only on the good practices .
it is a challenge for us all , because we judge ourselves the other on one first impression .
mr. president , to fight and to legislate against the discriminations that recognize that they exist and even that they are , for a lot of between them , " legalized " because disguised .
the first , the cnuced , the conference of the nations united for the trade and the development , put in 1963 in geneva the compensatory inequality principle , therefore of the discrimination .
in fact , information and the sensitization don a fundamental importance in this respect , they must be an element triggering and must serve to instill a new mentality , a new fashion to think and to be , so that these prejudices again spilled in a diffuse manner in the population can be completely éradiqués and that a real parity is guaranteed in terms of right between all citizens .
he/it imports to make progress the two legislative initiatives debated today therefore , while improving some of their aspects however and while increasing the amounts planned for the financing of the program , in order to reflect the political importance of this struggle against the discrimination .
in particular , the agreement on the principle of reasonable amenities forecasting , of which sweden and ireland are the pionnières , will make henceforth so that the employers of the set of europe , adapt their workplaces , acquire special facilities and modify their methods of work in order to offer a real luck to the handicapped employees .
the article 13 is the starting point of a new objective of the eu: to fight against the discrimination or the unequal treatment of the citizens through the motives enumerated in this same article .
the second point that i would like to underline concerns the coarse mistake committed unfortunately by the commission with this first " packet " in this sense that she/it wanted to establish a list of priorities to the level of the discrimination motives .
mr. president , the discrimination founded on the religion is unacceptable , all as any other shape of discrimination .
as convinced layman , i would know therefore there myself how to associate .
however , the idea generous to recognize to every citizen the possible liberty maximum , as far as she/it is compatible with the same measure of liberty for the other , meeting again today of the obstacles - the some of fact and the other of right .
one of these instructions has already been adopted in one record time , and i think that the other has good odds to be adopted at the time of the french presidency in november .
some are not compliant to the legal prescriptions , as the amendment concerning the agreements of the commissions .
on the other hand , me then to accept the amendment 38 , that proposes to suppress the article 5 the list of treatment differences on the basis of age , which could be justified .
you evoked the important question of the contractual conformity .
it is the first time that we allow common projects in this program of action .
he/it is clear that more the code will be global , more it will be efficient .
the article 7 of the code commits the étatses members to warn all transfer of weapons toward users inappropriate finaux .
mr. president , i confess to have the nostalgia of the time where emanated , of the european parliament , but also of various pacifist movements and unions , of the incitements to think and to act in the sense of a progressive reduction of the production of weapons , and where one wondered how one could pass the military use to the civil use .
seen the situation in which is today the planet and our continent , after the end of the cold war and the rupture of the balance established by the terror of the massive destruction weapons , such a behavior would be mindless .
these weapons became , so to speak , the symbol of the anarchy in many places in the world .
the pesc covers an activity destined to treat the situations of crisis outside of the borders of the eu , and no whatever it is that can be described like a politics of defense .
their objective is to warn the exports of weapons to governments that rape the human rights , of regions in prey to conflicts or committed regions in shoppings to arming .
the commission , in narrow collaboration with the étatses members , actively participated in the development of the common action of the european union concerning the light weapons and small caliber .
the agenda calls the communication of the commission on the european space of research .
introduction of shapes of longer length intervention; intermediate between the support of projects and the institutional financing , use of the instruments to variable geometry offered by the treaty , more particularly the involvement of the union to national programs as she/it is foreseen to the article 169 of the treaty .
what we want to reinforce , it is this character of hierarchization and it depends on the level of the fashion of intervention .
you tell to consider a total overhaul of the framework program .
i think that we have need today of something that structures the european space of research , that is to say of something that goes beyond the framework program that comes in supplement from national programs; we have need of an element structuring , what means that it is necessary to accept some formulas .
concerning the reflections with the stoa , i believe that it is necessary to make something together , since the assembly , the common center of research , the institutes of forecasting presents in the different états members are concerned .
he/it seems that the commission progresses by leaps and bounds toward the realization of the european space of research .
there will be all a chapter on the sciences , the society and the citizens .
contacts took place with the authorities of greece , ireland and portugal to ask the government of these countries to accelerate the presentation to the commission of their projects to the title of the cohesion fund .
probably the absence of the service that you mention , that existed in the previous commission and that was dedicated exclusively to the fund of cohesion , doesn't permit to have more concrete elements .
my second question is the following: except the fund of cohesion , the communal setting of support exists , the structural funds , the regional programs , etc. what countries do you have receipt you did approve the definitive projects and what programs of what countries already?
in 1989 , the commission introduced a new proposition having to offer more suppleness .
i heard the arguments of m. bolkestein well and i know that the rule of principle of the treaties forbidden to tax the strangers more that the domestic enterprises , but the general law of the faithful competition in europe should apply and , when the levels of taxation are completely disproportionate , we should study the effect that the legislation concerning competition can have on the situation , and this in spite of the general rule according to which it is there about a prerogative of the étatses members .
if you want to preserve fuel , it is necessary to make it via the taxes on fuel , and no via others shapes of taxation .
i will answer m. purvis that the natural regional inconvenience question is probably the national government spring insofar as a part of their electorate is in these peripheral regions and aside .
mr. president , mrs. commissioner , i thank you for this information .
during the spring and the last summer , the commission proceeded to a general reexamination of his/her/its activities and his/her/its human resources .
we had some information in this sense .
these children , in an increasing proportion , are exploited by tourists and the business men , that for an important number among them come of europe .
the commission thinks that all enterprises will be able to get ready in time for the final passage to the euro , including with regard to the adaptation of their computer systems and their software .
this philosophico - political discussion is not anymore on the agenda but we can debate general manner of the dangers of a referendum , although maybe in another context .
it also applies to the impetus .
a recall has been sent lately to the french authorities .
with regard to the countries candidates , i can tell you that some meetings took place with them on the topic of the transportation of the animals and that some exploratory agreements have been concluded .
the commission has been informed however during the season of the seedlings of the spring of this year of the interception of seeds imported of conventional varieties of different species , of it included of cotton , containing of the traces of gm seeds .
however , after consultation of his/her/its services , i am able to inform you that the requirements fundamental of security concerning computer equipment to private or professional use are fixed by a guideline on the electric facilities , the guideline " low tension " , as well as by the guideline concerning the hertzian facilities and the terminal facilities of telecommunications .
will he/it agree nevertheless with me to say that the distinction made between the security to work and the security in class or the security for a child not working at home is not some in fact one?
maybe he/it will shake the hand of president khatami .
aung san suu kyi is today of facto in supervised residence .
i am therefore reticent to go farther as regards to the trade or to counsel other actions concerning the trade or the investments .
n question º 15 of (hs 0769 / 00):
those that told me it made reference for example to some of the electoral meetings to which they had attended .
the questions 16 to 44 will receive written answers .
what we would like , it is a strengthened european report , published and examined by this parliament .
we should concentrate on the passage to the non production of arming and no on the manner of which we are going to assure our competitiveness in relation to the other countries of the world that produce arming .
the five permanent members of the security council , that are supposed to watch over our security , should lend the ear to these propositions and negotiate an arrangement as soon as possible really worthy of the xxie century .
today's debate pose an important pole in the process of reform that the commission prodi started has a few more of one year .
i cannot stop from having the impression that in his/her/its hurry to produce a proposition on time fixed by the white book on the reform , the commission disregarded to approach the details correctly .
i propose therefore that the financial controller and the internal listener produce all two of the yearly reports giving account of their activities .
the report van hulten accentuates more again , and with reason , the distinction pleaded by the commission. he/it represents a good basis of departure for the better practice exchanges between the institutions .
let's hope that it doesn't repeat itself!
if we define a rule for the big institutions , then the principle of independence put forward by the committee of the sages must prevail everywhere .
we very often lived in the past of the situations in which process décisionnels excessively long provoked by the plaintiffs the disappointment and the loss of confidence in the european institutions .
i would like to tell mrs. commissioner that this report is only a transient stage. it means that it is about the first phase of the construction of a bridge between the system of control of which we arrange today and the system that we want to have after the reform .
there is some what consists the proposition that is submitted you .
it is only when they will be able to assume it that the sampling , the procedure of sampling , that will be her as frequently controlled , will be withdrawn .
beyond the words , we are all conscious that the task won't certainly be comfortable .
i evidently think also that we are not qualified , nor as politicians nor as technicians , to be able to harness us only to the resolution of this problem .
fortunately , the big majority of the children and the young grows in an exempt of such ominous factors environment .
i share in all points the opinion expressed by the president of the commission , when he/it insists on the necessity on establishing such a statutory catalog; it is absolutely necessary , according to me , to reinforce the principle of subsidiarity and it is necessary therefore that the eu abstains from wanting to institute some policies by the way in a big number of domains of which the political problems are not transnational .
information from the whole and touching world to all domains of the knowledge become on time accessible since the domicile the briefest. for them , to communicate with the totality of the globe is a plain thing .
stopped very quickly , they declare to the policemen: " it is funny , in the serials , one doesn't make itself take as easily " .
the legislator - me concluded here , mr. president - is not able to all to adjust , but he/it must sometimes recall the rights and duties of each .
i am also very sensitive to the remarks that have been made on the education , on the formation to read the pictures , on the young generation sensitization to have an approach critical of the medias and to not to consume whatever , whenever , anyhow .
if a report as this one doesn't succeed in achieving some progress , to improve the mobility or of the less to begin to knock the gates that hinder the mobility of the world of the education currently down , nothing will have a more negative impact on their opinion .
the problems to solve in the various countries are of various nature: for example , different regimentations concerning social security , stock market of survey , living right , tax system and lack of mutual recognition of the diplomas and practicums .
he/it is time that europe becomes attached all over again to the good execution of programs as socrates and youth for europe .
the experiences concerning mobility of the students and teachers prove that the real problems of this mobility are not so of the side of the direction of the teaching but in the domain of the social , fiscal authorities and immigration .
one mentioned the socrates program to illustrate this problem .
he/it must have a lucid inspection system , a clear control , there even though it makes itself by sampling , and especially , a ticket window , a page web , where the students can put down some complaints .
we require the integration of the group therefore targets some researchers among people categories capable to benefit from the recommendations .
it is easy to make it in a speech , but not so in practice .
the debate is closed .
we appreciate your gait , like the one of president chirac or minister joschka fischer .
the widening imposes the backing; the backing permits and doesn't compromise the widening .
(applause) europe possesses an unique cultural , social , legal and scientific heritage nourished by the variety and the national component zing .
the proposition of resolution on the reports of the commission , on which you are going to be pronounced in a little while , is on the subject rich .
it clearly appears in the report established by the finnish presidency on the women and the hold of decisions. the indicators that she/it elaborated will permit to value the achieved progress .
beyond this conference of the ministers and the symposium on the professional equality , two very important texts , specifically dedicated to the equality , but raising the council " use and social " business deserves to be mentioned .
the second is relative to the principle of non-discrimination , of which the one founded on the sex .
in the setting of the yearly reports , i would like to add - and the chairwoman in exercise also approached this point - that one of the main problems to which are confronted the eu concerns the existence of thick cultural differences evidently .
the reports of which he/it is here question also give this impression .
we must look after what the guideline on the equality is really translated in the legislation .
i believe that this method , applied in the first place by finland , is usable in several domains and , from the moment she/it is part of the strategy of the equality of the odds of the commission , we can wait for some of good results .
in the name of the equality of the odds , the french women conquered , thanks to europe , the right to work the night .
as french citizen , this vision of the world i am especially foreign .
in spite of these remarks , we will vote this report because , of course , we are favorable to the equality of the odds , but the equality of the odds , it is above all the respect of each .
those that remove to the mothers the liberty to raise their children without being remunerated will receive the invoice later , under the shape of juvenile delinquency and vandalism .
to this topic , i recall our report on the splitting of the pension rights in case of divorce , so that the benefits for the survivors and the age of the pension are integrated in the guideline of 1979 .
the polish women were us very thankful to have specified that the representative who was present didn't even relieve the polish woman position .
a presence increased of the women to government's levels and in all domains is essential to reinforce the democracy and to encourage and to maintain the peace .
while finishing , i would like to evoke the situation of the women in the countries that prepare their adherence to the european union .
also the members of the council , and notably the men that there siègent , they have here to assume the essential mission that consists in leading europe in the fight against the maffia that organizes the bill of the women. because this shape of esclavagisme is not of the kind of problems that can make responsible political actors shrug the shoulders , nor that they can drive back or can disregard .
we can deduct the reports and interventions that we analyze today that the problem of the equality of the odds is , as a lot of between knew it to us , a structural order problem and that , to approach it , the global strategies are necessary , because the women are neither a category nor a homogeneous social group , and even less collective .
it is true that i was a little sorry to see that maria of belém roseira didn't occupy this station anymore .
two among you evoked new social rights , of new fiscal rights .
third , they constitute the basis of a strategy with regard to the european union - even for the fundamental right charter , the fact to have had a view of the present situation played an important role - but they also offer the possibility of it to the national level , since the étatses members can henceforth , thanks to the comparative assessment , to define their national objectives .
the common discussion is closed .
it is necessary to see these amendments in the new context of the agreement interinstitutionnel and , therefore , the parliament can compromise in not insisting on these amendments of comitologie since that , in a certain manner , they have been passed by the new setting interinstitutionnel .
nevertheless , i continue personally to think that the text approved at the time by the parliament answered the new realities that ensued of the home market and the liberalization of the markets well better , insofar as the elements of clarification and control that the non accepted amendments introduced guaranteed the respect of the regimentation and the application of the same procedures more .
if we want that the countries third accept the compromises , must the european community be the first to apply to look after the respect of his/her/its own norms , because if a country on the occasion of to introduce some products on the communal market by the bootlegging , would reason take it works hard it to negotiate an any type of concession with us?
in the same way , the amendment of the parliament concerning the declaration of the illegal , that has been adopted by the council , will allow the customs administrations of the étatses members to equip itself/themselves with the instruments of management automated the most modern .
but he/it is too late now because the vote has just had place and the deputies voted in his/her/its favor .
votes (continuation)
report (a5-0198 / 2000) of mrs. dybkjær , in the name of the commission of the rights of the woman and the equality of the odds , on the yearly reports of the commission on " the equality of the odds for the women and the men in the european union - 1997 , 1998 , 1999 " (com (1998) 302 - c5-0106 / 1999) (com (1999) 106 - c5-0289 / 2000) (com (2000) 123 - c5-0290 / 2000 - 1999 / 2109 (co))
. it is not the first time that i express myself on the mobility of the students and the body teaching .
this report is especially important than it intervenes at one critical moment for the european union , the one of the widening .
the discrimination doesn't fight itself by the creation of supplementary administrative services , but solely in the head of people .
. i didn't vote the mann report , because if it is effectively necessary to search for the equality of treatment of people concerning use and work , again it would be necessary to not to push the goodwill to the point to abandon all protection of the liberties and all respect of the right état .
being a convinced layman , i was not able to myself there to associate .
the snp is pleased of this guideline and his/her/its objective to put an end to all discrimination on the workplace .
if we want to return the acceptable and executable guideline , this one cannot be overloaded literature and of desires that don't have their place in a legislative text .
the eplp gives out strong reserves however for the following domains .
some elements would also have to , to our sense , to be let to the discretion of the étatses members , as the general terms of application , the organization of the formations for the workers of some groups of age , the nature of the mediation system , and the way whose pmes must interpret the guideline .
in this interview , van hulten makes notice very exactly that only the resolution of problems as the fraud , wasting , but also the lack of efficiency in the process décisionnel , will permit us to start with a positive diary .
the reasons of the orientation of my vote one milks , in a large measure , to the question of the closeness between the european union and the nato as well as to the impulse given to the common defense politics .
one evokes the european weapon exports there also like a means to solve the future local conflicts in the neighboring geographical zones of europe .
on the other hand , i would know how to accept only one formulates the necessity of a politics of common defense and an european politics of security and defense .
the children are the first victims of the violence to the television .
i am pleased of the realization of this survey .
a group of experts will also be constituted to the communal level. he/it will have for mission the creation of a memorandum establishing general principles for the protection of the miners in the context of the medias .
dybkjaer report (a5-0198 / 2000)
he/it is especially interesting that , for the first time , is raised the necessity to pursue the assessment of the efficiency of the political initiatives by means of the yearly reports of the commission .
peru
mr. president , peru lives moments of uncertainty currently and we feed all hope that the present situation is solved by the slant of a process , guaranteeing all civil laws and political and contributory to the backing of the democracy and the peace in peru , where 25 000 people died during the last fifteen years .
the word in question is the word " democracy " .
mr. president , ladies and gentlemen , the conditions in which took place the elections in peru in may of this year were unacceptable .
b5-0793 / 2000 , of mrs. ainardi and other , in the name of the group of the european unit left / nordic green left , on the situation of the women in afghanistan .
i am delighted therefore with to note that the report contains some clear and precise points on the situation of the women and that it attracts the attention on the necessity to try to intervene in order to prevent that the regime of the taliban doesn't continue its uvre of total discrimination of the women .
the ue has an important mission .
he/it can have there notably recognition on behalf of no état member , so much that the politics of violation of the human rights will be maintained , of systematic discrimination with regard to the women .
we must take account of this reality , within the european institutions , and because the cultures of drug are used to buy some weapons .
she/it will sustain resolute manner the neighboring countries however , so that they improve their possibilities of struggle against the drug .
i think that the moment came to recall the necessity that the european union begins to draw a global politics opposite the countries of latin america that could avoid maybe that these countries cross situations of crisis periodically as those that some knew .
mr. president , ladies and gentlemen , the commission and the assembly greet the father's liberation last week jesuit spanish alejandro matos castro .
b5-0782 / 2000 , of m. haarder , in the name of the group of the european party of the liberals , democrats and reformers , on macedonia ,: relative legislation to the higher education and to the universities;
it is the reason for which we are very happy that the problem of the higher education found a really positive solution maybe finally .
for my part , i see a good example , for all neighboring countries , demonstrating there especially that the teaching doesn't serve that to propagate the hate - as it is the most often the case - but that it can be also the cradle of a cohabitation pacific multiethnique .
i would also have wished that this solution is approved by all parties represented at the parliament .
i can take advantage maybe of the opportunity to underline that the commission could already be pleased of his/her/its collaboration with the high representative , mr. sieve stoel der .
we don't lead this debate solely today to express our deep grief. we especially lead it to examine what happened , what are the reasons of it and how we are going to remedy the situation , how we can , as commission and european parliament , to make so that such events don't repeat themselves .
in any case , mr. president , we agree with this common resolution proposition that we sustain as she/it is drawn , to the title of the emergency , and on the basis , he/it goes from oneself , of what i evoked previously. we are in disagreement with the amendments that were also set down to the title of the emergency .
for the amendment on the conditions of work , there is a pertaining guideline , the formulation of the amendment is not as satisfactory as the text .
it is simply unacceptable for the islands of the north and the west of scotland , as for the potential itinerary of crossing of the north sea toward the european continent that will be , i hope for it , inaugurated in a near future .
i am happy that the greek government annulled this exemption in the meantime .
it is why , following the wreck of the ship express samina , the commission immediately asked the greek government to provide some enlightenments on the application of the communal right in force .
i would wish to raise the question to know , and i ask you to solve this with the office , if , after the suppression of friday , the suppression of thursday didn't already begin a certain side .
this problem is not solved and so much that it it won't be , the international financial institutions - the imf and the world bank - won't be able to help the democratic serbia. therefore , it is necessary to work also to the level of the nations united with the countries of the ex - yugoslavia to find an agreement that can unblock as quickly as possible , when the moment of the liberty will have come in serbia , the economic helps - by the slant of the imf and the world bank .
in these instants is going to be played maybe in the streets of belgrade the advent of a democratic change where the recourse to the violence will be able to be avoided .
we condemn all acts capable to be considered like a provocation , in particular with regard to the holy places in jerusalem .
in relation to middle east , we , the europeans , agreed an effort - venice , madrid , oslo , stockholm - and we sustained the promotion and the development of this process truly .
the most shocking fact concerns the use of fragmentation bullets by the police and the army israeli; these bullets , that explode in the body in score of pieces and that are forbidden on an international scale , even in the fights opposing some soldiers , are now used against civilians .
i believe that europe can and must make a lot in this sense , with clarity and decision .
it is necessary to all to make to stop the fire in progress as quickly as possible therefore .
provocations as the action of sharon ariel must not occur .
it is all over again the case today , and it is what will prevent and prevented europe , during all these years , to play a role of mediation in middle east , abandoning this role in the only united states .
we won't sacrifice the serbian people to our nobles moral objectives because it could mean the death of thousands of people in serbia and in yugoslavia .
to conclude , mrs. chairwoman , i propose to send a parliamentary delegation as quickly as possible and as soon as a new yugoslavian government has been formed , in order to establish the plans of reconstruction of a new serbia in collaboration with this new government .
mrs. chairwoman , ladies and gentlemen , we live a historic day obviously within this parliament , that will mark the end of one of the last pillars of a totalitarian dictatorship maybe in europe .
mr. president , there is a problem , the german version of the compilation concerning the emergencies - i don't know if it is also the case for the other versions - contains the propositions of amendment of the group ford solely , but no proposition of resolution , nor even the common text .
mr. president , i would wish to attract the attention of my colleagues merely on the battery that shows what documents us had need for the votes of this week .
if the parliament could propose some amendments to the decision of the council , it would probably underline unemployment and the social problems in croatia that are due to the regime of austerity imposed to this country. yet , legal basis doesn't exist for such amendments in this context .
it is there the opportunity to claim the same objectives with regard to the activity of the eib .
mr. president , we landed last night , to the very breast of this assembly , the question of serbia and the revolutionary changes that produces themselves of it .
i wish to convince my colleagues also , and especially the council , to remain , at the time of the negotiations of the next months on the budget for next year and the years following , most faithful possible to the proposition of the commission , that , according to me , constitute on this day the best global cost evaluation in croatia and in other parts of balkan .
in 1990 , the democratic elections organized in this country were judged equitable and free by the international opinion .
i say therefore yes to the financial help , yes to this guarantee and i invite the commission energetically to help this deeply european country massively and governed henceforth truly democratically and according to the principles of the right état , to associate it to the candidates to the adherence , because i believe that croatia deserved our unconditional support .
all as the reporter , i wonder if money destined at this end will be really available , especially as it seems that enormous funds must be provided shortly to serbia and that the budget of the union is not reviewed to the rise .
the delegations of the croatian parliament and ours have they also invited the council to spread the mandate of the eib .
i hope that contacts will become knotted quickly and that , as for croatia , a help will be bestowed to the serbian people , that deserves our biggest respect .
(the minute is approved)
in this same mind , we invite the women of the european parliament to participate in this delegation: there will be a call tuesday and wednesday and us will harvest the signatures and the involvement to the delegation , in the express intention to construct , between women , of the bridges of peace where reign the violence .
on the whole , there were sufferings more for the basques and for the spaniards; it is certain that the spaniards and the basques are tired of the present conflict .
mrs. chairwoman , you probably remember that , at the time of the last session , i had evoked the situation critical of a democratic militant , the british james mawdsley , that was detained illegally by the burmese authorities .
mrs. chairwoman , in what concerns me , i would like to speak makes some the regulation .
actually , this technical appearance report , that doesn't seem to bring big political order modification , is extremely important insofar as , surreptitiously , he/it introduces the possibility to practice the genetic engineering in viticulture and therefore to succeed to a genetically modified viticulture .
if we don't approve the report , there will be some delays .
the council of state - as you told it - rejected this recourse and informed us duly of this dismissal .
but today the situation repeats itself and concern a colleague , certainly of the ppe , but no of my political camp in italy .
it is why we plead actively for the introduction of a social control panel , was like that the case for the home market , with lucid measures , the deadlines and delays .
i hope , mrs. minister , that the council will be inspired by the waitings of the parliament and that you will succeed , at the time of the summit of nice , to fix ambitious objectives in an european social diary to which us will be able to tackle then during the next years .
following the council casual " use and social " politics of last july 8 in paris , the presidency had asked the set of for the concerned actors - european parliament , of course , economic and social committee , committee of the regions , social partners , ngo , groups and committees of the council - to announce him their propositions .
to oppose the quantitative to the qualitative is a false debate and lisboa clearly fixed an objective duplicate: more of jobs and the jobs of better quality .
it is necessary to encourage this mobility , while assuring the professional trajectory security .
we must try to sum up and to describe the hiatuses of the system and , in any case , we must put them in the diary .
we estimate that the open coordination constitutes the good way to follow toward a social europe .
the setting in uvre of the ambitions sociétales displayed in lisboa calls a communal effort , a plan of action for the creation of jobs in the services , notably those bound to the society of information .
the commission can provide an important contribution naturally , but the social problems are anchored on a local scale , and one must treat them while greatly taking into account the different concrete contexts .
the social acted like proofreader of the most ominous effects of the economic policies .
the proposition presented to the origin by the commission would have been much better without amendment - congratulations , mrs. commissioner .
it is an ambitious diary. i remember again how much we advanced laboriously concerning social protection during the previous legislature .
i think that it will be very positive and will help the women to reconcile domestic and professional life .
i sometimes have the impression , that , under the concept of modernization , one often thinks about to empty the social protection of his/her/its substance .
what are the elements fundamental of the content?
it is even difficult to define the european objectives that will be equally in force for all étatses members , since a various reality exists .
49 amendments have been presented to the commission .
it is therefore important that we provided guarantees concerning the possibility that the non governmental organizations will have to influence on the process .
another point is that the community must intervene more in the evaluation of the supplementary initiative needs , including , if the case arises , the adaptation of the regimentation , the equality of the odds and the struggle against the discriminations .
it is not that the good ideas and the good plans to arrive to the equality missed in the past , but their setting in uvre often failed .
it is not normal that the voice of the women is monopolized by a handful of professional of the demand living thanks to the public denier drip .
the equality of the men and women in the civil life , that permits to the women to enjoy the human rights and the fundamental liberties fully .
i wait that the masculine actors finally interest themselves of it and that they fight the stereotypes and the out of date sex roles .
i believe while we must thank it for having followed this debate , since his/her/its presence was not foreseen during this discussion .
politics of competition
we must offer to our enterprises the best possible conditions so that they can organize their production and especially their future .
they must have a large choice of products high-quality sold to competitive prices: it is , finally , the reason for which it is necessary to promote the unique market and , in the same way , the free competition , because it benefits to all our citizens .
it is about the decision to bestow or not to bestow helps in the sector of coal .
the point 16 of the riis-jørgensen report evokes the worry to improve the legal security at the time of the demands of fusions , and to make more efficient and faster the calendars applicable to the procedures of call .
in any case , it is about public corporations that owe their strength no to an impeccable management of the business , but to the past and present positions of monopoly .
he/it is necessary to us to imply the citizens more in information on the politics of competition , so that he/it recognizes the advantages of it .
they have a considerable significance for the use and the regional politics and i wish that one understands it well in the future , so that these helps , the interior helps , that have some implications for the regional development and the economy of the regions , and where the transportation take value of example marks , can be pursued .
this communication contains three important messages .
i thank m. evans as briskly for his/her/its excellent report on the regimentation concerning helps for état to the steel-making industry and on the eighth report of the commission on the helps of état in the european union .
i would like to reassure mrs. palacio and mr. karas therefore , as well as the other deputies who intervened on these points , and to tell them that the regulation takes extensively into account their preoccupations .
otherwise , we would serve our objective , to know how to encourage the competition and the consumers , in a perverse manner .
the common discussion is closed .
the mechanism of financing is the application of the article 119 of the ec treaty , that only remains in force during the third phase of the economic and monetary union for the étatses members that don't participate in the unique currency .
mr. president , mr. commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i am pleased that we can discuss again today of the proposition of guideline of the council modifying the guideline 68 / 193 / eec concerning the merchandising of the materials of vegetative multiplication of the grapevine , and i hope that tomorrow's vote will be positive .
some among them threw , july 5 , the call of beaune , where they express all their concern facing the introduction of ogm in their profession .
the rules that they foresee are otherwise favorable to the production of a plant material varied while offering the best sanitary guarantees , what is fundamental , to come with the restructuring of the communal vineyard , key point of the new ocm vini-viticole , efficiently .
it is necessary to say it high and strong , it was not not at all necessary to cram the articles of this guideline of references to the guideline 90 / 220 under revision , except to want to promote to all strength in the grapevine the genetic manipulations .
i have the pleasure to inform you that we can accept besides the amendments 35 to 40 , presented by m. graefe baringdorf zu , that has the tendency to reinforce the transposition of the requirements of security and management registered persons in the guideline 220 / 90 .
i would wish to make observe merely that the parliament has not been called to be pronounced as such .
mrs. chairwoman , it is about the point 14 of our minute on the demand of levee of the parliamentary immunity of our college pacheco pereira .
i will be more precise on the qualified majority .
on the level-headedness of the voices , the two very known options also remain on the table: simple level-headedness for which a light , very light , majority is confirmed , or double majority , but with different formulas , double simple majority or repondérée or a demographic " net shape .
otherwise , without prejudice of an assessment of the needs and the coordination of the economic and financial aid in the yugoslavian federal republic , that will be confided jointly to the european commission and to the world bank , the european council of biarritz decided to grant to the yugoslavian federal republic a first humanitarian help of emergency of 200 millions of euros .
but see you , ladies and gentlemen , if i had to tell you spontaneously and very sincerely my feeling , i would say this: whatever is the sensitivity of these questions - composition of the commission and system of vote - it is not on this basis that one will be able to measure the failure or the success of nice .
positive was also the approval by the chiefs of état and government of the charter of the fundamental rights , but it is necessary for me to recall however , mr. the president of the council , the reason that returned this possible approval .
as we must not make die of boredom the mind of nice , our fundamental priority during the 50 days that remain will be to raise the negotiations to the political level .
in this sense , i would like to address also to my colleges of the european popular party - and i ask m. poettering to listen to me - because what we defend in this assembly , we must defend it outside .
from what we know results gotten by the prime ministers and presidents in biarritz on the questions highly delicate of reform of the treaty , the charter will probably be the most beautiful success of nice .
the council would meet the waitings indeed european citizens while throwing a big consultation of the populations , of the national parliaments , permitting to succeed to a charter answering the needs indeed .
it is necessary to throw an invitation therefore to all to return to the origins of our union , to have the courage that mr. giscard d'estaing and mr. schmitt had while deciding the election to the universal suffrage of the european parliament in 1976 and in 1979 and to decide that in 2009 we will finally have a president of the european union , president of the commission .
i would like notably , in this respect , to answer what mr. poettering said on the cleavage between the big and the small countries .
i come back merely of a word on the business of outside commercial politics , because it is quite a topic serious .
it is nevertheless something precious that has been underlined by all members of the european council .
another very positive point was the adoption of the charter in his/her/its totality .
beyond , he/it seems me that on this crucial question for the future of the european union and his/her/its fashion of decision , biarritz marked some points and we can only congratulate ourselves of it .
i hope that we will be able to convince again , to progress , to prevail over this point in nice .
i mention two concrete examples: on the one hand , one passes the right to work to the right to work and , on the other hand , a certain number of social rights understood in the social charter reviewed of the council of europe are not in the charter .
he/it is clearly evident from the proceedings that take place everywhere in europe , including those of biarritz , that the étatses biggest members look for , in part , to make pressure on the étatses smallest members in order to reform the european union in accordance with the political line followed by the biggest étatses and also according to their desires .
the unhappy of the two sides are the proof for the negotiators that they move toward a just balance .
the leaders of europe didn't formulate a lucid vision .
a commission structured on criterias of representation of every état betrays a conception little visionary .
one would have a centralized union then , that would let to the small countries less influence than the system of the american bicameralism let some to the federal étatses of small size .
after the summit of sharm - el-sheikh , where all concerned parts were united to find in spite of all one descended to the crisis of violence and to re-establish the dialogue between barak and arafat , we could note , although there was this instant where it seemed to be able to succeed , that it is extremely difficult to contain the violence .
of bad informants , obviously , make m. barón tell of the things that are not true about italy and my party .
it is necessary that we accomplished some progress concerning taxation of the energy in europe. this last underwent a total blockage until now because of the principle of the unanimity .
we can only permit gets settled a situation in which the small étatses would come to fear a drift toward solutions of directorate .
i estimate that the convention provided excellent work and i am proud of can have counted among his/her/its members .
in this second case of face , the question will be to know at what moment will operate this principle of the strictly egalitarian rotation between big and small .
the extension to true topics of the vote to the majority qualified with the joint decision , the preservation of the article 250 as he/it is today , the place and the role of the commission in the reinforced cooperations and not only on the first pillar: there are some of the elements that will permit us to judge instantaneously if there is , at the end of the account , failure or success .
mr. president , thank you to jacques , first , in jacques delors , thank you in altiero spinelli and to fernand herman , thank you to all , of vaclav havel in carlo ciampi , of joschka fischer to jacques chirac , of michel barnier in pierre moscovici , of chris patten in costa simitis , while passing by florence , and by the present european deputy multitude that took , since 1999 , the big movement for an european constitution .
let's not criticize europe too much bargains , and it is a socialist who tells it to you: she/it gave us more of wealths for all .
let's grant ourselves at least on this objective , and since we make it , let's say how there to arrive .
mr. president , i had the satisfaction to note that in substance , the propositions presented to the intergovernmental conference lately go in the same sense that the whole or a part of the criterias that i exposed .
mr. president , mr. commissioner , gentlemen the reporters , ladies and gentlemen the deputies , you wished that we have , this morning , a debate on the questions by the way of which your assembly estimated necessary to complete the relative opinion in the intergovernmental conference that it had returned in last april .
thus , while respecting the constitutional setting existing , he/it seems difficult to me - i tell it to you - to foresee more that a procedure of consultative opinion of the parliament at the time of the starting point .
you know it well , it supposes that we make some political choices , of an a lot bigger range than the regulation of the three stated requirements higher .
i have myself underlined that the formula kept for the charter was a way to explore .
but i understood well that beyond the linguistic aspect , your question hid another preoccupation .
here is as reason i wanted to thank you , and on the bottom and on the shape , of the initiative that you took .
the reinforced cooperation setting up should not drive to the creation of new organs that would come to be added at the institutions of the union .
he/it is time to review the treaties .
the refusal of the european council to integrate the charter of the rights fundamental of the union in the founding treaties , to make thus juridically these rights coercive and to allow this manner the citizens whose rights would not have been respected to reach the european judicial court , door reached to this fundamental consensus .
without it , one won't get this europe of the citizens and citizens , according to me .
paragraph 8: the constitution will treat - i mention - " of the questions let open " .
no one was able again to explain me what would have changed since then .
secondly , in relation to an insufficient diary , that let particularly important question side for the future of the union and the interest of the citizenship .
mr. minister , one tells that on the eve of the bolshevik revolution - an event that had to have disastrous consequences everywhere in the world - the russian orthodox church was dived in a complex debate on the style of the ceremony dresses to carry during the lent .
it is therefore imperative that cooperations offer all guarantees that the reporter recommended , that they are open to all , in the respect of the mind of the treaties , and that they don't go in opposition to the communal acquirement .
there is a point however that i would wish to accentuate: he/it doesn't seem correct to me to require or to privilege the way of the obligatory referendum in all countries members for the approval of the amendments proposed .
we had a debate very fed on two questions that , although different , meet in a point .
we are ready to make so that she/it can be put to the vote during the session of november , so that the text can be adopted under the french presidency .
(the parliament adopts the resolution)
what does the introduction of the possibility mean " to retire progressively part-time " via work , if that is a threat yet well already on the age of the retirement too elevated in number of country?
everybody knows that the pensioners , as the children , like jams .
i asked the pensioners who elected me here , to the european parliament , with the party of the pensioners if he/it would please them to drink the genetically modified wine .
or , by derogation , to put on the market of the multiplication standard materials , when the needs cannot be covered by other categories .
i ask you therefore , mr. president: don't the variations of the work cost constitute , for this reason , them also a limitation to the free competition in the european union?
he/it was therefore unavoidable that we voted against this report. .
in spite of the measures taken in favor of a bigger deregulation within the european union , the helps of état always have a constructive role to play in the social and economic development .
these helps can prove to be indispensable for the protection of the environment , the public service maintenance and the guarantee of an equal income level to the economically underprivileged region inhabitants .
we underline the risk , after the consecration of the control of the eu on the important état helps , to see this one targeting the helps of a weak amount while invoking the competition made to the pmes .
vi section , economic and social committee ,
if one consults the billbooks of execution of the budget for the categories 2 , 3 , 4 and 7 , one notes that only an average of 8% of the set of the engagements are covered by payments .
three years ago , we tackled of it via our initiative for the use while helping the small and middle enterprises to get the capital to risks .
the parliament wants to make it two manners .
it is then only that the european institutions answer their mission .
i take advantage of the opportunity to thank the vice-president responsible for the budgetary questions , our colleague gerhard schmid , for his/her/its constructive collaboration , expressly .
we want that this committee is able to work but we can only tolerate it is the place where the requirements of the european parliament , as branch of the budgetary authority , meet the less echo .
it means that the exercise 2001 is the last fully-fledged budgetary exercise and it is in this context that it is necessary to value the proposition of the commission and the one that we submit to the parliament .
we want besides that one examines the administrative expenses .
since 1985 - i say 85 well - , the commission of the budgets of the parliament endeavors to get that the procedures of the european parliament take in consideration the financial impact of the determination that the parliament votes .
i finish , mr. president , while thanking the other institutions for their diligence in the treatment of this conjoined declaration .
you are called today to pronounce you on a budget that has already been amended in first reading by the council .
concerning the structural actions: the amount of the structural actions has been taken back globally in relation to the budget 2000 .
the attitude of the council with regard to the financial perspective revision is serene .
when one examines these different numbers , one notes that subsist more considerable differences on the merely quantitative plan but also , naturally , as regards to the bottom .
in this respect , i must signal that , last year , a new decision has been taken with the council to the term of a long debate and i have little hope to be able to take this debate .
the financial scheduling decided in berlin for the period running until 2006 planned 8 ,1 billions of euros for the meda program .
i would like to ask the council therefore as well as to the commission of the budgets to think in terms of foreign politics and not only in terms of budgetary politics , when they take care of foreign politics .
the second concerns help to bring to the victims of the violations of the human rights who need treatments in specialized institutions .
if a solution of compromise capable to push the important work of the emac committee came to clear itself/themselves during the time that remains us , we could adjust this question again; otherwise , the position of our commission remains open .
he/it is sufficient us to remind it to us day after day to light our television sets and to note that middle east crosses a difficult period .
it is why i hope that we will arrive in spite of all , at the time of the vote of tomorrow , to the necessary majority for the observatory of dublin .
mr. president , in the name of the commission of agriculture and the farming development , i would like to make some remarks and notably to begin , about the farming development .
we asked for the approval of a credit indicative of two millions of euros for a campaign of information on the pcp .
the european commission must negotiate with arguments of weight to come to a reasonable agreement with morocco and the council and the governments concerned must bring as for them a political support to this negotiation .
we consider today the budget 2001 , while having in head the pictures of the serbian population .
on the whole , we would like that these amendments are approved .
however , an important way by which the citizens can insure that their preoccupations are taken in account is either the call to the mediator , either the consignment of a petition to the parliament .
i will start with speaking of the budget of this assembly .
to the surprise many members of my delegation , we have , beginning september , established a strategic platform unanimously. thus , the 400 amendments introduced by some of my colleagues constituted a surprise for number among us to the commission of the budgets .
it is indeed difficult to imagine how new stations could solve the problem of management if , to the commission as to the council , these are more complex procedures of another age that are used to put in uvre many programs .
these last years , this parliament showed regularly that it based his/its works on a real parsimony .
he/it is unacceptable to speak , during years , of manner very wave about engagements and to reaffirm them regularly if it is to say , when it is about making his/her/its accounts , that this in is too much for us and that it is necessary to trim now on our promises .
if we only place some poor wretches millions on these lines - and we hardly can more - , we will agitate a carrot that we should withdraw when these people will really have need of it .
as the budget of last year , the budget 2001 was confronted to almost insoluble problems: on the one hand , the pressure in favor of the funding and the required politics , as agreed in the agreement interinstitutionnel , in order to assure the financing of the widening; on the other hand , the crying need of financing of the stability pact for balkan .
to require better performances implies staff as more .
the adoption of this amendment , in his/her/its initial version , could have begun to change the deal , but a majority of the commission of the budgets rejected this idea .
and there , alas , the examples are numerous: of the privileged treatment granted to the associations to federalist vocation or to the numerous ngo to the function , to philosophy and to the working of the most questionable , to the financing of the european political parties , while passing by the is swallowed in the program prince , to tempt to persuade the citizens of the étatses members of the merit of the euro as the european currency knows a loss of confidence extensively shared by the europeans , of our danish friends until the leaders of the european central bank .
to finish , our colleague heaton-harris underlined understandably , in the amendments that he proposed , the character one-sided many european programs to the means of which one serves a whole propaganda to the citizen about the european integration , and it to his/her/its own expenses , note it well .
besides , our administrative systems must be modernized. we must also give the good example .
the meda program , dedicated to the mediterranean basin , geographical zone of the highest strategic importance , constitutes a good example of the lack of execution capacity .
when one speaks about making some reductions or to take money to the category 4 to give resources to some priorities , it is not necessary to forget what are the priorities of the assembly. we made to this fact appear clearly at the time of the vote in commission .
this amount must be the object of a clarification therefore .
thank you very much , mr. wynn .
it means merely that true elements of suppleness exist to advance on such or such politics , even when someone is not able to it , or doesn't wish it , and what is worth for the countries of the union is also worth for the countries candidates .
i think that austria doesn't have to complain about what occurred , well on the contrary .
the regional organization recommendations as well as the neighboring country experiences will probably contribute to the definition of these means .
in 1984 , 0 ,2% of the colombian owners possessed 32% of the earth .
the council is not there to comment such or such aspect of this question that is extremely delicate and painful .
at the same time , one is not able to either to hire a debate like that on questions that are , once again , extremely complex .
n question º 10 of (hs 0722 / 00):
therefore , i will avoid well to give a definitive answer to this difficult question .
merely , we have the feeling , and your answer testifies a few of them , that the presidency of the council is not a lot of volontariste in the treatment of this question .
therefore , the income of this tax won't be evidently hopeless .
me also me they excuse some , but we are going to apply the regulation .
if the right side of the room remained silent , it is therefore that we already treated earlier these questions and to our opinion it is useless to come back several times on the same themes in this room whereas our time is precious .
otherwise , in the waiting of the adoption of this guideline on the prevention of the encephalopathies transferable spongiformes , a decision of withdrawal of the materials presenting some risks to the look of these illnesses has been taken in june 2000 , in order to stop all new progression of the epidemic and to assure to the consumer the possible most elevated sanitary protective level .
i don't have any other elements that those that i could communicate you in a little while .
we follow and we know the work of the commission and the council well on the packet erika 1. but , about this passage , that is known of the two countries and known within the european union , that is a particularly difficult passage , borrowed by thick boats to win some hours only , with the risk that comes to be stranded and to provoke a disaster from old rafiots , i would have liked to know , and especially the inhabitants of corsica , of sardinia would have liked to know , if he/it will be possible and if you consider forbidding the passage of the mouths of bonifacio merely by these thick boats , these thick containers .
it is for this reason that i think that we must , in principle , to sustain the propositions of the commission for the revision of the politics concerning staff .
it is necessary to inject cool money in the budget for serbia and the kosovo .
i hope , mr. president , and i finish some by there , that one goes nevertheless to amputate the lines of the budget of 50 millions of euros to finance the agreement of israel peace / plo .
it is the reason for which we will propose , to the european parliament , of new measures that will serve less to look for a new financing - we know that the present conjuncture doesn't permit it - that to seal new compromise interinstitutionnels that will improve the quality of the expenses and will stay up to that that no euro is wasted .
wonder that in european politics , as in all other domain , the moderate options sometimes stop being majority .
he/it is conceived to darken rather than to illuminate , and i have been disappointed by the attitude adopted today with regard to budgeting by activity .
the fact to ventilate the expenses according to the activities permits to consider the budget as political instrument in which the ventilation of the expenses reflects precise political priorities .
we must find a multi-year solution in order to not to must , year after year , rediscuter every time the manner of which we could find money in favor of the reconstruction of balkan .
those that are interested in the development of a lasting agricultural sector don't ignore that the central dynamics of the recent reform , as she/it has been invited in berlin , constantly move " of help to the raw materials to the direct support of the incomes of the agriculturists .
a budget , dear colleagues , is always well more that a simple dance of numbers .
finally , he/it is immoral , mr. president , to reduce the expenses for the agricultural politics , for the meda program , for exclude them social , in order to clear resources destined to finance the engagements of the european union in the kosovo and in yugoslavia .
in clear , he/it agrees to avoid that the serbian population doesn't suffer from the cold weather and the hunger during this winter .
otherwise , i would like to show my concern to see the different parliaments of the young integrated in the socrates program .
of course , he/it also agrees to tell clearly to the council that he/it carries a part of responsibility in the insufficient development of some programs outsides .
we now need a steady solution concerning these helps , especially when it is about their long-term scheduling for the western balkan .
i think that most people would be ready to accept such a cost , provided that this money is used to good knowledge .
i share the preoccupations and arguments that the reporter , mrs. rühle , evoked tonight concerning research and social helps .
two weeks ago , held the assembly parliamentary equal acp .
in a same time , we want that some budgetary means are invested in the fund for research and information , in order to search for alternatives of production for the present producers of tobacco .
i want to specify clearly that the european union had the influence the more direct and most positive than one can imagine on ireland the north .
in this model , the respect of the norms and procedures is assured by an independent authority and , in last process , by the judges .
we will have thus , for the first time , a joint decision in first reading on an extremely complex text and sprinkled of technical difficulties , relative to a particularly sensitive sector for the individual liberty protection .
he/it is quite positive that one didn't unite in an unique authority their respective tasks .
one knows for example that the schengen system stored more of ten millions of cards concerning close to a million and half of citizens , that europol constantly sees his/her/its expertise widened , centralize the information coming from different services of police of the fifteen étatses members , and that , under the only control of an authority of which nor expertise nor the means are not placed at his/her/its disposal to allow him to accomplish another task truly .
it says , i take advantage of the commissioner's presence to say that he/it would seem appropriate to me to worry not only of the citizen's protection in relation to the new technologies , but also of the use of these technologies to promote the capacity of the european citizen to intervene and to interagir with regard to the european institutions .
the amendments numbered 1 , 2 , 4 to 10 , 12 to 40 , 42 to 54 , 57 , 58 and 60 to 64 take the text of the council for the points where the commission can mark its agreement .
he/it goes from oneself , from then on , that his/her/its opinion on the legislative propositions that concern the personal data protection will be very precious insofar as it will constitute an important contribution to the legislative debate between the institutions .
the treaty recognizes indeed to the regions ultrapériphériques a difficult economic and social situation , aggravated by particular handicaps of which the permanence and the conjugation carry seriously prejudice to the development of these regions .
she/it will contribute to the promotion of the economic and social progress thus thanks to an elevated use level .
i congratulate mrs. sudre therefore and we wait with impatience for the modes of application of the propositions of the commission so that he/it is taken account shortly of the specificities , in accordance with the article 299 , paragraph 2 of the treaty of amsterdam .
for a lot of europeans , some regions ultrapériphériques is only tourist destinations on the card .
our rates of unemployment are among the most elevated of the union .
i am delighted that the commission adopted to a large majority the amendments that i had presented .
he/it is very important , in my opinion , that the regions ultrapériphériques is integrated in the networks transeuropéens of the transportation , the energy and telecommunications .
the adoption , to the unanimity of the members of the commission of the regional politics , of the report presented by our colleague margie sudre is a testimony of the fidelity of the european parliament towards one his/her/its most important engagements .
we cannot debate a set of circumstances and can believe that since the ideal and idyllic point - call it so - will have been reached , it won't be more necessary to adopt other measures in the treatment of these three zones and , more particularly , of the regions ultrapériphériques of which he/it is question here .
this article , ladies and gentlemen , don't certainly permit us all to make , but he/it permits us to reinforce and , i think that it is necessary , to widen and to improve our action .
for the preparation of the propositions that is necessary , the commission evidently collaborates with the étatses members and the regions concerned .
in these regions , we know it , there are some difficulties for a long time and i believe therefore , objectively , according to their real level of development , that they will have need for a long time of the support of the regional politics and particular measures .
a meeting of this kind could be organized all over again during the year 2001 , when we will be advanced more in the realization of the program presented in march .
the presidency declared that it was closed and i perfectly accept it .
i believe that the parliament does well to hold itself/themselves of it to the present rules because , as another colleague told it , very often , in fact , these are not the machines that didn't function , but the deputies who forgot to vote , and if one could correct a vote thereafter , we would never finish some .
i am obviously what i eat .
finally , mr. commissioner , in addition to the authority , it is necessary that the competent services of the commission , in collaboration and in coordination with the étatses members , establish a homogeneous and efficient control system in the whole food chain and that the network of food laboratories of the european union is reinforced and work in coordination with the commission .
he/it agrees to avoid all duplicate use as regards to the activities and the scientific research , what implies a collaboration with the national and communal centers of research .
today , we discuss on one white book and we have interest to define a few big principles .
now , these procedures have been amended and have been modified and we have our own national agency of food security , the food standard agency .
finally , we will also sustain several new amendments , more precisely the amendments 11-13 , 7-9 and we wish to have a vote in conscience on the amendment 14 .
in this context , i would like to say of straightaway that the food security depends entirely on the organization by the rigorous control authorities - controls that are as rigorous as the weakest link .
he/it is clearly evident from the exam of this question how much is superficial and empty the debate that we lead on the political unification of europe .
let's confide to the european authority of the food security the only scientific experience , in link with our national agencies , therefore .
if one makes the summary of the progression of the main illnesses of food origin that affects europe currently , most actually made their first apparition in america .
it is nevertheless imperative to define the conditions of seisin of the food security authority to guarantee an efficient and fast action .
we should also underline , like some previous speakers , in particular mr. whitehead and mrs. gebhardt , that the white book is well more that a new authorized setting within the european union .
mr. president , i feel at a time today a satisfaction and the recognition , on the one hand with regard to the commission that hired this work in favor of a better food security , and on the other hand towards m. bowis and the set of the commission the environment , the public health and the politics of the consumers .
the amendment 17 appears especially important to me. he/it foresees that one asks for advice to the organizations of consumers .
another aspect is the organic revision of the norms on the labeling , so much for the sale on the whole that to the detail , a revision that finally gives , thanks to the traçabilité of the products and their ingredients , a correct information to the consumers and permits the possible responsibility determination in case of risk or crisis .
in my opinion , the development of a new legislation is not a good answer to the failure to respect of the existing legislation .
at the time of the vote in commission of the environment , we succeeded in re-establishing a certain balance while inserting in the domain of application the relative questions to the nutrition and other essential references to the role of the small and middle enterprises in the food habit safeguard .
mr. president , i would like to join my colleagues and to congratulate the reporter , mr. bowis , for his/her/its approach very constructive and very logical on this specific problem .
mr. president , the fact that the white book on the food security has no legislative value carries prejudice not at all to the double value that it dons definitely .
the reporter , as well as good number of european deputies members of the commission , of which myself , put the accent on the food authority , what is made of it a few regrettable .
the independence and the autonomy of the organism are the assets that serve to best the european consumer interest .
me i am said a lot of times , during all this time , that we had had luck with the reporter's choice .
mr. president , i am anxious to congratulate our colleague mr. bowis to have endeavored himself really to integrate all points of view in his/her/its report and especially to have accepted that we also referred to the most general notion of the food .
in short , mr. president , the politics cannot back out of its responsibilities .
but especially , he/it must win the respect of his/her/its equals and the confidence of the public and must bring the governments of the étatses members to accept his/her/its findings .
this is how i consider a future european authority of food security .
there is the world organization of health in geneva .
i don't hide either , that to the publication of the white book , i was against the creation of such an authority .
it is necessary to look therefore after what the european union has most elevated standards possible of food security , but this conception - unanimously shared - must analyze the economic consequences that it misleads for the sectors concerned by a requirement of production also .
the tasks of the agency will be then the following: research independent scientist , consultation , inspections and independent controls , as well as a fast alert system , but surely also a task of coordination in order to restore the confidence .
by the way , i would tell the speakers who made reference to the question of the necessity to appear sensitive to the local or traditional product promotion that this question is covered by the legislation concerning hygiene .
this consensual climate will facilitate the mission of the commission when the moment will have come to submit a balanced proposition that takes account to the maximum of the opinions exposed by the parliament and by the numerous taking parts in the domain of the food security .
to tell the truth , this topic was these last years one of the driving forces that led , of the political view point , to the signature of the convention of ottawa .
i recall my opposition to the amendments 10 and 19 for worries of budgetary consistency and , for what is the amendment 29 , i ask for the vote by blocks in order to have a better formulation of the text that suffers to my eyes of interpretation problems
here is that raises a first question. the european union and especially the commission owes all to make so that the countries that didn't make it again sign the convention of ottawa .
- (of) mr. president , dear colleagues , we know all impact of the mines antipersonnel , although they often don in some particular cases of the military justifications import .
it is he that raised for the first time , in 1996 , the question of a horizontal budgetary line and the creation of an adequate legal basis in order to provide an unique to the very numerous actions platform undertaken in this important domain .
but i cannot overlook the fact that the persuasiveness of the union to reach this objective collides somewhat to the reticence of some états members that balks to sign and to ratify the convention .
the struggle against the mines wins in efficiency when it adapts to the conditions clean to every situation .
the parliament knows that some already exists greatly too much and that thanks to our propositions of reform of the outside communal help , we hope to subtract ourselves to the heaviness of the control of the individual projects and to concentrate our proceedings with the étatses members on strategies and the global programs .
the ngo proliferated to answer the needs. and yet , strength is to note that about four years after the first conference of the nations united on the mines antipersonnel that held to geneva and more of one year after the entry in force of the convention of ottawa , many countries and of the thousands of people in the world , the most often in the poorest regions , continue to undergo the terrifying consequences of the mines terrestrial antipersonnel and of the munitions non exploded .
it is necessary that the commission improves the quality of his/her/its programs and the speed of their at a time setting in uvre .
however , i think that , if you browse them once again in a very attentive way , you will notice that there are several amendments that you mentioned that , in my opinion , carry on countries of sensitization , on the transparency , on the access reserved to the ngo , on things that function very well at the moment but that could function again more efficiently .
mrs. bonino and mr. patten are also right to declare that the parliament and the council should not take care of the administrative questions , and i listened to the remarks formulated by m. patten to this topic very attentively , because he/it estimates obviously that we would have to even less to occupy of it to us .
mr. president , has well a long time that our group actively intervenes on all the fan of the demands and measures that imposes themselves , since the interruption of the production , the destruction of the stocks , the stop of the merchandising , until the operations of mine clearance , the rehabilitation of the victims and the sensitization , .
to the étatses then to sustain the process in the international surrounding walls .
the mines represent a major obstacle naturally to the reconstruction of these countries and to the return of the refugees .
to the rhythm where we go , has been said like that before , we would need more than 100 years well to rid the planet of the mines antipersonnel .
the third domain concerns the concrete measures to propose , to control and to execute .
for every child that us protégeons in bosnia , in africa and elsewhere of the death or the horrible injuries generated by the mines , the efforts that we provide all are justified .
it is necessary to make pressure effectively on the countries of the european union that didn't sign , as finland , or that didn't ratify , as greece .
my dear colleagues , look in finland!
finally , we hope that the future tasks of strength military european township will foresee the formation of technicians , especially of people having a local interest in the disappearance of the mines .
one doesn't underline either that the list of the countries the most seriously reached is composed mainly of developing country .
the propositions of the european parliament would not know how to be more in contradiction with the objectives of lisboa .
the reporter , mrs. van lancker , wishes that the parliament decides to modify the proposition of the commission , mainly as there adding some domains for which the legislation is appropriate , and on the other hand , while defining a certain number of rights to the european level .
this is how the process of luxemburg , that applies to the politics of the employment , should be spread to the social protection and the social exclusion .
the biggest powers as germany , france , britain and , to a certain extent , italy , are all okay to submit to their domination the small countries of oriental europe or the south that ask their adherence the european union .
however , we think for legal reasons that it is a mistake to refer from now on to the article 6 of the treaty instituting the european community , because she/it doesn't have can be adopted positively within the convention - because of his/her/its structure - and doesn't have a legal existence therefore .
he/it thinks that the inclusion of a new text in the treaties risk to sow the legal confusion .
otherwise , the reporter makes himself/itself the echo of the new theory in vogue in brussels , the supposed double legitimacy of the european union ,: the one of the citizens represented by the european parliament and the one of the étatses represented by the council .
the deputies swedish and danish social democrats voted this day against the report written by m. olivier duhamel on the constitutionnalisation of the treaties .
it is essential that the european union evolves toward a constitution that incorporates the fundamental right charter .
a constitution would not have a sense that if it constituted the democratic setting of a real european federation , of united states of europe .
he/it told us to have believed to understand , in agreement with a big part of the political class , that we preferred to govern our relations with the other countries by an international treaty .
. (of it) i welcome the report of m. duhamel like an interesting and constructive contribution to the idea of the constitutionnalisation of the treaties .
they think that a reorganization and a simplification of the treaties would allow the citizens to surround the field of the responsibilities of the eu , his/her/its limits , as well as the procedures of exercise of the responsibilities better in question. the charter of the rights has been prepared on the basis of a convention implying the national parliaments , the european parliament and the government's representatives .
until the treaty of amsterdam in 1997 , europe was a terrific intergovernmental union .
the edd group voted against the report gil-robles gil-delgado on a reinforced cooperation .
he/it shows the conception of an union indeed many too monolithic , where all cooperations should express themselves inside the " unique " institutional setting , and where they would have to all to be directed toward the objective of the terrific état .
it is necessary to avoid to slow down the march of the whole therefore and therefore to allow some états members to go from the before while developing the reinforced cooperation mechanism .
the operational structures of the unique market were always a success since the beginning of the years 1990 .
. (nl) cooperation to the european level can be useful to solve the problems transfrontaliers .
these zones could be a great laboratory concerning lasting development .
the technocrats , the european judges , wanted to suppress " the concession of sea " that nourishes in resources our townships of the doms thus and especially protected our craftsmen .
on the other hand , france possesses some territories of overseas in the indian ocean and in the caribs .
his/her/its independence will be an indispensable element to his/her/its credibility .
our vote clarified the role and the composition of the future european authority therefore , but specified our requirements concerning his/her/its financing and his/her/its independence also .
in second place , the european agency must be completely independent .
it is necessary to take into account the agricultural and agro-industrial practice type , of the problems of the food goods imports , of the composition of the ingredients of foods for animals , of the levels maxima of dioxines and residues of pesticides , of the food and other components , while granting the priority to the food security .
we voted for the amendment 15 because we are very strongly attached to the defense of the european cultural heritage bound to the local food production .
we don't have a margin in nearly no category .
we would like to write down 50% also to the budgetary line and to put 50% in reserve .
i note here that to decrease this budget aims of other propositions .
report (a5-0300 / 2000) of mrs. haug , in the name of the commission of the budgets , on the project of general budget of the european union for the exercise 2001 - section iii , commission (c5-0300 / 2000 - 1999 / 2190 (bud))
mrs. chairwoman , i appear like signatory of some amendments of this report .
(the parliament adopts the resolution)
the true surprise of this budget is about the outside actions where dominate the selfishness and the meanness .
other resources could be unblocked by means of the instrument of flexibility .
i voted against the haug report , in the same way as i voted in favor of the proposition of my group for the dismissal of the general budget for 2001 .
we refer in particular to the new pilot project that will finance the actions of information in the setting of the struggle against the child molestation .
it shows , of a certain way , the few of incentive that the european project causes , even among the politically active citizens .
20 to 30% of the markets will be offered to the private competition thus again .
since all it is not guaranteed in the presented report , i voted against the report .
if one combines the low level inadmissible of the national limits , that decimates the bonuses , with the reductions proposed of the quantities of withdrawal - 5% for citrus fruits , 8 ,5% for the apples and the pears and 10% for the rest of the fruits and vegetables of the volume destined to the market - one understands that , for big quantities of products transformed to basis of fruits and vegetables , there won't be any exit for the distribution. it would have like result the global decrease of the prices , the putrefaction of the products in the fields and in facilities of conditioning of the cooperatives , accommodating thus the agriculturists to unearth that that they cultivated .
i voted for this report because he/it corresponds to the waitings of the portuguese organizations of the horticultural sector , that claim a change severe of the ocm on the fruits and the horticultural products considered deeply harmful to the national interests .
report johan van hecke (a5-0296 / 2000)
this problem plunges its roots in the sacrifice of all and all , even of the quality of the environment and the climate , on the altar of the capitalistic exploitation of resources and the excessive profit .
the rich countries had decided in kyoto to take the cleaning of their own atmosphere in charge , even though he/it was also allowed them , in strict enough limits , to write down on their own list of results the reductions of broadcasts that they help to get elsewhere .
. the struggle against the greenhouse effect is a major stake for the industrialized countries , a duty notably towards the peoples of the third-world that already pay for their life the consequences of the climatic warming up .
all the art consists in accommodating itself/themselves of it in an intelligent manner .
it will be necessary to assure also and to reinforce the effort oriented toward the detection of the substances suspected of endocrine heckler beings , maybe in a legislative setting .
the consumer and the small and middle enterprises don't benefit enough again the home market , of which the introduction of the euro dedicates the completion .
besides , these last obliged the banks up to here to communicate the transfers transfrontaliers of more than 12 500 euros in their bank central at the ends of statistics of the balance of the payments .
these enterprises should satisfy naturally to identical requirements in matters with security and scalding .
we even have knowledge of case in which expenses of transaction for payments transfrontaliers increased after the introduction of the euro , and it in non negligible proportions .
the european central bank could contribute there while imposing a formula of transfer standardized for the payments to the european level , as well as while sustaining the institution of an unique norm for the numbering of the financial accounts within the system international iban .
it is essential that the consumers accept the euro .
mrs. chairwoman , the report of mrs. peijs , relative to the payments of detail in the home market , takes the old demand of the european parliament on the cost raised of the transfers transfrontaliers within the union .
the peijs report says it himself in the d preamble of the resolution project. i mention: " the elevated expenses bound to the transfers transfrontaliers harm to the confidence of the consumers in the euro " .
we have many therefore again to make in this domain , but on this point , resources and the means of the policies are limited more that what we can make for this question of the payments of detail in the home market .
the market of the euro is felt like an interior space and the citizens don't understand why , in this space where the risks bound to the change are hopeless and where the electronic payments , notably the banking transactions by the internet , are more and more currents , a transfer between munich and salzburg is a lot more expensive than a transfer between munich and kiel .
the realization of this objective will ask again , to you as to us , of numerous years of work .
we will also take advantage of the opportunity to consider the shortening of the delay of execution of the payments transfrontaliers for that the report of mrs. peijs asks insistently .
the debate is closed .
he/it seems good politics however to prefer a pragmatic gait and of proximity , that places the small enterprise to the cur of the device , rather than a proposition that , under pretext to avoid the saupoudrage , would only serve to produce statistical just whose concrete use would be perfectly impossible .
concretely , i have three observations to formulate on this program .
let's recall that the first communal action program in this domain has been adopted in 1983 , that means seventeen years ago .
otherwise , i wanted to reach these objectives always via an efficient and pragmatic politics .
i would say that these are real economic commandos and of innovation , being in first line and very exposed to the inherent risks in this domain .
we will finally have to hold account of the results of the works of the symposium " sciences and governance " that were held , last week , in brussels , under the aegis of the center of technological forecasting of seville , as well as of the follow-up of this symposium , because there are numerous interferences with the topic that we treat today .
the reporter retails a set of priorities aiming to reinforce the european enterprise mind .
it is excellent for the picture of europe because one can help people in a fast , correct and competent way .
mr. president , i also want myself to associate me to acknowledgments for the excellent work provided by mrs. montfort .
the important , it is to find the happy medium , to avoid that of no don't fail continually to costs of the other .
it is not just and i sustain this report therefore!
such is also the leading principle of the charter for the small enterprises .
the program will make so that the networks provide this information .
it is obvious that the main goal of this plan is to suppress the emigration toward the countries of the european union , as well as to repatriate the people who live illegally in the union .
i especially underline the need of setting up of measures for the improvement of the interior security , the backing of the dialogue between the europeans and the regional authorities of albania and , with regard to the commission and the council , the promotion of particular actions in cooperation with the albanian , italian and greek authorities .
the social , economic and political report absence , combined to the lack of security and to the organized criminality clear on fluxes of mass emigration .
mr. president , contrary to my colleague pack , my opinion is that more will have groups that will take care of albania , better it will be .
he/it is not well sensible possible to find a solution immediately to the problem in his/her/its whole , but to a few longer term , the goal is to create a world of fairness and reason , that offers to the men the security and of the future possibilities .
a ditch also exists between , on the one hand , the donors , that means us all , europe , the united states , that give the money , that elaborates some projects , and , on the other hand , the people who work on the land .
let's use the bilateral agreements therefore , which , in a legal and lucid manner , will define works , the living length , the living place , the remuneration , the hours , the conditions of work and social security , so that the emigrants become thus a strength that will enhance savings of our countries and will contribute to the friendship and cooperation between peoples and not to the culture of nationalistic and worthy aspirations of the cold war .
the men and women are sent back whereas they had integrated more or less .
the priority must not be given to the means to limit the fluxes of migrants or refugees , but to the manner to improve the conditions of life of the region so that people don't have to leave their home .
mr. president , i also believe myself , as said it so well mrs. dimitrakopoulos , that he/it remains in the center of what constitutes the difficulties of albania - economic , social and of internal security - the question to help this country to re-establish his/her/its state of right , to confer the security to his/her/its citizens , to re-establish the authority of his/her/its institutions and his/her/its local administrations .
i share the opinion of our colleague liese , according to which we have need to establish a distribution of the loads of the politics of asylum and the politics of the refugees .
the plan of action for albania has been adopted in june of this year , and it is therefore the sixth of the kind .
one notes , in the population , a diffuse frustration , but also an ignorance of the communal right. we wish to invite the european parliament as well as the other communal institutions to not to move back before the small laborious works , to work with precision , to dedicate the time and the necessary staff to the achievement of the tasks .
with this report , we want to show to the citizens that we take their relative complaints seriously to the very mediocre quality of the legislation as well as those relative to the regionalization and to centralization excessive .
the treated topic is of course essential , even though the number restricts present people to debate some doesn't let it suppose necessarily at first sight .
besides , and it is there about an essential point , the report approaches the question of the subsidiarity , that , tonight , raise the controversy in this hemicycle .
it would be also very interesting that she/it makes a state of the places of the legislation , in light of this principle , to make more she simple , more transparent , more efficient and more applicable while ridding it of the superfluous texts , as the invites the paragraph 6 of this report there .
after having studied the report with a lot of attention , i happened to from it to the conclusion that it even is not about a political principle but of a theological principle .
it is necessary to guarantee the recognition of the subsidiarity principle therefore until the smallest communities , to the autonomous realities , to the intermediate formations , to the social formations , to the families and to the citizens who are the unique real sovereign of the legislative and administrative action .
i am going therefore to give you a synthetic vision of the situation .
i give the speech to m. the commissioner .
is this a domain where we should evolve toward a detailed regimentation , with the guarantee that she/it will be put everywhere in uvre or would have to us to evolve toward a voluntary agreement , so long as he/it can be put in uvre and controlled?
- (of) if i voted in favor of the report , even though some of my amendments have not been adopted , it is because he/it also bends on the question of expenses raised of change and transfer in the zone euro .
when , in about fifteen months , the same pieces and tickets will be introduced in eleven étatses members , he/it will be more expensive to obtain this new monetary unit outside of the country where one lives .
mr. president , mr. commissioner , dear colleagues , i would like to start with saying that i regret that the commissioner of the fishing , mr. fischler , cannot be among us today .
this one must encourage cooperation concerning fishing and the sector of the moroccan fishing and at the same time to satisfy the interests of fishing of the european fleets fully .
we succeeded consequently to a consensus working in the perspective of a responsible partnership , after what morocco will present its point of view at the time of a meeting that will be held , as you underlined it , in brussels , october 30 , that means monday .
some weeks ago , i am myself myself returned to algeciras , on the coast south spaniard. it is not far from morocco .
with the passing of the time , we could observe that they were not only difficult but also that they could become impossible .
by the slant of the fishing agreements , the european union can exercise activities of fishing and exchange prerogatives of fishing with countries third .
i read in a swedish technical magazine on the fishing how one of these boats disembarks his/her/its hold in el aaiún , that is described like a moroccan harbor .
all it is put to the test. it is the set of our agreements of fishing and not merely with morocco since there is also mauritania and soon guinea , among others , - that are put back in reason .
one took eleven months to arrive from it to the point of inflection where we are currently , to know the meeting of the 30 and , in this sense , we know how to appreciate the last measures valued by commissioner fischler also , the results of his/her/its journey of the 26 to morocco and the interviews held to a high level , including with the king himself .
but i would like to transmit to the commission , represented today worthily by commissioner busquin , some very brief messages .
my question to the commission is the following: if one doesn't come to an agreement with morocco , or if this agreement is concluded in the terms signalled by the commission , an agreement that stimulates the moroccan production , the commission thinks it to adopt structural measures to compensate the delay who will occur in the affected regions?
as we imagined it , the difficulties of negotiation with the moroccan authorities were big .
finally , to the case , regrettable , where the negotiations would fail , the union has the political and moral obligation to sustain the fishers and the owners by satisfactory and capable helps to assure them means of subsistence .
it is necessary to reduce the overcapacity of the industry of the communal fishing .
it is why we have need as soon as possible of narrow economic and political relations with morocco , while defending the interests of our european fishers at the same time .
it is why the commission works on the basis of a new partnership aiming a development interesting the two parts with , on the one hand , the complete development of the sector of the fishing of morocco , the fleet , the aquaculture , the commercial transformation , research and , on the other hand , the concession of fishing possibilities to the european fishers .
right of the language professors
the difference is clean , and not only in german language .
in july 1999 , the commission carried this procedure of infringement before the judicial court .
therefore , unless one succeeds in harmonizing the systems - for what we hope - at the moment , the respect of the subsidiarity principle can only permit one makes pass for a discrimination that that , more probably , is the demand of a privilege .
we can probably admit that the previous commission , the one of m. santer , was not the best , it is the reason for which it himself in went .
the members of the legal commission and the home market of the set of the union and of all parties , are united themselves to proclaim the pointlessness to speak of rights and to recommend the adoption of charters of rights if , in very real situations where individuals are deprived of their rights , one doesn't make anything so that these rights are recognized and respected. such is the problem in the present case .
this attitude is quite unacceptable in a modern europe .
the domain of the education evidently raises more subsidiarity , but in the setting of the treaties , the free circulation of the workers and the interdiction of discrimination are us clean to all , although us - and especially me , because i come from a very federative état - we declared partisans of the subsidiarity principle as principle of order of cooperation within the european union and that we committed so that the assignments of expertise between the levels in europe are classified as soon as possible according to the principle of subsidiarity .
in this context , he/it cannot be anymore question of discrimination .
you , mr. president , you would make take care of you by someone that knows the surgical terms well in italian , english , french , german , or by a surgeon?
(the sitting is raised to 10h56)
we express them our deepest sympathy .
i give the speech to m. ceyhun , that expresses itself as reporter and in the name of the group of the socialists .
with regard to the declarations of the council and the commission on the third meeting asia - europe , the council made us known that it doesn't wish to intervene at the moment .
therefore , it is a question that , according to the treaties and the treaty euratom , relief of the expertise of the commission; she/it concerns , or could concern , many citizens who are not exclusively spanish because there is , in this zone and in his/her/its region , without there is no plan of emergency , of the hundreds of thousands of european citizens coming from the fifteen countries of the union , without speaking of the numerous people who come from the outside to benefit of the costa del soil .
mrs. chairwoman , he/it is sad , although very revealing , to hear the minister of the spanish inside , mr. mayor oreja , to declare that he/it doesn't serve to anything to converse with the basque nationalists and that , even though a new cease-fire was declared in the future .
permit me to ask that we examined this week a declaration of the relative commission to the decision of the british government to introduce a discriminatory tax for the non british road carriers .
since the parties that one says liberal and same european offer to ally with strengths of xenophobic , racist and authoritative inspiration more and more , i believe that it is not only a serious danger for italy but also a signal of something that concerns all the europe .
my report contains serious however critical with regard to the french proposition .
these demands are expressed in the amendments 2 and 4 of the karamanou report .
the initiative of the french presidency that we examine today has for object to improve the two general conventions of judicial help in penal matter - that i mentioned previously - especially in the domain of the struggle against the scalding .
it is necessary to admit well that if the project of the struggle against the scalding of money underwent a prejudice , the mistake doesn't come back from it to the parliament , but well to the council .
we can only congratulate them on this work .
naturally , the way to follow , as mr. marinho says it - i suit some - is the communautarisation .
all people who are expressed themselves agreed that it was about an excellent initiative , and we sustain his/her/its content .
what we need , it is that europol can operate through the borders .
these facts too often occur in our europe of today and , before bringing my support to a hasty mutual recognition , i would like to see a mutual recognition of equitable norms .
i conceive that it is difficult because we must construct from dispersed instruments .
but it is also a necessity to reinforce the economic pole that the european union represents and it corresponds to the citizen's wish of which we must take account because the citizens of the european union have right to the security .
in the european union , we must fight with tenacity against the scalding of funds , while being conscious that we need an efficient political and judicial cooperation between the étatses members , as efficient as possible , especially since the creation of the unique market and the liberalization of the markets of funds and the financial services .
as for the financial advice , nothing permits to think that the lawyer doesn't practise his profession as such .
in the same way , i would like to say that i am conscious of the gentleness of the question put by different deputies on the conditions in which the legal profession confidentiality can constitute a refusal founded of judicial cooperation concerning struggle against the scalding of funds .
it is especially true with regard to the offenses serious and most serious clerks on a plane transfrontalier .
in his/her/its whole , the mission is so vast and important that it cannot be assumed by the only council .
he/it follows that it is necessary to reinforce the rights of the citizens while adopting an efficient instrument and to recognize the expertise of the judicial court , notably as for his/her/its right to the interpretation and to his/her/its power to enact or no .
from then on , although i am favorable to a backing of cooperation and the coordination , i think that to make of this a legislative system would constitute a mistake , and we would oppose it .
the second point that i would like to raise is also interesting .
it is there a positive initiative , and it is necessary to be delighted therefore that she/it gets such a support in this assembly .
i am going to take advantage of this opportunity - since several deputies raised very delicate questions - to tell you very honestly , as has just said it mr. coelho , that this initiative especially appears us as one first initiative that demonstrates the political will of the council to recover the delay that exists concerning judicial cooperation , in relation to the police cooperation .
and it is why i see an important instrument there also to guarantee the jurisdictional control of europol .
the program relative fair to the actions of research in the domain of agriculture and the fishing was included in the fourth framework program that ran from 1994 to 1998 .
seen the importance of the research program for agriculture and for the fishing , it is regrettable that one raised some problems in the organization of the program .
the report of the court of the accounts on the fair program , to the origin of the reporter's report , has not been published that in march of this year even though the letters of sector concerning the audit had been sent initially by the commission in december 1998 and february 1999 .
i would like , in the name of the commission of the fishing , to put in evidence some points .
you underlined , and i thank you for it , the mind that governed this report , by the dialogue with the court of the accounts , the services of the commission and the interest that you carried there .
it illustrates that the commission didn't remain inactive and that it follows up on the remarks that you formulated .
i come from it to the question that mrs. morgan asked on the recovery of the sums .
thank you very much , mr. commissioner .
this price will be delivered to the ya'pendant association'basta the period of next december session .
i am convinced intimately that she/it also implies , even though some chiefs of état and government don't want to admit it , the opening of the constitutional process so often and asked so stubbornly by this parliament .
i am especially happy to be in front of you today to debate way deepened of this beautiful project that is the charter of the rights fundamental of the european union , before you adopted the final position of your assembly on this text .
i don't have , for my part , no doubt that this opportunity will present itself .
he/it is true while some critiques have can be formulated concerning the content of the charter .
i believe that it is there about an important position hold and that i greet .
it was a big success for us other , parliamentary - and the groups made forehead on this point , what is a positive result - , to have gotten that sixteen deputies represent the european parliament within the convention .
i estimate that this charter is master's stroke and that it can become , as a big european newspaper titled it last september 26 , the business card of europe .
therefore , my group continues to think that it is absolutely fundamental to include a reference to the charter in the article 6 , paragraph 2 , of the treaty .
numerous were those that thought that europe finally detained the possibility to leave the unique zone of free trade and the liberal rut to throw the bases of an europe of the citizens .
at the time of the european summit of nice , in december , the civil society decided to mobilize itself/themselves to make to hear his/her/its voice and to protest his/her/its desire of a charter offering real guarantees for the citizens of europe .
for that to make , beyond the signatures , it is essential that all countries and all political strengths take an efficient engagement and respects it every day. the charter is not amendable .
let's cry then or let's make semblance to be happy , let's celebrate this big event that is not less of them a big empty event .
the convention accomplished excellent work .
it is at a time the person's rights , the citizen's rights , but also the social rights .
the right to the good administration , that mrs. malmström also evoked , represent one of the most meaningful progress .
in what measure mr. blair will grant to its pack the liberty to express itself/themselves on this brilliant project , i don't know anything of it , because i didn't hear it again .
the last time , you had spoken half of the glass empty or half full .
but the council of cologne , assisted by the surrounding wall , that played his/her/its role of confusion sower marvellously , ended up making everybody forget that it is there about a national parliament expertise , that these last are making itself/themselves steal by progressive slips .
when it is protective about the fundamental rights , an excess can prove to be just as dangerous that an insufficiency!
when one hears the interventions of some deputies , one realizes that this information is more necessary than ever .
the big question that divides us is to know to what serves this charter .
we will certainly vote in favor of the charter , but with the feeling that it won't permit to mobilize the enthusiasm and the implication so much necessary of the citizens with regard to europe. as usual , the governments - and some more that of others - will assume the historic responsibility of it .
according to the co - reporter , mr. duff , she/it constitutes a crucial step toward the improvement of the quality of the european integration .
for those that feel the need of it , i recommend to read the explanations contained in the convention 49 , and to take knowledge of the jurisprudence of the two courthouses that is bound to the charter .
mr. president , i had some doubts a long time .
for the first time since the creation of the european union , we have foundations of a constitution , a constitution for the supranational structure that is the union .
the demonstration is a call in a social and democratic europe , an europe of the citizens .
the project of charter can be used , to temporary title , by the parties , the unions , the environmental organizations , the churches and a lot of other groupings of the étatses members of the union and countries candidates , like an interesting document of reflection on the future of the collaboration between the european peoples .
i would like to stop on three points that have already been approached this morning .
the charter that will be adopted today will reinforce and will put in evidence the values and rights fundamental outbuildingses on which our community must rest .
i join , naturally , to those and those that wish to write down , to the article 6 , a reference to the charter and his/her/its ulterior integration in the treaties .
let's recall ourselves the case of bernard connolly , of which the critical book on the commission has been forbidden by the courthouse of first process .
this synthesis is important , as the union is called to define the legal statute , in terms of rights and liabilities , of the nationals of the étatses third that are legally in the european union .
i am , as for me , precisely as him , convinced , on the one hand , that she/it will have immediate unique effects and , on the other hand , that she/it will be shortly coercive .
i heard , during this debate , some forceful formulas ,: the charter would be a bone for the dog - the dog being the european parliament - or the hide - sex of the renouncements of a moribund french presidency , notably in his/her/its conduct of the cig .
it is the reason that brought our parliament to propose the setting up of an euro - turkish forum , associating in a reflection deepened the representatives qualified of the turkish community and the european parliamentarians who will have received the mandate of it .
the unanimity doesn't mean that we are all satisfied of the democracy in turkey and the manner whose turkey respects the human rights: we are not it .
this calm , i know of course the candidacy of the continuous turkey to cause some questioning .
the wish of the presidency is that this project is adopted quickly , so possible makes some since november 20 , by the next council " general " business and , as i already indicated it , in the respect of the decisions very precise holds in helsinki .
him in home not less - as the commission very clearly affirmed it in his/her/its regular report - that turkey must , like all others country candidates , to respect the criterias of copenhagen in the setting of the closeness process .
in his/her/its speech of last month before the turkish parliament , president sezer very clearly exposed why turkey didn't have an alternative to the engagement of reforms .
i thank you for your attention .
there also , there were some slightly positive signals .
we will resist the tentatives , sometimes deceptive , to break the balance that the report succeeded in reaching , and we will resist the amendments that try to make of the european parliament a courthouse to judge the past in particular .
it is a lucid evidence , as he/it is obvious that turkey will have to , like all civilized society , to get used to the idea to face his/her/its past , as horrible as this one was .
the adherence of turkey on such a basis - and no because of considerations géostratégiques of usa or the nato - would constitute an enrichment for the european union and a meaningful step toward the unification of europe .
does one forget that a small part only some turkish territory is part of the european continent?
we will vote therefore against this report , as we voted against all reports aiming to integrate turkey in the european union .
the biggest damage would be to awaken in turkey the hopes that cannot be satisfied because of the political situation .
report (a5-0310 / 2000) of mrs. langenhagen , in the name of the commission of the budgetary control , on the report special n º 9 / 1999 of the court of the accounts relative to the actions of research in the domain of agriculture and the fishing - program fair (fisheries , agriculture and agro-industrial research) - accompanied of the answers of the commission (c5-0227 / 2000 - 2000 / 2133 (co))
i am delighted with this report and i will vote for .
instead of pulling the human rights and the social rights upwards , she/it will facilitate the operations destined to pull them downwards .
he/it doesn't make the shade of a doubt that his/her/its final objective is to act as preamble to an european constitution to come that , on his/her/its turn , will constitute the coronation of the march of the eu toward the federalization where , institutionalized henceforth , the decisions will be taken by some powerful to be applied by all. the main objective is to serve the interests of the monopolistic capital of the european union to the detriment of the interests of the workers and , generally , of the peoples .
a typical case is presented by the article 2-2 " no one can be condemned to the capital punishment , nor executed " .
nowhere he/it is said , in spite of our demands , that the family is formed of a man and a woman who raise some children , and that she constitutes the cell fundamental of the society .
insofar as the judges have not been elected , it represents a receding concerning democratic government .
certainly , i would have liked it directly built-in in our european treaties!
i abstained nevertheless at the time of the final vote , because i estimate that some social rights are formulated in a less straightforward manner than the economic rights .
the initial idea of the convention was to have a consensual text that would allow the fifteen governments to make it coercive by his/her/its incorporation in the treaties .
actually , the struggle against the social exclusion is relegated to the rank of the aid , instead of putting the requirement of coercive elementary rights for the employers and the étatses .
for my part , i am convinced that secularism is a value émancipatrice and of actuality .
also miss the social obligation bound to the property .
it is clear that this document is not conceived to don a character juridically coercive , since it doesn't constitute a legal text .
some members of the irish government raised , there is little , of the questions as for the fact to know if brussels threatened the irish identity and mr. ahern , while affirming that the adherence of ireland to the eu was fundamental for his/her/its prosperity and his/her/its economic success , is opposed itself firmly to all fast movement toward a more federal europe - centralized - , since it would go well beyond what most europeans want or is ready to accept at the moment .
do guess who carried away it?
i underline to the passage that to the course of this period of session , seven reports to the total find their origin in national initiatives , what proves that this system , where he/it exists , is finally very productive .
this measures volontaristes is quite indispensable to fight against this phenomenon , that didn't quit to develop itself/themselves and to internationalize itself/themselves .
by the slant of this initiative , the french presidency proposes the adoption of a decision centers in view of the closeness of the laws and procedures in penal matter on the scalding of money (for example , tracking , frost and confiscation of fund) .
all étatses members should treat the scalding of money like a crime liable of a minimum of four years of confinement .
since the scalding of money takes enormous proportions to the world level , it is obvious that europol should benefit from the powers to fight it , in order to elaborate an european strategy of police and judicial cooperation .
i greet the report of mrs. roure on a new initiative of the french presidency - in view , this time , to improve the legal cooperation , in order to guarantee that no gate prevents the extradition of criminals suspected of scalding of money or other offenses making intervene of the illicit funds .
mrs. chairwoman , it is the only report to the topic of which i voted adversely .
it would be the first état member that throws a geographical footbridge over the gulf that separates us of asia , and the first again of mainly moslem tradition .
it is especially true as we hire in increasing quantity of resources of the eib and that , without covering the economic risks that we take completely .
in this setting , i signal the essential conclusion of the paragraph 22 that affirms that turkey doesn't fill the criterias of copenhagen and i underline the numerous condemnations of the acts and defaults , whose turkey made the object in the domains of the human rights , of the democratic liberties and in his/her/its international behavior , as well as the recommendations to conform itself/themselves to the pertaining european values that the european parliament addressed to this country .
we are worried , mr. president , not to hear , today , of such encouragements on behalf of the official turkish and of the turkish press , but there is probably a tentative of reaction .
eleven years after the fall of the wall of berlin , nicosie is the only capital of europe that remains divided .
the indispensable progress have not been accomplished in a sufficient proportion and turkey must pursue its efforts .
mr. president , mr. the president of the council , mr. commissioner , dear colleagues , it is in my reporter's quality for the adherence of cyprus that i wish to take the floor in this debate .
mr. president , he/it is not possible to us to vote the morillon report , because we are convinced that , contrary to what he/it affirms and to for what a big number of people hopes , in turkey the adherence won't improve the life of the peoples also .
but i believe at the same time as it is not necessary to brush a picture too black of the situation .
there is an internal relation therefore .
euro - mediterranean conferences in marseille
mr. brok , that joined us , wondered precisely about the delays noted in the negotiation .
we have , us europeans , an experience to put forward .
actually , it is not about only , as in 1995 , to re-establish a balance with the east of europe , it is also about preparing the future widening of the union .
xenophobia , the terrorism of états or other shapes of terrorism is also a matter for this domain and i hope that we will also have the possibility to put good order there .
it is a fact of which we must , alas , to accommodate us .
but , once again , we should be straightforward .
all it shows the conscience of the maladjustment of the results reached up to here , even though the answers are not yet , to my eyes , to the height of the situation , and even though it is necessary to recognize that five years , it is not many for processes as complex .
it is why i believe that today's debate can serve to make we conscious of the central importance of this politics for the entire union .
it is not of a competition between all these needs that it is about , but these are new funds that we must find .
the gearing of the violence in near east , the war led with violence and determination against the palestinian population , to that israel continues to refuse his/her/its right to a état , threatens the future of the whole region .
mr. president , all as the european union must find , in nice , the balance between deepening and widening , it should develop , in marseille , a relation balanced between his/her/its function european power station and his/her/its mediterranean responsibility .
however , the general idea of the balances that one raises in this fifth birthday of the process of barcelona is that we can consider ourselves satisfied of the simple continuity of the process , because there were ministerial meetings with the presence of representatives of israel , of the palestinian authority , of syria , of lebanon , etc. it is maybe a skinny consolation .
the common problems that hit the mediterranean region are legion: illegal immigration , poverty , outside debt , human rights , drought and terrorism , that destroy the life of human beings and innocent families mercilessly , as we live it tragically in spain , in algeria or to middle east .
we are ready to believe them , but the countries of the south need other thing that of promises or speeches: he/it belongs us to give it to them .
europe didn't undertake any politics concerning desertification or water in the mediterranean countries; he would agree to undertake a specific politics to the mediterranean environment that would take the parameters , the logical and same the diversity of the climate in mediterranean .
the propositions that are in front of us today are a lot more balanced .
i now come from it to the agency in the kosovo .
we cannot disappoint them and , today more that these countries ever , need our help .
in manner of conclusion - and i will take the words of the commission - , i would say that these two propositions constitute the corner stone of a process that must allow these countries , that suffered and suffer again , to be able to integrate fully in the european structures .
in the future , we must confer the responsibility to a smaller number - to a director also , if you want - so that someone assumes the responsibility truly opposite the organ that selects the different programs .
i thank all colleagues who estimated therefore that this objective was important and be delighted that in the future , we will be able to reinforce this domain - in terms of contents - within these countries .
i read in some communications on the elections in bosnia that the extremist nationalists took back the legislative elections in bosnia-herzegovina .
the european union - you know it - is implied itself with determination to contribute to these historic changes .
the exam of the westendorps reports and lagendijk on the relative regulation propositions , one to the framework program and , the other , to the european agency for the reconstruction gives us the opportunity to come back on the size of the support that the union hears to grant to the western balkan , in order to come with the process of stabilization and association .
the victory waited so much of the democracy in croatia , then in yugoslavian federal republic , impose , we know it , to the european union to really go beyond .
hour of the questions (council)
their objects being related , i call the questions simultaneously 2 and 3 .
a new delay of four months has just been granted to the parts - it is the resolution 1324 - to endeavor to progress on the two foreheads .
i would like to interrogate you on the state of the association agreement with morocco .
the stability and the development of caucasus represent one of the strategic priorities for the european union .
as for the discussion with turkey , we come out of a very important debate to this topic and you know the positions of the european union very precisely on this point .
i want merely that the minister insists on the fact that the proposed legislative measures aim those that exploit and pull profit of people being in desperate situations and doesn't have for goal to criminalize the immigrants or the potential immigrants more .
so many the legislative measures that of the actions destined to increase the debate and to develop the hold of conscience are necessary .
i believe that it is necessary to fight effectively against these crimes by all means , absolutely all means , and i note than so much the council of the union that the general united nation assembly and , i think , the turkish government , are ready to that to make .
it is besides because the 14 other countries disapproved of that they took some measures .
i take an example: if tomorrow in my country , france - and there i express myself as minister - came to the power a party of extreme - right , i would wish that one takes against my country of the measures of the type of those that has been taken in opposition to austria .
for my part , i wanted to speak of values: i spoke of the values as they appear in our texts , i spoke of the values as they are reaffirmed in the fundamental right charter and i spoke notably - it is true - of the struggle against all discriminations , that is registered to the european text frontispiece. it is it that we must make respect .
i recall that this political dialogue constitutes , to the sides of the future partnership for the adherence , one of the elements of the strategy of pre - adherence of turkey defined to this opportunity .
n question º 12 of (hs 0850 / 00):
it is it that we use ourselves and it is in that line and in no other that we are going to commit .
to this opportunity , strength is to recognize that the moroccan part didn't answer the communal offer .
these are citizens of scotland , where , after 110 days of detention , all person accused of having committed an offense must either to be judged , either to be freed and more to be accused ever of this offense .
have the concrete measures been taken (security of the stores , energizing efficiency) to make the economy of the étatses members less sensitive to the outside crises? what are the means and the priorities of the council to court , middle and long term , being about the energizing output and savings of energy?
the position of the union on the measures extraterritoriales enacted by the united states didn't change .
finally , i recalled that the european union took note with preoccupation of the observations made there by the agencies and united nation programs and deplored the negative and often dramatic consequences of the american economic embargo therefore for the cuban population .
doesn't the council understand that it is par excellence about a political problem and that it is inadmissible that it holds to equal distance of the victim and the executioner?
on the one hand , this office is compliant to the decision of the commission to decentralize; on the other hand , it presents excellent results of management in the task that it accomplishes .
these don't recognize the borders. we must fight the activities illegal transfrontalières , that it is in the domain of the traffic of drugs , the cooperation transfrontalière or the human being bill .
he/it would agree that mr. commissioner patten , who possesses a big experience - not to say wisdom - in the international crisis treatment , and that , besides , visited various regions of the balkan peninsula , goes to the seat of the agency for the reconstruction , in thessalonique , to see how operates this service .
but this region , the region the more tormented of europe , has never been filled also of hope that today .
but i am anxious above all to thank the assembly for the excellent quality and the speed of his/her/its work at the time of the exam of these two propositions of regulation .
we also reached fast results in serbia , where the commission put in place , of it only spaces it of four weeks , a program of help of emergency of a total amount of 200 millions of euros .
of course , we can also accept the proposition wanting that the leading lines adopted in the future by the commission reflect this same research of a bigger efficiency that underlies our reforms .
i hope that the parliament will understand the significance of the propositions that i presented in may and that it will continue to work in a constructive way with the other to this very difficult question. however , me then to offer my support to the amendment of the parliament aiming to suppress the requirement of the unanimity , because it would go in opposition to the opinion of the college .
the challenge of this third summit organized in seoul consisted in deepening the asem process so much for the participants of the governments that for the big public .
being about the domain " interpersonnel " (people-to-people) , the principle of opening of the asem process to a bigger section of the civil society has been maintained , although the initiatives of the ngo aiming to establish a social forum could not see the day because of the reticence of some asian partners .
as is we very happy that the summit of seoul had place , and that government's chiefs , except one or two , were there present .
there were even two concrete propositions that have been adopted , to know the round table on internationalization and the duet fellowship program , which foresees 4 300 fellowships to competition of 25 millions of american dollars .
the communication of the commission limits itself to approach the relative aspects to expertise corresponding to the community and the étatses members in the tasks ensuing of the involvement in the orps .
if one leaves from the principle that , of all inshore countries existing in the world , rare are those that benefit from the potential economic , legal , legislative and political of which arrange the european union , one will understand to what point it is important to ask us what is our responsibility .
the reform of the pcp will be vital , but it will be even more important to put the adequate reforms in place .
i think here about the migratory fishes .
we are all conscious of it , in all the european union and well beyond .
mr. president , ladies and gentlemen the deputies , i would first of all like to thank you for the support that you grant to the efforts that we achieve to promote and to reinforce the action of the community in the regional organizations of fishing .
until now , some progress could be recorded certainly already , but it is necessary to use itself/themselves to find a better scheduling in the time above all .
indeed , the continuous improvement of the productivity of raisings already generates a growth of the offer and if this one had to come with an extension without boundary-marks of the production device , it would follow all over again , ineluctably , a heavy unbalance of the market .
instead of it , he/it is a lot more judicious than every producer of porcine meat constitutes his/her/its own savings. to every breeder of pigs his/her/its moneybox .
he/it is made mention of the necessity there also to encourage the organizations of producers , whose implantation varies strongly from a état member to the other .
the organizations of the markets , as well as they functioned up to here , encouraged the process of concentration more that they didn't prevent it .
the globalization of the economy presents itself here like a trap , and it doesn't have anything to see with the cyclic crises .
all breeder , where that he/it is in the union , will be able to subscribe to this device .
mr. president , mr. commissioner , the author of the report , mr. garot , dealt with seriousness and specified this proposition of the commission in view of the institution of fund of regulation of the sector of the porcine meat .
it is a question of balance .
in this sense , i must say that my findings are different from those of my colleague mr. garot. with regard to the proposition of the commission , i be able to nearly approve it as she/it has been presented , although , if we want to be honest , we must recognize that she/it doesn't bring anything concrete to solve the problematic .
then , there is the implication of the producers specialized of piglets in the proposed system , as the amendments 7 and 13 underline it .
what is this therefore , do i pray you , that the commission presented us?
first , an analysis of the budgetary execution and the practices of management has been carried through for each of the financial categories .
on this point , the court repeats what it said the previous years , to know that such a tendency has negative consequences ,: maladjusted and hasty decisions , overcharge of work dragging a risk of mistakes , etc .
the dramatic events that took place lately clearly demonstrated that the problems of management and control weighed more and more heavy on the european diary .
it penalizes the étatses conscientious members and rewards least conscientious .
in this respect , i would like to add quickly that the commission puts the accent in his/her/its work on the outside help improvement , so much in the sense of an institutional restructuring in this domain that in the sense of a reinforced and faster liquidation than in the past of the important rests to liquidate .
now , the european parliament is in an extremely delicate situation , because it declared this year again - in january - that it would not accept any serious mistakes anymore in the fence of the accounts of 1999 .
i would like to raise some problems and i hope that mr. karlsson will be able to answer my questions today .
we need numbers more and more of facts .
i would wish that it already makes itself this year so that we can begin to value the dgs .
we know all of course the commission works to some changes .
it will decrease the number of mistakes .
the commission is resulted therefore henceforth from the respect of the rules .
then me before all to thank mr. karlsson because this year , cooperation with the commission of the budgetary control worked greatly better than the previous years .
i ask you to make an ordering of the countries and sectors the more concerned by the bad management in the eu .
mrs. chairwoman , i would also like to thank the court of the accounts sincerely for the report and for his/her/its political assessment , yesterday , to the commission of the budgetary control. the efforts of reform and their necessity have been underlined once besides .
one must be able to read what has been said by mrs. sieve laan der there - and we are thereon all okay .
for that to make , maybe it is necessary to grant to the president of the court a more important decision power on the methods of the court and on the way of which this one communicates .
the rates are different from a état to another and their composition is different from a état to another .
in his/her/its most important work concerning the common agricultural politics , the special report on the arable cultures , the court concludes that , of 1993 to 1997 , the communal budget paid out more thirteen thousand billions of euros more than what would be reasonable .
don't ask me any questions to which it is impossible to answer .
the court of the accounts must also change his/her/its methods of work .
one can always be delighted with something .
this report has been approved by a big majority of the members of the commission of the environment of the parliament , and , therefore , i am going to defend the result of the vote of this commission .
the second point concerns the interdiction of export , of which one has just praised the merits .
i have some reserves therefore and would be minded to reject this disposition .
to the second or third reading , we will need famous 314 voice and , as the report is currently , we won't certainly get them .
the commission has just proposed a measure , shy but welcome , active in this direction , that the commissioner will develop a few more maybe when he will answer .
we agree with the reporter on the necessity to inform the consumer as for the risks and to play the card of the transparency , notably concerning health and security .
according to me , it is preferable to take more in consideration the principle of the subsidiarity .
however , i remember a thick discussion that i had with my daughter elisabetta whereas she/it was nine years old and that she/it asked me to be going to make an only tour in the street .
it was necessary to insure that we guarantee a total protection of the consumers , without regulating some however things several times or in a contradictory way .
otherwise , i would like to underline the importance of the amendments approved by the commission the environment , the public health and the politics of the consumers , that reinforce the transparency with regard to the final consumer and that specify the responsibilities , not only of the producers , but also of the distributors at the time of the possible operations of withdrawal of products considered like dangerous .
it also means that when new arrangements are taken in the setting of the sectorial legislation , these supplant arrangements of the guideline .
good number of the amendments proposed constitute an improvement of the initial text and can be accepted therefore by the commission .
third , the amendment 4 proposes to add , in preamble , a requirement forcing the étatses members to produce concrete reports with the competent and independent institution help , that they are public or private .
although the commission is in favor of cooperation and the common principles , the proposed formulation goes in opposition to the principle of subsidiarity .
no problem not ensuing of the present formulation has been signalled to the commission and the modifications would weaken the existing arrangements .
the amendments 39 and 44 propose that the information on the dangerous products are accessible to the public that after a decision of interdiction or recall has been taken. they also propose that the exchange of information covered by the professional secret is not possible between the authorities of surveillance of the markets .
mr. martelli , normally , you can express yourselves that at the end of the hour of the votes , but i give you unusually and briefly the speech .
report (a5-0294 / 2000) of mrs. eriksson , in the name of the commission of the rights of the woman and the equality of the odds , on the proposition of decision of the relative council to the program concerning the communal strategy concerning equality between the men and the women (2001-2005) (com (2000) 335 - c5-0386 / 2000 - 2000 / 0143 (cns))
mr. president , my question is about the order of the vote of the amendments concerning the paragraph 10 , that means the armenian genocide .
(the parliament adopts the proposition of resolution)
the responsibility is double: there is the one of the governments of the countries of the union , but also the one of the mediterranean partner governments .
this help is more that justified by the size of this tragedy .
the interdiction of the night work for the women was one of the rare domains in which the social legislation of some countries , while protecting the women , was a little earlier for the workers that for the workers .
i hope briskly that in the future , the commission will present annually and in due time a balance allowing the parliament to lead an analysis and a discussion more in depth .
it is therefore with regret that i voted against this proposition .
it is important that our products are sure , but we must avoid to pass some limits while leading extreme actions .
today , the agency for the kosovo is directed by an advice of direction where the representatives of the étatses members and the commission arrange each of a voice and where the decisions are taken to the majority of the two third .
for serbia , the problem to solve is the one of the kosovo .
the deputies danish social democrats voted against a report aiming to introduce a regime of help in favor of the producers of pork meat within the eu .
except that , as each knows , even with a certain opening of the french presidency , the commission rejects these propositions and it doesn't seem to have majority there within the council to approve them .
a minimal variation of the offer is sufficient to provoke a situation of crisis .
mr. president , the armenian genocide was the first of a long set during this xxe century that one can qualify of century of genocides .
sweden not being arranged to participate in a defense military township , but well to the actions of civil treatment of the crises , we cannot sustain the point 15 , where one " greets the will of turkey to contribute to the european capacity improvement in the setting of the common european politics concerning security and defense. "
but beyond the duty of memory that one must require all democracy , and whose europeans know how much he/it is difficult and painful , so difficult that some european countries didn't finish it , he/it imports that of such acts of barbarism having destroyed of lives for ethnic , religious or cultural motives and that hit the universal conscience don't reproduce more ever .
it is , probably , another debate that the one of today but , in the name of the importance that i grant to turkey , i wanted to retell it today same .
the peace is there possible because these populations are not stopped anymore from exercising their right to the self-determination .
i voted for the amendments asking for this recognition , today , in order to pursue this testimony and to recognize a people's pain .
he/it took place at the time of the ottoman empire .
not only the report jové fathers would like to systematize this situation for the existing regional organizations and those that are under creation , but he/it would like to reinforce it while putting an end to the habit of the commission to make call in support of technicians coming from different états members .
my remarks are worth well evidently for the topic that occupies us today , the representation of the european community within the regional organizations of fishing , but she/it applies as well to the negotiations led for example in the setting of the world organization of the trade .
my suggestion to unite has been sustained them then by m. trittin , president of the council of the time , as well as by the european commission , so that the decision of the parliament to merge three instructions didn't come up against a lot of opposition .
an example: the pvc constitutes 0 ,7% of the total volume of the garbage incinerated .
i will finish , mr. president , while saying that the ppe group / of is satisfied of the work that has been achieved during this third reading .
mr. president , i am anxious to thank me as m. blokland for work accomplished on this important file .
to incinerate is not recycle .
the report of m. blokland now in third reading was for a lot of members elected for the first time to the commission of the environment the first test in full size permitting to learn the parliamentary practices .
new limits of broadcast , stricter , have been introduced for the new ovens to cement destined to the co - incineration , as mrs. evans underlined it .
whatever is the diversity of the national situations , one can note therefore , in all étatses of the european union , an almost general reduction of the obligatory cover , a role increased of the systems said of complementary health insurance and the discriminative factor accentuation .
it would be about on the other hand of a proposition of guideline for the following elements: the interdiction of the nominative information use descended of the genetic research , a dawn - key; the absence of previous exams of health to the subscription; the setting up of a life guarantee obligation by the insurer; the hold in account better coordinate of the repayments for the people who work and move within the union and , finally , the institution of a mediation mechanism .
we adopt a more and more positive attitude with regard to the cares transfrontaliers , and the working of the market is from then on more and more applicable to the cares of health .
the united states , for example , often " act us as example " concerning liberal economy. on the other hand , it would be a mistake fatal to take them in example for the politics of health .
it is not necessary that the eu established relative rules , for example , to information therapeutic or imposing to each the obligation to be assured , what would annihilate the diversity of the complementary health insurance systems that exists today in many countries and that function on the actuarial principle basis .
he/it proved to be thereafter that a means existed all the same to be admitted .
he/it goes from it of the health of all citizens of our états members and the cohesion of our territories .
it is not by chance that i am confronted to these problems in the dutch context .
mr. president , dear colleagues , mr. rocard invites the commission to define in one green book features of a basis insurance in the setting of the legal health insurances .
it is about a first plan preoccupation .
mr. president , those that , as us , are dedicated themselves all along their life to the social question survey remember that the old manuals generally defined the social protection like a set of protective measures of the covering état of the economically ratable risks , to individual or familiar character and to which the individuals - the domestic core - could not make face themselves .
then , it means that an important reflection on the reasons of the failure of the public medical aid is necessary .
the complementary health insurance supposes a system legal of rights and benefits .
while tempting to eliminate the discrimination on the medical antecedent basis , mr. rocard would have killed the hen to the ufs of gold .
the commission will immediately act in the setting of his/her/its expertise , and i am going to try to answer the findings of your report .
i also hope that the propositions that aim to recognize the particular importance of the qualification and the integration in the professional life will also be adopted , because it is necessary to take always into account the phenomenon more important of the social exclusion and the poverty of people yet exercising a gainful professional activity .
mr. president , ladies and gentlemen , the economic and monetary commission is also anxious to congratulate the reporter for his/her/its exposition .
the agenda calls the recommendations of the commission for an opinion of the council on the updating of the stability programs in germany , in finland and to netherlands .
it brought us to a different reflection and to ask us if this pact of stability and growth exhausted itself with the realization of the quantitative objective of a determined final number , or if it agrees to introduce other relative aspects to the public finance quality in the neighbors programs .
our message of basis is from the moment the margin aiming to the reductions of taxes must go together with a strict public expense control .
i believe than on the whole , one can consider that it is about a positive balance .
they note the overheating risks in one biggest countries of europe , that are also one of the main countries for the european economy , to know germany .
mr. president , i thank strongly m. della vedova .
he/it seems me that it is on these two shutters , on the actuality of the struggle against the esb in europe and on his/her/its developments in france , that you wished to hear us today .
we propose the european commission and our partners of the union to prepare the extension thus to the european scale of the tests , according to the scientific recommendations .
thus , efficiency , independence , transparency will be the principles - key clearly guiding the assessment of the food risk in europe .
i will come back later on this point .
however , it is necessary that these tests are put in uvre to an a lot bigger scale .
measures of active surveillance , including uncertain tests , are in progress in order to stop the cases of esb from entering in the food chain .
in the kind of situation to which we are confronted , it is always tempting to turn toward a magic solution , a solution that can eliminate the risks at a time and to restore the confidence .
i will ask for monday to the étatses members if they fear that the weakness in the execution of the controls , weakness that would go on the subject in opposition to the communal legislation , are a factor explaining the present increase of the impact of the esb .
it must be yet possible to combine speed of action at a time and serious .
it's up to you to enclose it quickly .
it is there a fundamental requirement , notably with regard to this precise problem of the esb .
our group asks for the immediate interdiction of the flours of meat and bone for all animals of raising , won't be able to guarantee the setting up of laws as a long time that the étatses members concerning the prevention of the esb and the rigorous application of the european instructions .
i don't know if it is the panacea , mr. commissioner , but in the name of the principle of precaution , he/it seems me that the experience imposes to forbid since today the animal flour use in the food of all raising animals , including pigs , poultries and fishes .
i believe that the debate that is started itself in our assembly , that consists in searching for that , the council , the commission or the assembly , made the more or the less , appears me a little superfluous .
first , others told it before me , it is necessary to practice a systematic tracking on all dejected bovines destined to the food of the europeans .
while showing evidence of courage and ambition , we will be able to conjugate the sanitary interest of the europeans and the interest economic of our producers and us will be able to re-establish the confidence thus .
they are not , i insist , in nothing persons responsible of the crisis. it is why the european union should show its solidarity to their consideration .
i don't accept either the arrogance of some états members that , not practicing the tests , don't ask for regimentation .
the european solidarity must also play because our politics showed its incoherences: fallows , animal flours for the ruminants , nitrates , pesticides .
and has that i must hear mr. gollnisch to say that his/her/its parliamentary group was to the forefront of the fight in the crisis of the esb .
besides , we consider appropriate to make so that all home of infection is circumscribed and that the export of meats is forbidden until their healthy character is proven .
it is inadmissible that we accepted this priority insufficiently in the political domain .
i am happy to see that we always consider the extension of the tests on a voluntary basis .
but if we generalize the tests of tracking , if we destroy the animal flours , if we impose the slaughtering of the whole herd for only one sick animal , we must require strictly equivalent sanitary norms on behalf of the countries third that are our commercial partners and that look for to export toward the community the living animals , the carcasses , the flesh-colored preparations .
the reasons of the problem are elsewhere .
mrs. chairwoman , i am happy that the commission was finally pronounced vigorously in favor of tests of tracking generalized. because , as france has just shown it: who looks for finds!
what stops us then from acting? why does every time need a crisis so that we met here and that we affirmed that the parliament places the public health to the first rank of the priorities?
the tie between the esb and the food to basis of animal flours , a manner very little natural to feed the animals of the rest , is now clear for everybody .
i ask the european commission therefore to arrive also to a certain harmonization on this point .
i invite the commission to review the systems completely put in place in france to treat the cases of esb .
poison enters in the system that it ends up destroying .
it is also certainly difficult to make cohabit , on the subject , of the national legislations and an european legislation .
another parapet has been raised in the system to protect the public health and the food security under the shape of a legislation that defines the modes of manufacture of the animal flours .
one said that they were going to be very costly , that they were going to concern a big number of carcasses , etc .
as an example , one will mention the technique of the pillow that caused an immigrant's death in belgium , the powerful sedative use in spain , the transportation of immigrants massaged in holds of boats in italy and in spain , the tragedy of the 58 chinese immigrants recovered deaths in united kingdom in the harbor of dover after have been stopped to various resumptions on the european territory and use generalized of different means of constraint and intimidation in opposition to the outcast immigrants .
such is my engagement and i answer some in what concerns me .
the violence against the women dons several shapes: there is the violence within the family , who is the crime of the silence , him there also the shapes of sexual exploitation , the bill of the women , the human being traffic .
mr. president , i would tell m. nogueira that , evidently , in the model that we defined , the monetary politics is the spring of the european central bank and this last takes some decisions according to the criterias established in the treaty .
mr. president , i think that for the public opinion , it is very important to make the distinction between the internal impact and the external impact. would i like to know if the commission now considers , just before the physical introduction of the euro , to throw an action in order to explain to the population the difference between the internal and external impacts of the monetary stability?
in the absence of concrete actions of the greek government , she/it will already pursue the procedure committed .
the role of the commission is to assure the existence of a system of surveillance and measure .
in the same decision , the commission had committed to review the regimes of help in all étatses members , while being based on these specific criterias of compatibility approved until 2004 , date to which will exhale the validity of the authorization of the french regime of support .
the realization of an europe that encourages the integration , under the terms of the european council of lisboa , require an effort and a general action .
secondly , while permitting to take better in account the experience of the land actors , of the ngo , the local collectivities , the social organisms and people that are themselves in situation of exclusion .
numerous aged people could confirm it , as well as all those that work for hours for low wages not assuring them a decent life - i think for example about the farm workers .
it can also be about groups of population imports that don't master the language sufficiently to get an use .
to the united states , with a suppler job market , one has the guarantee that poverty is lived during a lot shorter periods , with one very brief unemployment time .
in my country , about 75% of people that work and that live below the poverty line are women .
we must try then to achieve , was not that than in part , this engagement .
this endowment should be reinforced considering the evolution and the realism that impose themselves on the subject .
mr. president , i thank and congratulate mrs. figueiredo as well as the deputies today absent that returned the other parliamentary commission opinions .
as you suggest it , it is necessary to underline the importance of the ngo as well as the regional and local actors also and - as you suggest it - better to take into account their experience on the land .
we already agreed that the social protective committee would meet regularly with the group of contact composed of deputies of the european parliament .
the agenda calls the report (a5-0320 / 2000) of mrs. rothe , in the name of the commission of the industry , the outside trade , research and the energy , on the proposition of guideline of the european parliament and the relative council to the promotion of electricity produced from renewable sources of energy on the home market of electricity (com (2000) 279 - c5-0281 / 2000 - 2000 / 0116 (cod)) .
we have need from now on of coercive objectives .
another essential point approved by the commission is the problematic of the connection and the access to the network for the renewable energies .
in my country , spain , these leading lines would be concretely , responsible for the broadcast in the atmosphere of 225 billions of tons of supplementary co2s of here to 2010 and because we could not reach the objectives of kyoto .
mr. president , mrs. commissioner , dear colleagues , we can only applaud the proposition of the commission aiming to create a setting permitting a medium-term sensitive growth of the electricity proportion produced from renewable sources of energy within the european union .
but the threat can always come from compatibility with the internal market .
the garbage don't constitute a renewable natural resource , even though one produces every day of it more and more .
from then on , this guideline acquires an involuntary actuality .
it being said , i sustain this proposition heartily .
mr. president , i am anxious to thank mrs. rothe for his/her/its excellent report , that falls indeed to pick in this week where we struggle in the crisis of the climatic change .
the promotion of electricity produced from renewable sources of energy is an objective that it is necessary to sustain without reserves .
some radical technological adaptations are indispensable .
instead of it , some propositions are presented bit by bit and without big consistency .
and i would like to finish merely while evoking three problems that appeared to all along this debate .
otherwise , in a worry of consistency , the objectives cities translated in national parameters must be coercive bus in the contrary case , the guideline would lack content and substance .
it is also the case , for the same reason , of the amendment 3 , in part , but not of the amendment 7 , that is too technique for the text of the proposition .
but , ladies and gentlemen the deputies , we cannot accept the parts that prejudge the application of the norms on the helps of état .
the agenda calls the report (a5-0308 / 2000) of mrs. theorin , in the name of the commission of the rights of the woman and the equality of the odds , on the involvement of the women to the pacific regulation of the conflicts (2000 / 2025 (ini)) .
whereas the formal peace processes are nearly exclusively reserved to the men , the experiences and the declarations collected on the international plan show to what point the involvement of the women is important when it is about solving some conflicts and to construct the peace .
the decisions on the execution and the setting in uvre of the humanitarian actions is a matter for the responsibility of the crisis cells; however , the expertise of the women meet little attention and recognition there .
these want to preserve their position obviously by force concerning foreign politics and defense and estimate that the interests of the women can be defended well by men .
mr. president , i would like to say all the interest that i carry to this report , of which i would like to underline the excellence , the big excellence , first even .
in the same way , the financial resources permitting to help the women victims of this situation must exist .
mr. president , a lot of things have already been said and me yours not to pour in the repetitions .
mr. president , mrs. commissioner , i would like to congratulate mrs. theorin first of all on to have taken the initiative of this excellent report , that is about an important question , but also of actuality: how an efficient involvement of the women to the negotiations aiming to solve the conflicts can she/it change the world and can transform the dominant culture of the antagonism and the violence in culture the peace , the dialogue and the democratic regulation of the disputes?
it is why i sustain the demands of the report , of after which the women should benefit from a diplomatic influence right .
a report very documented , deep , rigorous , capable to express essential principles with the clarity that is present in the article 17 , daring but at a time with a big practicality and the very necessary propositions .
for my part , i would condemn all shapes of rape and all shapes of slavery!
fifth , the role played by echo , the agency of humanitarian help of the european commission; the parliament invited it to take also in consideration the sexospécificités .
the problem is the next one: of the millions of people (essentially of the women) do this work; a very strong demand exists but not the least applicable regularization in this domain .
i think that it is necessary to incite the étatses members to regulate the sector via instructions on the use , in accordance with that for that has already been asked in the opinion of the relative european parliament to these instructions .
the migrating population generally represents a collective important of this sector , what requires the special measures , like centers of specialized welcome , loaded to provide the necessary aid .
it is there about a question that concerns the étatses members .
the needs concerning domestic help increased these last years considerably; however , this situation has not been taken practically in general in consideration in the professional life and in the rights and liabilities connected at the professional life .
(the sitting is raised at 24 o'clock)
(very quick applause)
not only we should create an internal system of peace and liberty , but we have to also reconcile it with the customs that exist since decades within the european community and the european union .
the first stage to clear in order to restructure the constitution of the federal état consists in defining a setting auspicious to a possible largest democratic dialogue about the type of relations that unites the two republics .
the reached result is historic. you , the european deputies , who represent the citizens of the étatses members of the union , you that represent the european citizens , directly are better the placed to understand why the simple possibility to become member of the european union is extremely uncertain to the eyes of the citizens of the present federal republic of yugoslavia .
let's take the sitting .
it is about , as you know it , of an extremely important business and the highest interest for the citizens and it would be the least of the things that we can stop a decision today to this topic at the time of the hour of the votes .
the commission made known then that it would present a concrete proposition on this matter in the six months , and it kept word .
a practice already exists at the present time in the european union concerning access of the public to the documents , and it is not necessary to forget that of the courageous citizens and many étatses progressive members fight for years for a bigger transparency .
this report asks to be perfected at the european parliament again and it is why i believe that it will be necessary to bring more there improvement here same .
we are happy to recover in this report the important principle that we also sustain decidedly as commission of the budgetary control .
the opportunity is offered them henceforth to know the things that are not carried to their knowledge by the medias and some groupings of interests better so that they will be able to participate more in the open and democratic debate , that constitutes an element so important to guarantee the confidence towards the eu .
the commission of the petitions would like that one shortened the delays of waiting before the publication of the documents .
as soon as the secret is not justified anymore , the document should become naturally accessible to the public .
i would like to underline also that all citizens should have the guarantee to be able to reach the documents under as many shapes as possible .
the dogma of the political responsibility must not be confounded with the rights of the citizens concerning access to the documents .
i would wish to throw a call therefore to the reporters in order to suppress in the regimentation treating the access of the public to the documents all reference to the rights of the deputies. otherwise , i want to invite all my colleagues to look after what their interests don't prevail over those of the public .
in these sectors , the access to the documents is not guaranteed and it is refused , not only to the citizens , but even to the european parliament that , on the other hand , is not even nor officially aware consulted on the fundamental documents .
he/it subsists an important tip of bitterness however .
mr. president , permit me in the first place to thank mr. cashman for the quality of work achieved in the setting of his/her/its report .
we have business to a very important report , that represents a major part of that that we could call the new principle of transparency of the european union .
(technical problem)
it is not solely about encouraging the unlimited access principle to all documents , but also to succeed in opening the doors at the time of the sittings of the council , so that this last doesn't take its decisions more in the future in the silence and the secret , what allows others then to practice the inexpensive disparagement with regard to brussels .
i would like to evoke work then having carried on the derogations .
our population sees europe as being non democratic , like a place where one takes some decisions behind closed doors .
in accordance with the article 255 of the treaty , the proposed regulation must be adopted before may 1st , 2001 , that means two years after the entry in force of the treaty of amsterdam .
now , permit me to approach some problems that , for the hour , stop the commission from accepting some amendments .
as i underlined it previously , we can , in some cases , to be okay , in principle , with the amendments , but we must work together on the technical and administrative plan , for example , with regard to the relative amendments to the ordering of the documents and to the register .
we don't have a no document writes and i would like that , for the future also , the diffuse commission to the deputies , in writing , his/her/its recommendations .
wishes of welcome
we are pleased of the improven statute granted to the attenuation of the credit risks , especially of the guarantees that can be offered by the small enterprises .
report (a5-0321 / 2000) of m. blokland on the common project , approved by the committee of conciliation , of guideline of the european parliament and the council on the incineration of the garbage [c5-0371 / 2000 - 1998 / 0289 (cod)]
mr. president , can i ask the liberal group , and do i ask also for it as co - reporter , to appear a little more convenient?
the plotting of the vote to november ii corresponds therefore to a seen common in the ppes groups of and pse .
i propose to postpone the vote on the villiers report to november ii therefore .
i followed the order that has been transmitted me by the service of the acts of the plenary sitting and the assembly didn't decide some otherwise .
as president of sitting , today , i must not tell you that it; as colleague , i can tell you that i agree with you .
besides the negative position adopted during the first phase , when the european parliament denounced the dangers of it in britain , and in the second phase , when the scandal raged in britain , the measures have in fact been limited to this country , without is put in uvre a direct program of stern controls and restructuring of raising to the european level .
it is why we want to pull four big lessons , of which it will be necessary to take account in the future .
. we voted in favor of this common resolution .
the multiplication of the number of case of the variant of the illness of creutzfeld-jakob in england and the situation in france imposed on the agenda , with by force , the question of the " mad " cow (esb) .
by fear to spread panic at the citizens , or by worry to avoid some disasters commercial , certain governments didn't transmit the information in due time due to the commission or didn't proceed , since the first dangerous phenomenon demonstration , to the immediate blockage of the consumption of the products in question and to the interdiction of their export .
the agriculturists cannot face this crisis only: a plan of raising accompaniment is to put in place as well as of the measures to reconquer the confidence of the consumers .
the inability of the set of the european processes (council , commission , parliament) to define an applicable communal politics that answers the needs of security of the étatses members the most directly concerned is going to pose problems of hierarchy indeed enters the constraints of the unique market and the requirements of health and security of our populations .
we got , after numerous discussions with the council , satisfaction on several points .
the time of the discharges key today at his/her/its end , these must yield the place to technologies more beneficial to the environment .
to make the processes participate the social entities , notably the sensitive group representatives aimed by the program;
indeed , if we must be pleased of the return of the growth and the decrease of unemployment , we must not overlook the persistence , or even the aggravation , of the inequalities!
i am of opinion that the reporter is right when he pleads for a bigger involvement the public authorities , the social partners and the civil society in the measures to take to defeat poverty and the social exclusion .
the " poor " workers , of which most are women , employees part-time , at a discount and in the most total precariousness , join the cortege of misery that the official speeches on the resumption ignore superbly .
three years ago , the prime minister created the unit of the social exclusion , that coordinates the government's action to reduce the social exclusion while conceiving identical solutions in the same way to problems nature .
it is for the meantime about facilities including more than 60 rotors that cover a surface equivalent to thousands with soccer lands .
the dependence , that is of about 50% for the set of the union , risk to pass to 70% from 2020 in the absence of development of the renewable energies .
he/it is going without saying that the exploitation of the nuclear energy and the radioactive garbage storage must respect orders of security more modern and more efficient .
we must search for a source of energy therefore already present in the nature , but that remained as a long time as no one untapped developed the technique to extract of it to him .
the preparation of the asem 4 must be the opportunity to affirm the democratic requirement , on the one hand , while assuring information and the intervention of the elected assemblies and the civil society - including the setting up of a social forum notably - and , on the other hand , while fully taking in account the social , environmental and human rights .
lately , this parliament was victim of some ambiguous and same of some critical .
we noted that he/it was confronted to the same avatars that the european parliament to his/her/its beginnings , that he/it had to have battled and had to have continued to make it to get more of expertise , more of resources , more of presence and to put forward his/her/its representativeness .
the parliament of central america , like the european parliament , must win in prestige , in credibility and in legitimacy while being based on the activity of his/her/its political groups , because the life of the parties is , or of the less should be , the faithful reflection of the societies that they represent .
with regard to the human rights , we sustain , since 1990 , the programs of cooperation in favor of the respect of the human rights by the slant of the formation and the sensitization in this domain .
(b5-0855 / 2000) of m. van bos den , in the name of the eldr group ,;
the extreme confusion that characterized the electoral context these last weeks in coast - d'ivoire , yet up to here economic model , is symptomatic of a country in crisis , economic crisis , social désespérance and by there , political chaos .
the political , military and religious leaders owe all to put in uvre to permit a national reconciliation .
it is necessary that through the debate on the ivoirité , this smoky debate that is merely the setting up of the national preference that we fight in our own countries , whose logical and ultimate consequence is the setting up of the ethnic purification , is fought completely , and removed all reference or connotation on the ivoirité in the constitution of the ivory coast .
he also sustained the revision of the constitution , destined to exclude his/her/its main objector , watara , because of the fact that his/her/its parents were not all two of the ivory coast .
mr. president , dear colleagues , even though , unlike other étatses of central and western africa , the coast of ivory was once a havre of stability and democracy , this état knows ethnic and religious tensions nevertheless for a long time. he/it also knew abuses of power on behalf of the last government in function under president bédié , what finally entailed a hold of the power assaults by the soldiers .
we condemn the ethnic violences and especially the policy makers whose demagogy drove there .
the agenda calls the common discussion on the following resolution propositions:
the meeting to come between the eu and the anase in laos in december , offer us the ideal opportunity to demonstrate that we condemn this regime vigorously .
i am not , moreover , not non certain that our own ministers would adjust the situation then .
the anase was revealed , in all senses of the word , a tiger of paper in his/her/its failure to face the terrifying events of burma .
the junta declared that it had the intention to try to reduce to nothing the set of the party .
his/her/its past is charged and , evidently , the situation is difficult .
these light improvements - that one doesn't certainly owe to the author of the amendments of the socialist group , mr. sakellariou - had place during these last years and brought to a situation that is not certainly more tragic , but that is always disastrous and that is not anyway at the height of the stakes that is those of the viêt - nam of today .
mr. swoboda , the european parliament is a supple and efficient institution .
he/it would be nevertheless positive that in hanoi , the american president doesn't concentrate solely on the backing of the reciprocal collaboration , but returns it exactly dependent of firm promises , on behalf of the viêt - nam , to improve the miserable situation radically that reigns there concerning the human rights .
i call the council and the commission to protest firmly against these flagrant violations of the cult liberty by the vietnamese authorities .
in the same way , the process permitted the signature of a cooperation agreement between the commission and the viêt - nam in 1995 .
the elements that we introduced were taken of course in this proposition of resolution .
i am perfectly okay with the fact that we must carry them help , but we would help them again better while changing the situation that is the reason of their misery and the one of innumerable other people of by the world .
the topics of which he/it is question concern the means and the long term .
mr. president , mr. commissioner , the floodings that hit these last weeks various regions of the north of italy , as well as of other european countries - britain , spain , ireland and france - pose all over again two problems to this parliament: the one of the exceptional emergency intervention to bring help to people , to the communities and to the concerned enterprises , and the one of a longer-term politics , aiming to warn the repetition of disasters natural of this size .
it is the sector of the transportation that will require the most important measures , considering his/her/its constant development - more of 38% , according to the forecastings , at the time of the next decade .
the debate is closed .
it is part of customs of this parliament maybe , but it appears extremely delicate to me to let believe that the european parliamentary institution takes some engagements on a topic as that one , consider confiding a mission as that one to the european commission with an as weak involvement .
(the parliament rejects the demand)
the politics economic and social of the eu , that drove to the weakening of the spending power and the possibilities of the workers for everything that milked to the remittance of contributions , joined to the new illness apparition and to the pharmaceutical society immunity , provoked a sensitive increase of the health expenses .
for the rest , a very large field is opened thus to the private insurers , to the only condition that they don't select (in the beginning) the patients and the insurance premiums by pathology .
the one that doesn't receive and don't spend a lot of money doesn't count anymore .
mr. president , ladies and gentlemen , i am very happy to be able to express me in presence of a group of visitors coming from my beautiful circumscription and that i greet cordially .
it presupposes however that the establishments have a sufficient delay to get ready to the new rules .
the report makes state of an increasing consensus having the tendency to underline the inability of the present regimentation to take in consideration the evolutions of the financial sector of these last ten years .
we say yes a bigger hold in consideration of the techniques of attenuation of the risk and we say yes to an extension of the basis principles developed by the committee of basel .
in the same way , we are delighted with the important contribution of this report to the whole process .
finally , and it is about a key point , we are absolutely conscious of the necessity to respect the institutional balance established in the treaty .
the vote will take place tomorrow at 9 o'clock .
before finishing , permit me , mr. president , to take advantage of this opportunity to congratulate mr. jacob söderman , to congratulate it for the work that he/it accomplished in the struggle against the bad administration and , leaving , for a better european citizen closeness in relation to the communal institution life .
mr. president , the european parliament always affirmed , of very positive and compliant way to the tradition that is the one of the public function in the nordic countries , that it was necessary to reinforce and to strengthen the mediator's position .
the vote will take place tomorrow at 9 o'clock .
after all , the access to the documentation is a civil law fundamental and no document is not more important for a candidate that the one relative to his/her/its exams .
he/it appeared legitimate to us that a candidate can have access to his/her/its corrected copy , since the access to the documents is besides a fundamental , recognized right by the fundamental right charter that we have just adopted this week .
and this is how it must go .
the example should be followed by all other institutions and organs , as the commission of the petitions recommended it .
the citizens of the european union should have a positive impression when they are confronted to the institutions of the community .
and the novelty , in the circumstance , is to follow the best practices and to avoid everything that , according to our experiences , would affect his/her/its credibility in the étatses members .
with regard to the other institutions , it is of them on that the possibility depends to adopt the procedures described in this report or in the requests of the european mediator .
the minute of the yesterday sitting has been distributed .
if they are prevented by an unavoidable disaster , it is a failure to respect of the democracy. on the other hand , if they don't give themselves the pain to come , they don't deserve to participate in the vote .
the criterias of prudence increased adopted are justified , but it is necessary to consider other aspects of the question also , in particular the coefficient of solvency , that is a parameter of level-headedness by type of counterpart that gives an approximation of the real credit risk in the asset of a bank .
temporary establishment of police's european college (stock)
this police cooperation is fundamental to succeed to the big objective that consists in assuring to the european citizens an elevated security level inside the european space of liberty , security and justice .
the widening of the european union , while spreading the space of free circulation of the citizens , should be accompanied by complementary measures of security and pacific coexistence between the étatses members .
from what i see , the conditions in the french and portuguese jails are very different .
therefore , if you want common norms , you have to first define them , otherwise , you will be confronted to a formation that will be able to take the most varied aspects .
but , thanks to the work of m. posselt , he/it is finally foreseen that the formation of police's staff should also consist of the human rights and defense , all as is currently very adapted the suggestion to create a virtual police college that would exploit the possibilities of internet .
but we are here in strasbourg , in a practically desolate assembly , to hear something of nearly incredible .
it is a good idea and in the european union , where the citizens benefit from the liberty of movement and trade as well as the right to settle , where the travelers of scotland can surrender in sicily or in greece , it is only logical to expect what develops himself a common system aiming to maintain the état of right .
to netherlands , the police is driven to the dédramatisation of the conflicts and to the repressive tolerance , in the setting of which the existence of under - cultures , of ethnic minorities , of the use of churches like shelters for people without legal living statute and the political protest organization is considered like normal social phenomena .
those that believe in the good solutions that they defend must not be afraid to confront them with the solutions of others .
i hope that this college will be a starting point for the future .
it is a good illustration of that that one begins to designate today under the name of europe in networks , an europe that places the nations in direct contact , without maintaining useless superstructures .
most cases of child abduction are treated efficiently and of manner appropriated by the central authorities in all étatses members .
it is necessary to fill this hiatus therefore for reasons with fairness , of realism facing the sociological evolution and equality of the rights and liability of all citizens of the european union .
enter time , we approve this measure and we will be happy to vote in his/her/its favor .
because of our sympathy for the calm objective , we adhere to the proposed measures .
the visit of concerns the people who often make the tour of the world to see a child one day clearly .
the holds of position of the european parliament on the subject , as well as the jurisprudence of the judicial court of the european communities , confirm this approach of the commission .
i know that the fifa already played the watch and waited well too long before answering the formal declaration of the commission given out in 1998 .
he/it is all natural that the european union is represented in the future within the ama by the commissioner charged of the sporty business .
decision of united kingdom to apply a tax to the non british road carriers
it is clear that ireland represents a very small market , but an open market. however , biggest part of that that we buy comes from united kingdom .
in conclusion , this debate to the european parliament is premature , but i greet the fact and the declaration of commissioner vitorino that clearly indicate that the british government has the right to introduce a system of euro - label under the condition to respect the rules and regulations already in force .
mr. president , the contributions and the tolls are evidently sensitive themes and i can confirm it to you in the case of austria where we debate this topic continually and can look continually for the solutions for an optimization of the road traffic .
this system is not discriminatory towards the drivers or road carriers of the other countries of europe to the british driver profit .
that truck driver pays more that of reason for his/her/its label , except if a special payment exists on a basis per diem .
november 22 , that means the very day of the 25th birthday of the king juan carlos coronation , that opened the way to the democracy in spain , one of the high faces of this democracy comes , to his/her/its tour , to pay for his/her/its life his/her/its faith in the liberty , in tolerance and in the respect of the other .
you keep them therefore preciously all .
the position of the european union in these negotiations centered itself on the safeguard of the environmental integrity of the protocol of kyoto in the domains of the change of use of soils and the forestry , on the question of the " absorption " wells , on the tie between the mechanism of kyoto and the action to the national scale , known as " supplémentarité " , and on the conformity .
to prepare this new session , the eu should not reopen the discussions on all questions , but to center itself/themselves on important questions , notably on the mechanisms of " absorption " well , on the " supplémentarité " and on a system of setting in strong conformity .
mr. prescott is now touched under the waterline and we don't know how long he will remain to stream .
last remark: i find that it is a good thing that the commission remained farm on the question of the reduction of the broadcasts , in particular because it is extremely difficult to measure with accurateness the size of the reduction to aim .
the nuclear energy doesn't have any luck to make a come-back .
but we must go farther , in bonn , in may 2001 , while introducing conditions of equality .
it would be necessary to end up finding a compromise at the time of the conference of bonn that will take place in may 2001 .
the challenge that we must raise , concerning the climatic changes , is undoubtedly one of the biggest challenges that waits for us for the xxie century , if we want all one planet where to live in the future .
he/it goes in the same way of the partial inclusion of the carbon wells , as the supplementary forest plantation .
the conference of the hague is going to continue , and you announced it , mrs. commissioner , to us next spring in bonn .
mrs. chairwoman , thank you , mrs. commissioner wallström , for your intervention .
if there is a domain where there was not dissension well , it is the one of the relation between the delegation of the european parliament and the commission .
we cannot take the liberty not to reach okay at the time of the next meeting of the cop6 .
we were very constructive and negotiated until the last minute of the conversations of the hague .
you have the floor , mr. president in exercise of the council .
on the coordination of the social security regimes , on the tax system , on the questions of asylum , visas and immigration , on the commercial negotiations in the domain of the services - very important topic - , some countries have seriousness problems again .
i add that the distribution of the seats to the european parliament was not the object of an agreement again .
to find an agreement that will allow the union to function after new adherences , all those that get ready at the moment actively , is an essential stake for the future of the union and the widened union .
your chairwoman is invited there of course .
he/it will be transmitted , and , we hope for it , naturally , ratified in nice .
you see therefore that the discussions will be very dense in nice .
in an union to 27 étatses members or more , the requirement of the unanimity will simply have the effect of paralyzing the progress in all domain where it will be maintained .
you evoked the question of the joint decision of the european parliament .
(applause)
this challenge is the reunification of our old continent. this challenge is a widening without precedent in term of scale and it is it that nice must prepare us .
mrs. chairwoman , the most important objective of the summit of nice is the widening of the european union and the preparation of the union to this widening .
mrs. chairwoman , mr. president in exercise of the council , mr. the president of the commission , until now , one cannot say that the fifteen covered themselves with glory .
this method is not good .
some propositions are now presented in order to permit that decisions to the majority can be taken in 49 domains .
the decisions to the majority will suppress the right of veto granted to the parliamentary democracies of the étatses members , but it won't make of the eu a parliamentary democracy .
mr. president , europe has need that one directs it , she needs need of clarity , of choice , of dynamism .
the principle of the blackmail to the proclamation doesn't appear us acceptable to the look of the findings of the european council of biarritz , even though it was casual .
yes , we think that the findings of nice should include a declaration inviting the commission to write a guideline centers in this domain .
i will decide on the treaty of nice when i will be able to have noted the results , but i am living an experience a few schizophrénique while hearing the discussions of today .
in amsterdam , they have been failed , and the class must present itself all over again in nice .
if the difference between the big and the small countries are too important to the council , he/it is to fear that the european union doesn't cross , of some years , a serious crisis of legitimacy , since the small countries won't feel anymore at home and that they will be afraid of more power to defend their identity .
the french president and the prime minister seem more preoccupied by their own political future that by the one of europe .
the fact not to integrate the text in the treaty and to subscribe there only on the political plan could give place to important problems of legal interpretation .
on the other hand , i underline the big importance to endow our europe with strong institutions in order to counterbalance an institutional emptiness in relation to the acceleration that took place to the economic level with the euro .
the objectives proclaimed of this revision consist in creating the efficient institutions that are henceforth adequate to a widened europe and , in the same time , to reduce the democratic deficit , that , definitely , exist .
but it is also about the restructuring of the committee 133 himself: to make he a lot more responsible , while looking after what his/her/its agenda and his/her/its findings are accessible and that his/her/its composition is large and open .
mr. president , when i say that the spiny questions landed to nice won't disappear if they are not the object of no agreement at the time of the summit , i don't address the president solely in exercise of the council but also to the set of the governments of the étatses members .
the working of the joint decision procedure during the last two years watch that this procedure operates well .
as would say me that , in a first time , he/it should already be admitted that the domain of the commercial politics will be included in the extension of the qualified majority .
aged of seven years , she/it was forced to escape his/her/its country facing the progress of the red army , concealing itself/themselves in the ditches to avoid the soviet plane fire .
our colleague méndez of vigo has just evoked understandably the charter .
we cannot wait more for some of his/her/its part .
the agreement that becomes clearer from day to day is not certainly the smallest common denominator , it is unfortunately only quite a small , a minuscule common denominator .
mr. president , i would like to thank the parliamentarians first because i find this debate of a big quality .
it is not therefore about the all not to proclaim it , it is not a problem of transparency .
indeed , the system of the egalitarian rotation also concerns the big countries that , at one time , could not have a commissioner , as the other .
i believe that the parliament will be able to note that the european union endowed itself with the improven institutional mechanisms that should permit him to face the continuation of this development of the european union that gathers us all .
the vote will take place tomorrow .
mr. president , permit me to associate me to the declaration of our colleague orden sieve .
i am opposed completely to that that that that it is threatened an invited minister , he/it was turkish .
it goes without saying that we must , within this house of the european democracy , to guarantee the security of all our guests and all those that penetrate under our roof .
the minister of health , under the pretext that the tablets are not harmful and under the slogan " take care of cancer by marijuana " , undermined the human dignity while asking for the liberalization of the drug .
it is at the very least a bad manner , not to say a camouflet , for our parliament , and safe to consider that the european parliamentarians don't have anything to say on the human rights , whereas they have just voted to a very large majority the fundamental right charter , they will be absent of this forum of the european union where , last year , they were numerous to converse with the ngo and the institutions .
we told some enough to this subject .
in actual fact , the european parliament , all as the commission , was of opinion , already before amsterdam , that the ideal would be to have a vice-president of the commission who would take the duplicate role of person responsible of the foreign politics and high representative assuming a responsibility and an obligation particular opposite the council .
as he/it made it before the summit of feira while voting a resolution june 15 , the european parliament , tomorrow , should vote a text that summarizes his/her/its position , on the eve of the council of nice .
the development of an european politics of security and defense constitutes an important raise of the european project and require the clarification of the institutional setting existing therefore .
in nice , the european council should approve several decisions , that i now mention .
for the first debate , in the beginning of the year , the commission will establish a control panel , country by country , for the draining budgetary year , that will show the state of the engagements , of the payments and the amounts remaining to liquidate for the main programs financed by the communal budget and by the fed .
we also worked on the question of the regional cooperation , notion that provoked a certain resistance on behalf of country of this region that doesn't want to be réenfermés in one past of which they left , and i believe to be able to say that , thanks to this summit , they understood that there was not a contradiction between a regional cooperation and their progression , their closeness in relation to the european union , notably through the process of stabilization and association that has been confirmed and specified to this opportunity .
there had been , before , a summit with india , under portuguese presidency and a ministerial meeting will take place with the anase
it is not a reason to discourage us .
i remind you the variety of it: humanitarian help , evacuation of nationals , prevention of conflicts , but as separation by the strength of belligerent parts .
he/it founds , of course , on the autonomy of decision of the european union and on the recognition of the character voluntary and political of the engagements took .
he/it personified more that whoever the resolution of the conflicts in a region of the world that i know well and benefitted from a world recognition justified for his/her/its efforts .
i find extraordinary enough the cover of which benefitted the creation of this strength in the country that i know best .
i would like to thank mrs. lalumière for having put the report forward on the prevention of the conflicts that the commission prepares with the high representative in view of the european council of nice .
thank you very much , mr. commissioner christopher patten .
it will be there , to my sense , the real test for the european union .
some impatient citizens complain that the bureaucratic machine of the union is of an inconceivable slowness .
but the citizens , them also , must have access to information and to the documents in a measure as large as possible .
the present propositions maintain the fuzzy most total as for what should be this role .
with an european flag on your car , you pass everywhere , until in the more disinherited of the camps of refugees .
here is why , mr. president , europe must , to my sense , to decide to act now .
if us , europeans , we don't succeed in playing , independently of the united states , an influential role in the solution of this conflict , it won't be necessary either to expect what one grants us confidence as mediators in other homes of crisis .
it says , your personal engagement doesn't replace the democratic recognition of the common european politics concerning security and defense .
there are some points of the report of mrs. lalumière that i cannot accept. at the time of tomorrow's final vote , i will vote against the report .
the non exploitation of this vast fan of instruments of prevention of the crises will prove to be long-term a mistake and in this respect , the explanations of the council according to which of the resolutions have already been adopted and the things will follow their course , are not sufficient to me!
as you understand it , we vote against the two reports and we commit to unite all our strengths against the politics that they express.. .
third , as olaf palme had suggested it one day , it is necessary to create a hall denuclearized from the baltic to the black sea .
permit me to congratulate mrs. lalumière for his/her/its report .
the brok report also evokes the station of high representative for the pesc .
i deplore the attitude of some of my colleagues - mr. van orden and other - because i think that my counterparts original of the other strand of the sea of ireland have a lot to bring in this file: the tradition , the experience and the practice .
the european parliament , in collaboration with the national parliaments , constitutes to our opinion the process the more indicated to this effect .
i believe that the teachings of these recent events will serve us when we will accept the necessity to elaborate an european defense politics and to put the capacities in place there pertaining , what constitutes according to me a component just as essential of the european integration that the east the unique currency .
i also think that the combination between these different means is a property , is a possibility , specific to the european union and that the work that we have before ourselves , if this politics progresses and strengthen , it is to develop a real european culture of the prevention and the treatment of the conflicts .
i believe that a positive dialogue is going to develop itself .
mr. president , ladies , gentlemen , dear colleagues , the resignation of the commission , in march 1999 , revealed the necessity to reform his/her/its structures and his/her/its methods of work .
the reform , if she/it can be conceived by the top , must be lucid and exposed to the unions , to the set of the staff , and that the set of the staff is associated to all this gait effectively .
this disposition will ask of the time , but it is unavoidable and essential for the reform .
the reform of the commission is an essential act for the future of our institutions .
while writing my report , i could not only study the white book , but also the second report of the committee of the independent experts as well as the resolution adopted by this parliament last january 19 , proposed by michiel hulten sieve , on work of the aforesaid committee of the experts .
the court of the accounts signals in his/her/its opinion that it doesn't oppose the suppression of the previous visa , as far as this method is replaced by other procedures that offer some guarantees , at least equivalent , and that some actors different of the financial intervening party can be implied .
in all place , the big organizations become more open , more transparent; they resort to new fashions of use of the technologies of information; they depart of the traditional shapes of vertical organization and proceed to an exchange of information , so much to the internal level that with the other organizations .
mr. president , mr. commissioner , my dear colleagues , in spite of his/her/its range , the content of the white book presented by commissioner kinnock doesn't raise an institutional topic directly .
we spoke this afternoon of it besides in the setting of the debate on the common foreign politics .
finally , he/it agrees to approach the spiny problem of the proposition appropriate at the anticipated retirement .
the decentralization of the financial control within every dg is an important step but it will only function if the staff is formed appropriately , if the available resources are sufficient and if the responsibility of the hierarchical settings is applied in an adequate manner .
it is necessary to give to the institution and his/her/its real possibility director to arrive to the best possible management .
with regard to the disciplinary procedure , we also note here a lot of promises but , until now , no rule lucid , no precise declaration on the manner of which these rules must be applied and even the question of the external is not always definitely controlled .
this transformation is indeed necessary to serve god in a faithful way and cannot be inspired by rules .
as for all novelty that modifies the established situations , it is obvious that it is necessary to be attentive .
however , we will withdraw the amendment 6 and will ask for a vote by division on the last part of the amendment 15 because we don't think that the system being in use within the ecb corresponds to the situation .
at the time of my last mandate within this parliament , the president of the commission was jacques delors and he worked in the sides of commissioner brittan and , before him , of commissioner cockfield .
mr. president , gentlemen the commissioners , dear colleagues , it is with a justified waiting that we come with this reform .
of the questions as the crisis of the esb , the blaze of the prices of oil and the greenhouse effect include a strong european dimension .
the public must also have the feeling that the commission is really accessible and transparent .
for the european parliament , the reform is a crucial file on which it can weigh as budgetary and legislative authority .
he/it defines a number important of lucid procedures allowing a civil servant , by different channels , to denounce potential defaults within the institution that uses it or outside of this one .
therefore , i am sure that we will have the pleasure to listen to you in the future .
permit me , mr. garriga polledo , to signal you quickly that the financial perspective categories are maintained .
the reform must be sustained and must be accepted by the staff of the commission .
he/it seems us that a cosmetic reform at the moment of deep change .
mr. president , my dear colleagues , i would like to underline the quality of the report of initiative of mrs. sauquillo first of all concerning the reform of the commission and his/her/its impacts on the efficiency of the relations of the european union with the developing countries .
we want a bigger responsibility .
before speaking of help to projects , it is necessary to try to suppress all reasons of the exploitation , while searching for and while pursuing those that pulled profit , that abused the populations that live in the need of it .
it is precisely because mr. nielson is faithful towards this collegiate responsibility that he will defend this proposition undoubtedly tonight .
he/it seems even more serious than in the proposition of the commission to us , the territorial separation is maintained .
in 2001 for example , the financial responsibilities will be decentralized toward 22 delegations , 15 supplementary delegations will benefit from an updating of their computer facilities and 40 supplementary stations of civil servants will be assigned to the outside services .
maritime security
but the erika , as the ievoli sun , were not french ships .
in fact , this topic occupies the summit of the agenda of the commission since the wreck fatal of the erika 11 months ago .
we hope that the council " transportation " of december 21 will bring its stone in the building of the common determination of the european institutions to improve the maritime security really , while adopting a common position on the set of the three texts. we expect what it is the case .
i think that we are not some far , but we must insure that this agreement will be applied .
i understand and greet the minister's worry that we finished some as quickly as possible with these two reports , and therefore i judge has positive priori his/her/its proposition aiming to what we debated this question in december .
all it permitted us to elaborate a parliamentary report on the modification of the guideline that proposes various aspect improvements driving to the backing of the system of classification , as means and valid instrument to guarantee the security of the maritime traffic .
nevertheless , the inheritance of the years where the garbage were simply poured are present until our days , and sometimes come back to haunt us , often with serious consequences .
at this end , the publication of information is essential , because it is a vital means for the public to get information , all as the east , among others , the setting up of telephonic numbers of emergency .
i wait for a lot of the second set of propositions and the creation of an european agency of the maritime security .
your reflection seems respectable to me , but we can negotiate solely on results that have been examined to the council .
we know that the control by the état of the harbor didn't make big case of the maritime security. we know that all societies of classification didn't do their technical control in a correct and serious manner , but rather in a botchy manner .
it would not be necessary that the credibility that we try to regain is threatened by bad machinations on behalf of the commission .
who doesn't face these responsibilities must remain out of our waters and our harbors .
the report watts harden the measures against the ships either presenting some risks serious lift pavilion of complaisance , without suppressing these pavilions .
i am delighted nevertheless that the propositions of the commission took the main demands formulated by the elected of the french coastline: interdiction of the tankers to simple cockle , backing of the controls in the harbors , and assessment of the societies of classification .
i also share his/her/its idea of an incitement in order to impose the tape recorders of journey data .
the guarantees of navigability of a ship require important measures as for the responsible societies and to the inspection , has been said like that already .
in short , the measures are optional to bring the security to the wanted level. it is bad for the men .
everybody speaks of it and i find fully justified that the 25% today necessary for this control by the état of the harbor are not reached yet .
the hour is not anymore to simple compromises that of no predict difficult enough besides to achieve .
with regard to the society of classification , i would like to this opportunity - it is also my mission - to underline an important element: the central point of the present discussion seems to carry itself on the responsibility .
with regard to the harbor controls , it is necessary to make the regimentation even sterner .
laxity opposite the big enterprises is well the sign that they are more powerful than the elected institutions .
mr. president , my dear colleagues , the question concerning the security of the ships , and therefore the security of people and the protection of the environment , is definitely of a very big gravity .
the reports that have been presented go in this sense .
we agree with the imposition of a doorstep for the personal prejudices or the death and the material prejudices , while letting to the étatses members the possibility to raise these limits .
the new technologies and the improvements in the conception of the ships play in this domain a role also determining .
it is necessary that we advanced toward a consensus on the highest level possible of regulation and maritime security .
i am happy to be able to announce that the commission will bring its support to many amendments submitted in the setting of these three reports .
the commission can accept the amendments 6 , 7 and 8 but it can only accept partially the amendment 1 .
the omi must normally adopt positively the calendar of relegation at the time of his/her/its meeting of next april .
the task of the commission is as for it to confirm that the society of classification continues to answer the criterias of quality fixed by the guideline; the commission also does a follow-up of the performances of the societies of classification .
the commission appreciates the support expressed in favor of the initial limit .
once besides , this accident demonstrates the emergency to adopt the reinforced communal measures , prevention and rehabilitation , for the protection of our seas .
mr. turco , i heard your message well and i am going to wonder there .
here is that is in positive principle. with regard to the two other reports , otherwise said the report on the societies of classification and the report on the harbor controls , there are some divergent points of view , and the parliament is the one that has the most rigorous approach on most questions .
mrs. chairwoman , i would like to submit a proposition in order to modify the amendment in this sense , so that he/it starts with these words: " urges in this respect , the council and the commission " .
report (a5-0329 / 2000) of m. pomés ruiz , in the name of the commission of the budgetary control , on the white book on the reform of the commission (the aspects that concern the commission of the budgetary control) (com (2000) 0200 - c5-0445 / 2000 - 2000 / 2215 (co))
mckenna report (a5-0336 / 2000)
the impunity of the capital is reinforced by the privatization of the societies of classification , passed to the hands of the shipowners , and by the non-existence of a real control on behalf of the national authorities , or even by the complicity of these last .
it is why he/it is positive that the reporters watts , vachetta and piétrasantas tempted to fill the hiatuses subsisting again in the proposition of the commission .
the responsibility in the setting up of these measures rests thus on the étatses members .
the tankers monoshell cannot continue to sail here if , elsewhere , they disappear after 2005 , 2010 or 2015 .
however , mr. hatzidakis makes the propositions that restrict those of the commission .
the promotion of a stricter regimentation to the international level must remain an objective fundamental of our maritime security politics .
it is especially important to underline that the principle that consists in making pay for the pollutant should be applied completely .
this communal action must be doubled of a reactivation of the omi that , endowed a real to can police to make apply the ism code , would be an efficient instrument , to the picture of europol .
so much that expenses of the transgression of the rules will be lower to those of the respect of these , the enterprises anxious to store a maximum profit will want to continue to make the bad choice .
preparation of the council of nice
instead of pulling the human rights and the social rights upwards , the charter will facilitate the operations destined to pull them downwards .
alas , this notion seems me quite absentee of the resolution propositions .
so , as many , i sometimes regretted that the prime minister , lionel jospin , expressed himself/itself little during this semester " because of cohabitation " , i know the strong impulses that he gave permanently to his/her/its ministers and i want to say it .
as for the social domain , the propositions are very shy and don't bring either of efficient content to the engagements contracted at the time of the summit of lisboa , notably as for the necessity to reinforce the economic and social cohesion .
it is why no decision on the development of the eu should be taken if it risks to move away the citizens of europe .
the british want a reform that makes europe more responsible and more efficient .
this text takes pretext of the future (and more and more far) widening to ask already for the backing of a system at the end of breath .
now , the cloth doesn't only burn between the " big " and the " small " , it also burns between the " big " .
. (sv) we estimate welcome this report , that evokes numerous essential tendencies of the evolution of the foreign politics and common security , and we sustain it .
as every year , this ritual report of the european parliament , dedicated in principle to the yearly balance of the pesc , takes makes the method of it very known of the progressive slips that consist , from a breach of federalist nature , gotten in a given domain , to try constantly to widen it , to the contempt of the treaties as european council decisions .
while chatting with me , he/it heard that one is organizing a military strength of the étatses of europe , a strength ready to intervene to maintain the peace in europe and in his/her/its vicinities .
on the other hand , he/it is not incumbent upon the european parliament to define the capacity of which should arrange an european strength of intervention and if , to this subject , the capacity of intervention must be maritime and aerial .
the conflicts that will occur in the future won't be solved by military interventions , but by the slant of a politics aiming to the social , economic and ecological justice .
we are opposed radically to this european army , all as to the nato and to our own national army .
formulations carrying , for example , on the pesc and the nato , appear me to go a lot too far , when he/it is question to use the " threat of the employment of strength " like means of pressure in the actions of prevention of the conflicts , what infringes directly to the united nation charter .
ten years after the distresses that shook europe of the east , the " european project of peace " of which speaks these reports constitutes , according to us , a bad signal thrown to the countries candidates .
only six of these paragraphs contain the passages approaching the topic .
unfortunately , one of the very clear goals is to go beyond the national laws on abortion or even to condemn or to suppress the religious traditions opposed to abortion .
if they were informed some , several score of thousands of women concerned living in the european union would be probably happy to learn that we bend at home today on a relative regimentation to work in the casual economy .
mrs. smet proposes notably that one established an european definition of the domestic work .
the needs in domestic work should be taken in consideration at the time of the relative legislation development to the use .
they poured their contributions of retirement to the various national governments , which made them disappear nimbly as clever illusionist .
finally , the group union for europe of the nations recalls with strength that the citizens of the european union wait more than ever that the measures of reform and the recruitments result in the hold in consideration of the diversity of the opinions and convictions that expresses themselves in our countries .
with regard to the human resources , the merit of the agents and a bigger transparency concerning politics of the staff must become in general the strong points of the new administrative reform .
on the occasion of this declaration of vote , i am anxious to insist and to underline the fact that our parliament doesn't have all powers that it should have unfortunately .
i wish to finish to the title of procedure motion .
indeed , mr. barón crespo , news are contradictory .
it is not a wish of the socialist group .
it is precisely the reason for which we are in difficulty: it is an important summit and everything that we will say will hire us .
i must signal that the commission will meet tomorrow afternoon to , above all , to try to really understand the findings of the intergovernmental conference .
(the parliament marks its agreement on the proposition)
i would be you thankful to welcome this request favorably .
and i am anxious to denounce the following fact: here are few days , one of those that observes a hunger strike in support to the convicts to been murdered in rotterdam by a commando of " timber wolf " .
this would not have been evidently necessary if the council had granted in last june a more sustained attention - or his/her/its attention , simply - to our recommendation for the first reading and to the proposition modified of the european commission , that abounded in our sense .
third , we must determine if the arrangements that we approve will contribute effectively to improve the working of the home market and if they are proportional to the aimed objective .
the second preoccupation , of nature cleanly legal , incited us on the other hand to make even narrower the interdependence between the harmonization of the market and the protection of health , as following the indications ensuing of the motives on the basis of which the judicial court scrupulously annulled the guideline lately on the advertisement; only a biased reading of these incentives can bring to the conclusion that these two aspects are incompatible .
mr. president , dear colleagues , 80 cases deadly of the new variant of the illness of creutzfeld-jakob in europe and europe , his/her/its council of ministers , the commission , the parliament decides to forbid the animal flours and the non entry of the bufs aged of more than thirty months in the food chain without previous test .
we estimate that it is normal that the article 95 constitutes the legal basis of this guideline , with the article 133 , that the commission the environment , the public health and the politics of the consumers now proposes in the amendment 1 .
according to the court , a total interdiction of the advertisement on tobacco cannot justify itself in the name of the good working of the home market .
with regard to the mentions as " to weak content in tar " , mild " and " light " , i remain persuaded that they are misleading and i am opposed from then on to the amendments 10 and 30 .
i would like to speak also of obligation in the treaties .
the reporter , mr. maaten , proposed , with common sense , to reinforce this legal basis with a reference to another article , the relative article 133 to the outside trade , and has besides proposed a set of modifications of some articles in order to avoid that this guideline is contested according to the jurisprudence established by the stop of the judicial court .
i regret that to the very breast of the legal commission and the home market , some took position while affirming that the refusal of the judicial court concerning the interdiction of the advertisement on the products of tobacco annihilates this guideline in a way .
indeed , as member of the commission the environment , the public health and the politics of the consumers , i had the attention firmly attracted by various groups of pressure on the necessity to regulate the presentation and the sale of the tobacco products more strictly in europe .
yet , and it is there the roof , i don't see in this guideline any disposition aiming to forbid the culture of tobacco within the community - even if in countries as greece , the cultivated tobacco is so strong that to the terms of this guideline , it would be criminal to use it for the production .
he/it also agrees to thank mr. byrne for the clarity with which he/it explained the legal basis .
more of a half million of people die uselessly each year in the union of the consequences of the tobacco addiction , and this number is vowed to increase if we don't now take some measures .
to my sense , this legal basis doesn't agree at all either , it is why it is justified that the unions , that the enterprises and that my colleagues evoke to this topic the losses of jobs .
i would like to see to adopt the option of warning by the photos , the terms foreseeing the advertisement of the lists of ingredients , research to the european level , the measures of health promotion to help the children to not to smoke and to not to be dependent of tobacco , tar , and the nicotine .
this disposition to the compromise was also present within the commission the environment , the public health and the politics of the consumers .
according to my reading of the amendment , the exemption would apply to the article 3 , that means the contents in tar , nicotine and carbon monoxide .
but considering the general nature of the guideline , we cannot separate one of the other , and we must show evidence of severity therefore everywhere .
the creation of warnings of a maximal size for some big packets would be a balanced solution .
finally , 54 amendments to the total have been submitted in the report , and i have the pleasure to inform you that the commission can accept 33 of them , either completely , either partially .
the main argument in favor of these amendments and a report at the end of one period of five years key actually to the widening of the european union , that that , in the stride of the summit of nice , is especially applicable and suitable .
the hour of summer seems to go together finally with a quality of life increased , the effects positive of the period of the hour of summer prevailing extensively over the temporary unrests bound to the very change .
the hour of summer doesn't constitute the essential stumbling block for our common home , europe .
an unique control by the commission after five years is sufficient .
we must also take in consideration the requirements to which are confronted the producers of computers and electronic tachographs , as well as of calendars and diaries .
mrs. chairwoman , mr. commissioner , dear colleagues , the medical research , necessary for the patients , must be approved in a fast and non bureaucratic manner , while being careful however to respect ethical limits scrupulously and while protecting to the maximum the participants in a test clinic against the abuses .
it is about an important distinction that we make in our report .
thus , even though some points of faction with the council stay , i would like to recall that the result that we try to get by the adoption of this guideline , is the fruit of a long and fruitful work of compromise achieved by m. liese , our reporter , that i thank and congratulate for his/her/its gait participative and constructive and by the council that declared cooperative and open to the amendments that the commission of the environment adopted in second reading .
i think notably of research in the setting of the struggle against cancer , but there are others well .
unfortunately , in spite of the measures taken in this domain , new threats and new affections are themselves daylight and , well often , the existing medicines are not sufficient to cope. it is incumbent upon the medical community to search for modern and more efficient means to answer these challenges .
the vote will take place tomorrow at 12 hs 30 .
what has been agreed with the council and the commission and , naturally , with the commission of the environment of the parliament , not to have any second reading and to be able to pursue without shocks these programs while avoiding all hiatus , consist in extending of two years the four programs , as the commission asked for it , but to allocate the credits per year in such a way that , if , in the interval , the new program concerning health is adopted and between in force , the prolongation and the use of the credits for the second year are not necessary .
in a general manner , he/it is big time that the countries members agree to let to the european union , and on a lawfully supranational question , a bigger margin of manuvre and a budget otherwise consequent: the illnesses , them , don't know the borders .
international organizations as europol estimate that the imports of drug in the european union are made of it in increase .
the public health is a national politics and must remain it .
the agenda calls the debate on the report (a5-0355 / 2000) of mrs. cerdeira morterero , in the name of the commission of the liberties and right the citizens , the justice and state affairs , on the initiative of the portuguese republic in view of the adoption of a decision center relative to the statute of the victims in the setting of the penal procedures (9650 / 2000 - c5-0392 / 2000 - 2000 / 0813 (cns)) .
another international initiative is the declaration of the nations united on the principles fundamental of justice relative to the victims of criminality and to the victims of power abuse , adopted according to the resolution 40 / 34 of the general assembly of the united nations , november 29 , 1985 .
you remember proceedings maybe on the report di pietro that took place there are some times within this assembly .
this initiative concerns three fundamental aspects: the victim's right to information , the access to the justice and the right to the indemnification for the caused damages .
the most meaningful aspect resides however , according to me , in the fact that one finally becomes aware , to the level of the union also , of the necessity to modify the point of view by which one considers the intervention of the état opposite the offenses .
the étatses members should be forced to create some special units of police for the victims of crimes .
italy asked for several times this man's extradition , that committed various homicides , to france , country where lojacono circulates freely , and this so that he can finally purge his/her/its pain .
concerning criminality , the victim must always be placed in the center of the preoccupations .
as you noticed it , the project of decision centers contains three different measure types: first of all , he/it stops minimal rules concerning the rights of the victims; secondly , he/it stops the specific rules whose objective is to take in consideration the individual situation of the victims of infringements in a état member that is not their état of origin; third , it encourages the étatses to elaborate measures of help to the victims .
she/it already works to sustain the especially setting in network to the european level of the national services of help to the victims , in order to guarantee an adequate treatment to the victims , to those that don't reside in the country where the infringement took place .
approval of the minute of the previous sitting
mr. varela , president of the commission of the fishing , competent on the bottom , has the floor again .
hey well bravo!
during the trilogue of last tuesday , we brought a last retouching again to the common declaration of the council and the parliament .
we arrived thus to a solution for the budget 2001 .
we must lead an internal reflection on the manner of which , in the domain of the promotion politics , we will transform the present requirements in a transparent procedure .
we asked for the name of this island and one answered us: " it is the unmentionable " .
the council proceeded therefore to his/her/its second reading of the budget while taking account of the agreements concluded with the delegation of the parliament , with the constant worry to vote a budget permitting to finance all priorities of the european and corresponding union to the real needs and to the real capacity of execution of the credits .
the third element important of this second reading of the council concerns the agreement intervened on the endowment of the program " mind of enterprise " that pursues and complete the program " initiative use " for the years 2001 to 2005 .
in a more general manner , i would like to underline that the budgetary procedure that is going to end in some days showed all the interest of the agreement interinstitutionnel of may 6 , 1999 .
the discussions were sometimes tightened , but they were always applicable and founded on permanent exchanges , that permitted to understand us better mutually and , therefore , to find an agreement more easily , that i hope satisfactory for all .
it is primordial that no country of the region of balkan receives now - because of democratization in progress in serbia - less help than what had been foreseen before the last events in this country .
in fact , the repeated use , two years in succession , the instrument of flexibility can be considered , to wrong in my opinion , like a shape of revision of the financial perspectives .
the council declared us today that it is ready to increase the payments of 3 ,5% .
i especially thank the council and the commission for this decision .
mr. president , i would like to thank mrs. haug also for the excellent work that she/it accomplished .
i have the impression that , to say it merely , flexibility , it is for the small amounts and the revision , for the important amounts , but we will see these next years how it will evolve .
we are now in the situation to decide if we can approve or no the budget next thursday. we must to examine this budget closely therefore evidently .
but the agreements interinstitutionnels between the three institutions is also a very important. they should offer us a common security concerning scheduling .
the increasing problems especially refer out of work , to the crisis of the esb and to the pact of stability in balkan .
mrs. chairwoman , ladies and gentlemen the european parliamentarians , i am very happy to be among you today to present you the balance of the french presidency of the union and also to measure the progress accomplished during these last months .
we had promised it: there is not hang-over of nice .
he/it concerns the reinforced cooperation procedure that has been facilitated extensively in the first and third pillars .
it is at a time an immense challenge and also a historic stage toward the reunification of our continent .
thanks to this charter our union reinforces itself , better assured of the values of dignity , liberty and solidarity that found it .
and a few weeks ago , it is the chimiquier , ievolu sun , that got damaged close to the anglo-norman islands .
we had set of the objectives , they have been reached .
mrs. chairwoman , ladies and gentlemen the european parliamentarians , this semester , i believe to be able to say it today , saw our union reinforcing itself/themselves while getting ready to welcome new members , to unite the family now that we are assured to be able to function together; to reinforce itself/themselves also in the cur of our fellow citizen on the land of the values , the one of the growth and the use , the one of solidarity , the one of the security and the preservation of the european social model; to reinforce itself/themselves and to win in audience on the international stage .
(applause)
it was unavoidable considering the consistent approach , but the result is some of as much more disappointing: on the one hand , because he/it results to making the qualified majority more difficult to reach , and therefore the easier blockage , whereas the logic should have been the exact opposite in an union enlarging;
(applause)
in the same time , the declaration on the widening - that is positive - stipulates that the countries candidates will be able to adhere to the union at the end of the year 2002 , and the chiefs of government of the countries who negotiate currently applauded nice. it is necessary to take a thing however in consideration: it is as when a child invites her friends to a birthday and that he doesn't know if he has enough place at home and if there is money for the snack .
the ambition of nice was the most important european ambition of a summit meeting since numerous years .
mrs. chairwoman , mr. the president of republic , mr. the president of the commission , dear colleagues , the judgment of my group is little stern for the fifteen on the following day of the spectacle inviting that they offered the europeans , purified presumably to measure to this opportunity and in direct that that it in is really the common vision , of the mind of solidarity , of the mutual confidence of the main european leaders .
for all lucid mind , they are very serious consequence annonciateurs to which driven us the project of federal europe to 27 or 28 étatses members .
you will also allow me , mr. president , to underline that after nice , france appears to a new time as curiously losing .
mrs. chairwoman , mr. president , the europe group of the democracies and differences regrets that the presidency didn't follow up on the message that had been addressed him since last july .
greatly doesn't see the finish line toward which the european union must bring them again .
there is a limit that must be appreciated therefore also .
i believe that they don't only reflect the opinion of these three groups , but also the one of the other groups , that could not sign them for technical motives .
so it is desirable to promote the development of medicines in the community because so it is possible to bring to the patients of the odds increased to benefit from effective treatments .
i congratulate my colleague mary honeyball of his/her/its first report for the european parliament .
to our big astonishment , mr. fatuzzo has the floor , and i am impatient to know what pensioner he met and what he told him!
the victim must be treated as no one having to face a situation of bewilderment and distress - factors that are probably again sharper if the person is victim in another état member that his .
the agenda calls the continuation of the common discussion on:
he/it was losing hope to see to concentrate proceedings on the question to know to that a voice besides or a voice of less , that would win germany or france , of netherlands or belgium , portugal or spain .
we are delighted that a new method is put in place and we hope that , behind this hope , that is written with the reinforced cooperation possibility , europe will continue to advance , that she will be capable to elaborate for tomorrow a constitution that gives back to our fellow citizen the hope in this great project that is the european adventure .
the future états members that get ready to the adherence will follow the example of selfishness given by the étatses present members .
some are pleased about it more that of others , but the message of basis is clear: europe can be united henceforth within a democratic and widened european union , that will be , thanks to the treaty of nice , close to the citizens .
the particular interests dominate .
while finding an agreement in extremis on the treaty , one avoided an open crisis that would have put back the widening in question , but one can speak of a latent crisis that it is necessary to adjust now .
i don't believe that it is more realistic to fight to reaffirm his/her/its own national prestige that for the efficiency of the working of the union and i don't believe that the european citizens mobilized themselves in mass to follow the manuvres of flibusterie led to nice by their governing .
and what beautiful project , all the same , eleven years after the fall of the wall of berlin!
at the time , they had to have made it for the half of europe , and now we must make it for the entire europe .
the institutional obstacle won't be able to be invoked more after nice .
first , the institutional unbalance: many for the council and little for the commission and the parliament .
this method made its time .
the consequences for europe would have been absolutely incalculable of it .
for example , you know that to the beginning of the european union , the minority of blockage could unite what one calls two " big " countries , and today it is necessary three of them .
the poles are put , the widening is possible , the european parliament will have its place in the debate , in the deepening of the tracks and ideas .
the european public property , of which no one is depository - mr. moscovici is right on this point - cannot found on the national interest addition that crosses themselves and neutralize and , in this sense , prime minister verhofstadt , had a beneficial message in this respect .
we recommended their ratification .
personally , i think that the repondération of the votes must take account of the population , like the european parliament , and would have had to make itself/themselves also within the council .
but nice , mr. president , is not the tip of path , but well the starting point of a new stage including many challenges .
i would like to come back to what has already been evoked several times here , today .
if he/it seems indeed that one succeeded in avoiding the total paralysis of the future widened european union , the ambitions of the french presidency could not be translated in the new project of treaty .
in what concerns me , mr. president , i estimate simply that nice deserves the insufficient mention .
i don't know if the commission will answer at the end of this debate , but i wonder , in the absence of the council , if the commission is just as sure that in 2004 , the european parliament will count the czech , hungarian and polish deputies and the baltic deputies .
we didn't hide the necessity to continue , with the same vigor and the same determination that we had before nice , on the way of the widening to reach our objective , to know the biggest appointment with the history that the parliament and the commission have for the next years .
on the other hand and especially , the problem of the financing of balkan remained whole for the years to come .
i wanted on my turn to congratulate the reporters , the president of the commission of the budgets , the commission , the council and the presidency for the work that has been accomplished , for the conclusion of this agreement that will permit us to vote the budget of the year 2001 .
he/it is also good that have been put to disposition of the small and middle enterprises , that are the main employers of the supplementary means .
in soccer , one would speak of one hopeless match .
precisely because we have a budget and because we arrived to an agreement at the time of the conciliation , let's not imagine that all our problems have been adjusted .
this importance doesn't come of nowhere but of the treaties , although the council sometimes has difficulty recognizing it .
these rules must be accompanied by an engagement of the college of the commissioners toward a distribution just and efficient of the human and material resources for the different policy management , that means that the political priority of the parliament and the priority of management of the commission must coincide .
it is therefore a common duty of europe that to contribute to the security and the regeneration of the environment .
he/it is greatly question of the after - nice .
you are right naturally to come back always from it to this question .
there is not anymore for fear to a military aggression or of an expansion possible of a dictatorial regime .
as there watching well , one notes that russia is located , in the budget , appreciably on a par with morocco , or a few higher , and i don't believe that it is normal .
he/it would be very dangerous that the europeans become dependent of russia on the logistical plan .
and a program like tacis only has an effect very limited in such a context , not to say that it only represents a drop of water in the ocean .
the birthrate lowers , mortality increases and the clean loss of the number of inhabitants is of a million of people per year .
mr. poutine himself , and we would make less well than m. poutine , says that the question of the future statute of the tchétchénie is not the main question .
what becomes russia , his/her/its population , his/her/its society , is indifferent to them .
mr. president , the european union approved these last years several documents that concern russia and that constitute a good basis for narrow relations with republic of russia .
and then , that means the liberty for the people tchétchène?
it will be in a second time about arriving to the respect of the laws. the economic progress also contributing him to this stabilization , the fourth stage consists in bringing features of a civil society .
but it is there about an excellent report that , as the common strategy herself , underline the importance that we grant to the relations - to the strategic partnership - between the european union and russia .
it means that we must concentrate our efforts on key domains as the environment - several deputies spoke of it - , the nuclear security , the enclave of kaliningrad herself and the improvement of the coordination between the different financial resources .
we must avoid the mistake that a deputy evoked earlier , that has been committed in the beginning of the last century , when russia was excluded of the european business after the leninist revolution of 1917. we know that the consequences will be disastrous of it .
as you know it , the council adopted a relative common position to the revision of the guideline 90 / 220 / ec .
therefore , i think that it is on this side that you will be able to find the answer to the questions that you put yourselves .
therefore , i am all ready to propose that this debate takes place: merely , it is necessary to choose the setting of it the more adapted .
i don't have elements of precise enough information allowing me to answer your complementary question .
he/it is not able to nevertheless not to tell us that he/it doesn't have any precise information to this topic!
the council reminds to the honorable parliamentary the findings that it adopted at the time of his/her/its meeting of may 19 , 1998 concerning fraud in the sectors of the alcohol and tobacco .
all étatses members confirmed their will to intensify the struggle against the fraud , so much to the internal level that in their relations .
the european union affirmed the absolute respect that it attaches to the right of asylum repeatedly .
in this respect , the agreement of partnership acp european community signed in cotonou in june 2000 foresees that the community will assure at the latest from 2005 the access exempt of rights for the essential of the products original of the pmas .
i remind you that the presidency is not there to express the opinions of such or such , that it is not about such or such government , but well to express that that are , at one moment " x " , one instant " t " , the positions of the council .
a system of purchase - destruction will be put in place for these non tested bovines , in order to compensate the breeder at the cost of the market .
the french presidency , since the beginning , had like worry to allow an european answer this crisis that is a food crisis , a crisis of society and a sanitary crisis .
in the setting of the process of barcelona , algeria subscribed to a certain number of principles of which the one of the respect of the right état .
- i already had the opportunity , a few weeks ago , to present you some reflections on the preparation of the session extraordinary of the general assembly of the united nations dedicated to the follow-up of the world summit for the children that will take place in september 2001 .
object: liability of turkey in the setting of his/her/its partnership agreement with the european union to the terms of the proposition of the relative commission to the agreement of partnership between the european union and turkey , the council is called to reexamine the situation of the disputes in suspense , taken into consideration the consequences for the process of adherence , notably , in the goal to promote their solution by the interpreter of the international court of justice , this for the end of the year 2004 at the latest .
the council , in the setting of the partnership of which he/it has just spoken us , account him to approach this question with the turkish government?
does one respect the rights of defense , and the mutual recognition will she/it contribute there?
otherwise , he/it belongs to every état member to take the national decision , sovereign , to hire or no of the national troops in the operation .
object: importance of the tax for the working of the home market the president of the commission , mr. prodi , assured lately in an article of november of the financial times that he wished neither fiscal harmonization nor common tax rates within the european union while specifying that the tax rate " raises national parliaments and must remain " it .
the questions 23 to 32 will receive a written answer .
the agreement of stabilization and association of the european union and republic of croatia arrives at the good moment .
mr. president , mr. commissioner , dear colleagues , i will start with congratulating mr. baltas for his/her/its report and especially for the speed with which he/it produced this report. it was indeed important to react quickly following the changes intervened in croatia , of which mrs. stenzel has just spoken us .
the evolution in this domain is especially substantial .
in 1991-1992 , more than 250 000 croatians have been hunted thus of krajina , western slavonia and oriental slavonia .
there is no doubt that this year is to mark a white stone for europe of the southeast .
i don't think that one can speak of skinny balance on one year .
it is for us about an important point and we will be able to , i hope for it , to count on your support when we will come back to consult you positively once the negotiated agreement .
the reactions of opposition in the wahid government are numerous and the process seems to stagnate .
some chiefs papous is always jailed them also .
we also ask the european commission to follow this orientation .
the terms of the communication of the commission that date the beginning of the year are justified therefore , even though they were imprinted of a certain euphoria certainly ensuing of these changes .
the justice that is not returned and the camps of refugees that eternalize themselves are spaces of confrontation between the old and new powers in indonesia , they testify of the fragility of the democratization process .
the most troubling situation is the one of the moluqueses , where the fighters of the djihad enjoy an unacceptable manuvre margin .
the jaya irian is also victim of the migratory politics .
we must really choose the priorities , we cannot mingle the environmental , social questions , economic with the essential problem of the respect of the democracy and human rights , that must clearly constitute a political priority of our relations with indonesia .
this resolution affirms categorical manner that the jaya irian is part of indonesia .
the situation certainly improved and we must encourage president wahid , but very serious problems subsist .
he/it is definitely unacceptable that remain some hostages at the mercy of armed bandits of the score of thousands of be - timorais refugees that , under indonesian patriotism pretext , tempt to pull itself/themselves of it without paying for passes them criminal .
she/it counts because of her/its size: it is the fourth country of the world by his/her/its population. she/it counts because of her/its economic dimension , because of his/her/its role to the level of the region and , finally , because of his/her/its environmental impact .
it is the reason for which we must ally the means and the police , administrative and penal instruments so much between the étatses members that to the level of the eu .
(the president withdraws the speech to the speaker)
mrs. schreyer , you have us several times repeated here that as commissioner charged of the struggle antifraude , you considered that he/it was especially of your duty to guarantee the olaf's independence .
it is the very establishment of a financial administration to the european echelon that creates the problems seen the bad conception of the models of distribution of the money of the european taxpayers in the setting of the aforesaid " community "; of the rest , these models are not , in many cases , not at all wished .
i would like to be able to congratulate the reporter a lot , a person that i appreciate and that i admire a lot as individual and politics , for his/her/its report. unfortunately , me the then not .
the report is about the protection of the financial interests of the community and on the manner of which we adjust this question. there are the main points .
for lack of time , i will limit myself to a brief presentation of these different points .
the debate is closed .
an european legislation exists to protect the enterprises against the effects of such a bad management and the commission now committed to put his/her/its own regulations in place to guarantee the speed of the remittances .
we have other mechanisms to our disposition to reveal cases of previous fraud that had passed unobserved until there in broad daylight .
mrs. schreyer , you have just mentioned the council while saying that a état member opposed the creation of an european district attorney .
also , i think that this last acts in a very judicious way while meaning to the court of the accounts that that he/it waits precisely for these reports .
nor the commission nor the étatses members won't be able to evade their responsibility anymore and in particular to reject itself/themselves mutually her .
he/it told it in all honesty , regretting so be it .
the implication of the commission and the court of the accounts in the development of this report was a very useful gait and , i think , very deliberate of your part .
you can note to my speech that he/it appears interesting to me to deepen the discussion on these propositions in order to see how to reinforce the responsibilities in this domain .
the first defect important of this text is the absence of harmonization .
i think therefore that the article 4 must also be improven .
within the unique market , the investors , that it was about private investors , societies or funds of pension , should be in measure to exercise their prerogatives of shareholders to the profit of the societies in which they invest and for themselves .
we cannot close the eyes before the reality: an acquirement of actions comes with restructurings of staff , of the layoffs , etc .
does it say , what effect risks to have the amendments that we put down as parliament?
what should be the dominant preoccupation of a legislation governing the acquirements? there is the principle on which we will divide maybe tomorrow .
he/it would have to on the other hand to be easier to solve the question to know what will be the competent control authority .
the reporter's amendments generate a confusion around litigations , and we would be wrong to vote in favor of confusion being about potential litigations .
a thing that i would like concerning this guideline on the public offers of acquirement , it is she to be able to defend very firmly before the millions of voters of my country and the millions of people that have plans of retirement and savings based on investments in stock market .
this procedure , that already exists in several other états members , concern the domain of the public offers of acquirement of course , but she/it spreads again farther and could possibly be studied more in detail in the setting of the general reexamination of the right of the societies proposed by the commission .
i would finally like to remind you that it is here about a guideline centers , in accordance with the wish that this parliament expressed earlier .
the right is in succession the right incessible and inalienable of the creative artists to discern a part of the returns coming from the resale of their uvres .
there are first the british lobbyists who fear the disappearance of jobs .
the compromise adopted by the council is therefore more that a weak reflection of the initial proposition of the commission , extensively sustained by the european parliament in first reading .
i also count on the support of the commission , of the less for one three thick points of litigation .
it is also here about the zing and the competitiveness of the european market of the art .
in another case , the picture had been elsewhere very certainly sold , in america for example .
this amendment is however only in part acceptable .
postal service competition
it is my proposition , mr. savary .
first: we must be careful to get reasonable prices for the postal services. secondly , we must be careful to establish some elevated norms of quality for these services and third , to guarantee the setting to disposition of a postal service generalized everywhere in the european union .
the legal commission was more demanding with regard to the limit of price of the services reserved to the beneficiary of the universal service , but his/her/its proposition concerning the limit of weight to 150 grams is the same and it rejects the limit of the 50 grams foreseen by the proposition of guideline .
finally , one cannot accept a new date of liberalization so much that there won't be a previous assessment .
you know to what point the file is complicated; he/it includes the ideological brakes , sometimes put of the two sides , indeed .
even though some within this parliament are able maybe to approve these propositions , strength note that they would have had a devastating effect on the postal services of the european union .
these propositions would also drive to the closing of farming small offices of station , whose survival depends on the postal services .
if we continue to this rhythm , it will be necessary for us close to one century to achieve the opening of the market of the postal services in europe .
mrs. chairwoman , i would like to make three remarks .
while examining this new guideline , we must be clear on a specific point .
he/it is not some so , and he/it doesn't must in to be thus .
in a faithful competition situation , the monopolizer can show that they consist of their domain .
but so grandmother is delighted with to receive a nice factor , what is also part of the requirements of a postal service of quality , it must not sadden us , but on the contrary to rejoice us .
those that present themselves if prepared badly in a negotiation , those that don't present the report asked since 1997 on the consequences , those that argue on an ideological plan - we won't be able to reach the quoted objectives precisely by you that if we liberalize , let's liberalize , let's liberalize - , must not wonder about to fall again on the nose!
mr. bolkestein , the commission is the guard of the treaties .
says otherwise , it is as if one calculated the average of the incomes of the multimillionaire and the pauper , what can probably give a satisfactory number but cannot be considered like socially acceptable , obviously because of the pauper's existence .
the times changed , mr. simpson .
the governments that are some to the origin were not socialist but very conservative or liberal .
as soon as the proposition has been presented by the commission , i immediately knew that it would never be accepted in his/her/its initial shape .
because if we are all okay on the principle of opening and liberalization , he/it is not less of them that the rhythm is important .
the effects of the first guideline are not returned publics because the consequences are obvious: losses of employment and deterioration of the work conditions , inequality of working of the public service on the set of the territory , notably in the countries and the popular districts .
the proposition of the commission foresees a progressive opening of this sector and , in my opinion , will bring an improvement of these services as well as the more competitive prices .
what is essential for the development of the sector of the direct marketing .
i call some directly to the british curators .
permit me to say this at year post: if this compromise is accepted , you will have what to blow a little .
we have only to wish that one day we know to pass the acquired situations and to defeat the selfish corporatisms to make progress indeed europe .
only 3% of the market of the correspondence have been liberalized .
he/it will be passed by the technology and will be sulked by the consumers who estimate that they don't have some for their money .
for the there to help , it is indispensable to institute a real competition , of a controlled and progressive way , associated to a predetermined calendar .
concerning the amendments 60 and 61 , i sustain the principle of completion of the home market at one ulterior date , to determine in a reasonable delay .
the commission will expose the same opinion and the council will decide on the proposition of the commission as good will seem him .
yet , the parliament must now be pronounced .
my second report looks many therefore at first and takes the amendments voted by the plenary .
he/it is true , mr. commissioner , that we give out some reserves and some objections .
mr. president , mr. commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i would like before all to congratulate the reporter , mr. dary that clearly commented us the reform , his/her/its history and his/her/its synthesis - that i am not going to repeat .
she/it exists in a set of particular regions of the community , the regions ultrapériphériques , in prey to a set of difficulties to be competitive on the markets and of which one of the rare products is precisely the banana .
this organization rather dissuades the chaos insofar as it tempts to institute some rules to which us conform ourselves all .
he/it is not exaggerated to say that this question represents among those that caused the biggest attention of all institutions .
we must continue to give without complex to these producers the means to live while buying in priority their production .
mr. president , the reporter deserves acknowledgments and the sympathy to have known how to manage this difficult report .
in the same way , i thank the presidents of the political groups of this parliament who accepted the persistence and the stubbornness of the deputies of the regions ultrapériphériques so that this proposition of reform of the sector of the banana is discussed today in this assembly , so that we can give out our obligatory opinion and to be ready for the meeting of the council of the agriculture ministers that will be held shortly and to start the year 2001 with a new reform of the ocm of the banana .
one spoke a lot here of the supposed unanimity within the commission of agriculture and the farming development around the report of m. dary .
dear colleagues , i have honor to inform you of the presence among us of a delegation of the korean parliament in the official tribune .
this support permitted to get to the council a positive decision for medium .
report (a5-0377 / 2000) of m. trakatellis , in the name of the commission the environment , the public health and the politics of the consumers , on the proposition of decision of the european parliament and the council extending communal some programs of action in the domain of the public health adopted by the decisions 645 / 96 / ec , 646 / 96 / ec , 647 / 96 / ec , 102 / 97 / ec , 1400 / 97 / this and 1296 / 1999 / this and modifying these decisions (com (2000) 448 - c5-0400 / 2000 - 2000 / 0192 (cod))
mr. president , i would wish to take advantage merely of this opportunity to signal , in reference to the commissioner's explanations this night to 00h15 , that the amendment 1 hires the commission .
(the parliament accepts the oral amendment)
amendment 2:
the parliament had the duty to come back there and to re-establish the biggest part of these amendments - for what touches the size of the warning , the enrollment of the ingredients , the protection of the consumers and notably of the young .
there would be , for certain parliamentary , two categories of population: the one that one protects and the one that one puts in danger for economic reasons?
i would like to explain especially why i voted against the interdiction to export products of tobacco beyond a certain level of tar / nicotine from the eu and sustained the amendments that aimed to increase this limit .
mrs. chairwoman , i would be favorable to the proposition radical to use some pictures to illustrate the damages that the cigarette can cause to health , as it is the case in canada .
i think that all it is positive , even though i would like - and i take advantage of this opportunity to say it - that one spends more for the prevention of the illnesses .
i would have preferred that this disposition results in a regulation , what would suit a topic that concerns the citizens of all the european union better .
the amendments that mr. zimmerling proposed will carry a deathblow to the zing of the european market of the art , with losses of jobs and , i fear it , very few living artists that will benefit from this resale right .
. (nl) it is well gladly that i thank mr. zimmerling for the work that he/it accomplished in this arduous file .
i see myself therefore in the obligation voting against this guideline .
and the agreement of stabilization and association , the cards program and the european bank of investment cannot constitute the main instruments of the contribution of the european union to the development economic and social of croatia .
the indonesian government and the army have the duty obvious to protect the security and the life of the citizens , whatever is their religious adherence .
it is why we must create the instruments permitting to fight more efficiently against the fraud to the communal financial interests as quickly as possible .
it would make of the eu an unique legal zone for the investigations , the pursuits , the suits and the executions of sentences for this type of offense .
let's seem us to have lost sometimes of view this element .
the amendments 11 and 13 aim to reexamine the system of the quotas only after 10 years and to refuse the setting up of the customs system proposed by the commission and required by several our commercial partners .
with regard to the motive of the tariff preference for the acps countries , we are also okay with the 300 euros by ton , but we consider the maximum " word " as non-essential .
there are also little luck so that our commercial partners accept such an overtime .
the agenda calls the declaration of the commission on the summit eu / united states of america .
it is , i recognize it , easier to say than to make , but we must try to resist the temptation - and i know that the secretary of albright état shares this point of view - to let these summits stall in the details of our economic and political daily relations .
one of the main lessons was that the europeans had to assume a bigger responsibility concerning european security .
i would be you thankful if , for the communication planned for the spring , you took in details this point and if , in addition to the analysis for that has been asked by the other wing of this assembly , you made some propositions on all points , on the manner of which we can reach new objectives in the future in the domain of the dialogue , of the collaboration concerning foreign policy , of the security politics , but also of these pragmatic themes that are for example the agreements of mutual recognition .
i also know and greet the initiative " all except the weapons " and demand to the commission to seize the opportunity of the summit to make pressure on the united states so that they adhere to this initiative .
it is necessary to act therefore to prevent the irreparable that waits for those and those that , as mumia abu-jamal or leonardo pelletier , are sometimes for years in the passageways of the death .
it is about a very useful idea that we won't fail to follow .
thank you very much , mr. commissioner .
however , i fear to find me under shootings crossed of my own group .
finally , it is necessary to resort to simple formulas of perception of the tax and , more concretely , to the shape of investment of the passive topic .
the first conclusion is that one cannot make anything without modification of the international setting .
- (of it) mr. president , our commission would like to underline first of all that the present arrangements penalize the european suppliers of these services: software , treatment of data , computer services , lodging and conception of sites and information on the web .
one always told me that one of the legislator's first rules should be: don't make any law that you won't be able to make respect .
i am delighted that , notably thanks to the commission the environment , the public health and the politics of the consumers , the report on the bottom takes a certain number of important elements that , because of a contest of circumstances , didn't receive a sufficient support within the commission of the transportation .
in the same time , we must pursue the line that consists in asking for the revision of the convention of chicago of 1944 , in order to get a new disposition on the international plan .
the local advantages short-term granted to a country are to the detriment of the other étatses of the european union .
mr. president , during the next decade , europe is going to be in first world position for the use of internet .
a lot of people , indeed , mr. commissioner , wonder why the europeans are always so expeditious to institute the taxes and new regimentations .
on this point , the convention of chicago is completely obsolete .
i don't consider the introduction of a common system of vat like a priority and i don't agree that such an introduction is waited for a long time .
from then on , our objective must be to clear and to simplify our fiscal systems without increasing the tax rate , but well while decreasing it .
the most desirable option is to apply a rate zero to the societies of electronic trade in order to put them on a foot of equality with their american and other competitors in the world .
the fiscal competition is in the interest of the citizens and the economy .
thus , so that the operators established outside of the union are submitted to the same fiscal liabilities that the communal operators when they provide some services to the consumers , they should submit to the vat in one étatses members of their choice and they will see themselves applying the vat rate in force in this état .
but this business is not so easy .
the place where the tax must be applied is an essential question , and the structural debate on the number of country that would be qualified to have the recorded societies is something that will be , according to me , heavy and that will push the united states evidently to carry complaint by the wto .
he/it is absurd that whereas a round-trip london - brussels costs 89 books with virgin airways , for example , the eurostar , that produces less gases well to greenhouse effect and that is an a lot more pleasant manner to travel , cost the equivalent of about 250 books for the same journey .
mr. president , this debate sees to reemerge of old demons .
finally , one spoke of the propositions that the french presidency could have made so that imposition makes itself on the place of consumption , with an obligation for the beneficiaries to be recorded in all étatses members .
the european companies would be penalized in relation to the companies of the countries third and it would provoke a distortion of the intra - eu prices structure in relation to the intercontinental prices .
it seems me to be in any case a solution that doesn't lead to a flight of funds out of europe and that is solely possible in the domain of the oecd and no of prompt way by the slant of individual negotiations .
i am perfectly conscious because some members of this assembly feel flooded by contradictory visions .
it permits to avoid the complexity that the use of criterias entails macro-economic or in the same way nature .
i now pass to the proposition of the minimum level of the normal rate .
therefore , no preparatory work not importing has been accomplished again within the groups of work of the oaci. , and he/it is little strong likely that the next general assembly already permits renégocier the convention of chicago .
this feeling persists again today , and it is regrettable , in the mind of the public opinion in europe .
the last objective of this guideline is the backing of the management of the situations of emergency in sea , while designating harbors of shelter , while forbidding to the ships to take the sea in case of strong storm and while asking the inshore état concerned to put in uvre of bigger means of intervention in sea , in case of risk serious of pollution .
the oil societies tell us that they have a voluntary fund .
i hope that after the impulse given in nice , the doubts and the resistances of some countries will have decreased and that we will reach this objective .
we evidently trust him to assure the maritime security , because she/it must know that one week doesn't go by without we are challenged with this question: " but you , european parliamentarians , that make yourselves to assure the security , to change the rules? .
mr. president , the commission knows that one of the plans announced by the british government november 8 , 2000 concerned the introduction of a shape of taxation of the users of the road as a payable label by all road , british carriers or no , for their use of the road network of united kingdom .
secondly , if , as well as did the minister have the intention initially of it , does he propose to tax the foreign trucks in order to subsidize the carriers of his/her/its country , it is he contrary to the european legislation?
this unbalance of economic nature between royalties and taxes imposed to the truck drivers in the different états members provokes a distortion of the competition on the territory of united kingdom between road carriers of different nationalities .
being about the question of the use of meat and animal flour , their export is covered precisely in the same way by the legislation that governs the production of meat and animal flour within the european union; the obligation to withdraw , for example , matters to risk of meat and the animal flour are covered by the legislation and will be efficient from march 1st , 2001 .
the jews are the traitors and the disloyal .
i hope indeed that in every country of the region , we will note that the educational services promote tolerance rather than intolerance .
this answer is not surprising on behalf of m. monti .
n question º 37 of (hs 0900 / 00):
the commission will also propose in the same time a mechanism of defensive temporary support specifically conceived to counter the disloyal practices of korea during the necessary period to the conclusion of the wto procedure .
it is about a dramatic problem .
the industry user of coke uses to the total 70.000 people , but this product only represents a part very marginal of his/her/its costs , to the surroundings of 2% .
n question º 40 of (hs 0889 / 00):
we transmitted our proposition practically to the acps countries at the same time as to our états members .
this initiative doesn't have besides for object to adjust it , i am anxious to reassure you , so much the supplementary quantities that could be imported on the communal market are weak .
these countries don't have unfortunately , considering their situation , no autonomous negotiation capacity and , therefore , it is a gesture that we must , in my opinion , to make one-sidedly , without no counterpart .
the procedure followed by the commission to grant the asked financial help will be finished soon , and it also understands the sums whose ecpat has need for 2001 .
we have three types of activities in this domain .
the proposition of the commission doesn't make mention of the place where could get settled this future courthouse .
i am not certain to understand that that the honorable deputy hears by " proliferation " .
the question of m. berenguer fuster is about the set down marks .
i take it like an encouragement to renew our action and to look after what spain makes what she has to make as quickly as possible .
to my previous question , you had answered that it was the mistake of spain and that you would take the measures that imposed themselves .
she/it clarified the one that had been made me before well .
the guideline 89 / 48 / eec concerns the diplomas crowning a professional formation of at least three years after the secondary education .
object: maritime communications in the strait separating vaasa in finland of umeå in sweden the maritime traffic in this strait of the baltic sea are brought to disappear because he/it is not more profitable , insofar as the shipowners cannot practice the duty-free sale anymore .
in the city of vaasa that i have just mentioned , for example , 550 jobs have been lost exactly in the domain of the tourism during the last 2 years , maybe well because of the end of the duty-free sale .
this proposition aiming to stimulate the development and the use of the numeric content reflects the objective of the summit of lisboa .
besides , i invite the commission to elaborate procedures of setting in uvre more efficient and faster in the domain of the calls to proposition .
if we only put the useful to the enterprises content , notably the meteorology and geography , what is very desirable , surely , it is not necessary to forget , that is a lot complicate than to take the useful to the enterprises information only for the content destined to the citizens that .
the numeric content , that represents the quantity more that the quality , standardize and restricted the cultural and social diversity .
the second point that appears me just as essential , concern the particular attention that we must carry to the small and middle enterprises , to the start-up .
on the other hand , when we make of this weakness a virtue and that we change the negative sign merely in positive , that we don't consider our various languages anymore like gates but rather like bridges and that we recognize them as assets , then it becomes a valid basis for an european market and for a certain independence .
i won't come back on all objectives of this program: conditions favorable to the merchandising , diffusion and use of the numeric content , to encourage the economic activity , to widen the possibilities of jobs , to encourage the exploitation of the potential of the european numeric content in look and in front of the united states .
from then on , the suitable condition setting up in view of the production of european multilingual numeric content dons an increasing importance .
some among them are , in itself , very precious , but will find a better place in other instruments that the present decision .
the different positions can now be exposed , the vote is not on the agenda of tonight and if biggest group of the parliament was of opinion that the parliament must not proceed to the vote tomorrow , it seems then a lot more correct to me to formulate such a proposition in plenary assembly of the parliament , tomorrow at the time of the vote , rather than to make it tonight .
mr. president , dear colleagues , ladies and gentlemen , more and more citizens in europe are resonant nuisance victims .
the étatses members are free to define when begins the evening and the night that follow .
i am satisfied therefore with the proposition of the commission , but i consider it like a first step , according to me too prudent .
it is why the reduction and the suppression of the ambient noise must represent an essential shutter of the european environmental politics in the future .
the group of the unit left sustains it therefore gladly , even though we wanted to go again farther in the conclusive solution research and in the approach of those that wins money with the nuisances .
but permit me to approach the squabblings and the struggle that deliver himself nearby in the backstages , within the commission , underneath , above , this last time and again here at the instant .
consequently , i don't hide that my country will feel an enormous difficulty to accept the proposition of the commission , unless this one foresees a sufficiently flexible mechanism so that the life style that we inherited our forebears , appreciated otherwise so much as well by the spaniards that by the foreign visitors , can be maintained .
however , i would recommend this report and , of course , the proposition of the commission to this assembly .
in second place the relative instructions - girls come to the norms of quality .
i am entirely favorable to the necessity to harmonize the indicators of noise and the methods of assessment , to everything that concerns the cards of noise , the development of plans of actions in order to reduce the levels of noise and to protect quiet zones , as well as the necessity to widen the whole domain of information to the public .
secondly , this proposition adopts a new approach in order to value the general situation concerning noise in europe according to the number of people affected by the noise .
the commission can accept the following amendments in principle or partially: it is about the amendments 6 , 7 , 12 , 13 , 17 , 21 , 22 , 25 , 28 , 29 , 32 , 39 , 42 , 44 and 45 , , , .
otherwise , the additives cannot be used in general , for the non transformed commodities - what is the case here - that didn't undergo any treatment dragging a substantial change of their origin state .
mr. president , with the ppe group , we voted for the lannoye report within the commission the environment , the public health and the politics of the consumers , and this one corresponds besides fully to our waitings .
no one speaks of it to us .
the agenda calls the report (a5-0372 / 2000) of m. staes , in the name of the delegation of the european parliament to the committee of conciliation on the common project , approved by the committee of conciliation , of guideline of the european parliament and the council modifying the guideline 95 / 53 / ec fixing the relative principles to the official control organization in the domain of the animal food .
i received then on behalf of the french presidency an obvious signal , a very clear message , a message of the type " no pasarán " .
after long negotiations , an acceptable compromise has now been concluded in committee of conciliation: he/it is about the insurance that the protective measures taken by the commission will remain in force as a long time that they won't have been replaced by a new decision , and on the engagement of the étatses members to grant their total support to the experts of the commission during the investigations and the controls that they will do on the land .
i greet this legislation .
the structural funds of the eu - mainly by the slant of the fse - , as well as the credits of the national finance ministries should always be targeted on the development of zones penalized and poorer within our societies .
the cities of europe constitute important economic , political and sociocultural poles .
a lucid legislation and a scrupulous control of his/her/its application constitute some supplementary means of action .
the commission also expresses his/her/its recognition for the substantial support provided by the european parliament for this proposition and for the numerous useful amendment that has been introduced .
considering the nature of the activity , the commission can accept the amendments 10 and 23 .
i say " famous " because it is about a very fashionable topic , and you will agree with me that he/it doesn't happen one day without the press doesn't title on the principle of precaution , about all and nothing , to good or to bad knowledge , but more often in an erroneous manner .
the maximalist try to block the innovation and the progress , while the minimalists counsel not to resort to the principle of precaution that in meaningful danger case for health and the environment , that means a doorstep above to define , but one doesn't know very well how!
the respective role clarification is an essential condition for the restoration of the necessary public confidence in the scientific community , as well as in the political decision-makers - to know , us , the policy makers .
in these situations , a margin of security is preserved , at ends of prudence .
we also asked that some measures are taken within the world organization of the trade - a regulation , maybe - that would guarantee that he/it is possible , in the context of the wto , to invoke other liabilities , as those of which we must fulfill to the multilateral agreement title concerning environment , in order to spread the field of application of the precaution principle .
of course , it is also essential to reinforce the legal value of the precaution principle to make a norm of international right of it .
the art of life consists in managing these risks and uncertainties judiciously .
soon she/it uses it too much and disguise it , soon she/it uses it too little and provoke our indignation .
i think , for example , to the phtalates contained in some toys. we had the curious idea to introduce some toys in sweets , ices and other foods .
he/it goes in the same way for the requirements of the commission , that ask that an analysis retailed of the risks is achieved previously .
the resolution invites the commission to make leading line use adopted and to integrate the principle of precaution , every time that it is necessary , in the development of his/her/its legislative propositions and in all his/her/its actions .
it is not possible to provide a general doorstep of minimis .
while assigning for the first time the sakharov price to defenders of the human rights who militate inside the union , the european parliament affirms solemnly that all violation of these must be fought without base action .
mrs. chairwoman , ladies , gentlemen , the initiative citizen " basta ya! " want , above all , to express his/her/its gratitude in this parliament for the honorable recognition that he/it grants him .
it only is not about murders .
i ask you therefore to follow me and to trust me .
(the parliament adopts the legislative resolution)
mrs. chairwoman , if the assembly allows me it , i would like to give an oral explanation to my amendment 51 .
report (a5-0334 / 2000) of m. garcía-margallo there marfil , in the name of the economic and monetary commission , on the communication of the commission concerning the taxation of the aviation fuel (com (2000) 110 - c5-0207 / 2000 - 2000 / 2114 (co))
this agreement is attractive for some enterprises but negative for the environment and the democracy .
the major event occurred since our precedents budgetary proceedings is evidently the crisis said of the " mad " cow .
it would clearly contradict the mind and the letter of the decisions , previously evoked , of the chiefs of état and government .
the parliament succeeded in imposing some important priorities - notably , a bigger implication in the struggle against unemployment and poverty , a certain number of problems bound to the environment and the equality of the odds between the women and the men , etc. we voted against the attacks of the right carried to the life program and the lobby of the european womens .
the importance of the endowment planned for the kosovo is not yet without causing legitimate questioning on the real capacity of absorption of this region of yugoslavia , of the 350 millions of euros that it was foreseen initially to affect it in 2001 .
nothing justifies the fiscal advantage concession through a determined distribution shape .
one date limits brings a lucid answer to the actors of the postal market and permits to the national monopolies to get ready better to a liberalization .
can we erase a simple decision , possibly smallly majority , a whole conception of the postal service , conception that finds his/her/its roots and his/her/its explanations in the particularities of every état?
the doorstep of 50 grams proposed by the commission , associated to a price plafonné twice and half the public tariff , is indeed too drastic and would have had devastating consequences on the universal postal services .
from where our firm and lucid opposition to the set of his/her/its subjects .
we estimate that the post office is not a matter for the expertise of the eu , even though the proposition after the reading of the commission is considerably better than the initial proposition of the commission .
dary report (a5-0374 / 2000)
we consider while must be protected of the consequences of this war the small producers who work on their plantations without exploiting person as well as their incomes whatever are the fluctuations of the market .
according to the article 10 , the freedom of speech entails the liabilities and responsibilities capable to drive to conditions , the limitations and sanctions .
one can only be delighted with such an initiative when one knows that the value of the european numeric content represents 5% in terms of european gdp and 4 millions in term of jobs .
in these conditions , these are notably their consistency and their unit that assured to the united states a pre-eminence on this market of future .
i also hope that there will be , in 2004 , a reduction in this distribution of expertise and that one will apply the criteria of subsidiarity so that the regions and the autonomous communities can have their statute within the union .
we can only congratulate ourselves of it .
for example , on the commercial negotiations mentioned higher , the national parliaments are going to be dispossessed of their last rights of ratification , and a country , if he/it is minority to the council , won't be able to say " anymore no " when a negotiation will rape its interests .
we had , to multiple resumptions , tempted them to dissuade some and the summit of nice has besides very clearly shown that an appreciably widened agenda could have succeeded to an absence of result this year , what would have been catastrophic for the widening .
seen the importance fundamental of the decisions to taking to the summit of nice , let's return to caesar what is caesar's .
says otherwise , what the parliament wants , it is a control on the tax system and the questions of social security .
the decisions of the council - gotten to pulled it during the night - don't offer a strong basis; they display enormous hiatuses with regard to the transparency , the constitution of an identity , the democracy , the involvement of the citizens and the conscience of the reform .
it is why we must consider his/her/its findings as the result of a compromise of which no one left entirely winner , nor defeated .
on the contrary , the national democracy power decreases by dint of limiting more always the right of veto and to give more power always in the parliament of the eu .
therefore , you must vote in favor of this disposition that limits the taxation of the planes again , because in this manner the ticket of plane will be us less expensive always , therefore we will be able to travel more by this means of transportation .
don't pass to the foot of the buildings , you could receive a pot of flowers on the head!
the complexity and the variety of the technological evolution and the processes of structural modification require to integrate all local and regional partners absolutely in the partnerships of development , which are implied in the development of strategic programs of the regional politics for every region .
we must prevent to all price therefore from choking them or to carry reach there .
one could say that the innovation is accessible to all agents that surround the process of production .
the ditch between the developed regions and the regions are late indeed a lot more important to the level of the technological development that to the level of the gross national product .
as one knows , the bureaucrats have like main argument risks it of mistakes .
i don't know if the fact that three women signed today the european budget is a direct consequence of the risi initiative , but i would be happy that the gift of christmas that we are deciding also benefits to the women .
to reduce the budget in a chapter as this one , dedicated to experiences - pilot , to new ideas concerning local and urban development - giving some results more that acceptable - that were to the basis of communal programs as precious to the local level that he/it is urban and interreg would be also a mistake .
as said it very well mr. rack , i never understood and i will never understand this regional politics and this politics of cohesion like a way of alms that one makes to the poorest regions .
it is the reason for which , when i am in the negotiations , of the docups , beyond the innovative actions , i speak currently , there of the mainstream , i am extremely attentive to recover in each of the programming documents a regional plan of access to the society of information and i verify the quality , beyond the size of that programs regional , notably with regard to directly the small and middle enterprises , the educational and same establishments the agricultural exploitations .
mrs. schroedter , mr. izquierdo collado and mr. ortuondo larrea , have understandably , evoked this budgetary envelope question .
the new naval construction prices fell during the last years and reached their lowest level in 1999 , because of this south-korean politics .
the commission should have proceeded to a special vote to assure that this point was on the agenda of the debate of today .
this conception is besides compliant to the treaty. i don't have the time to come back there more in detail .
however , the proposition of the commission , that consists of a help to research and to the development , the complaint against korea before the world organization of the trade - they work with lower prices , even in relation to the prices of comes back - , and the possibility that of the transient help measures have so much that the recourse is not solved is maybe , according to us , a solution more or less fragile , but it is about at least of a solution .
in the same time , it is imperative to increase the pressure exercised on korea , so possible in the setting of the oecd , while adopting antidumping measures .
says otherwise , we support unemployment and these are actually the others that make some business with the boatyards .
i think that he/it makes an excellent x-ray of the european naval industry , a true x-ray .
this procedure won't give any fast results. it can take him until two years to succeed to the final conclusion , if she/it succeeds .
this mechanism would be applied until the conclusion of the procedure hired by the wto .
i am sure that we are all united today to defend vigorously and with strength the liberty in europe , but i would like to say that , more that the solidarity of the colleagues to the european parliament , the spaniards need their engagement .
by one day of may , seagoing on the waters of sicily , his/her/its nuclear cur showed signs troubling of deterioration .
he/it would be on the other hand alarming that , facing this situation , we didn't act as soon as possible .
in the two , we express the necessity that the two concerned étatses members , the united kingdom and spain , collaborate closely in search of the surest solution for the repair of the submarine , while holding - of course - the public opinion informed in a prompt manner .
we heard the affirmations of persons responsible of the british fleet saying that the damage was minimal and of others that said the inverse precisely , that it was important and that it required long and difficult repairs .
i know that the assembly supposes that , without these engagements , it would have been present. it is i that come to represent it .
the commission is analyzing it .
since they are already begun , let's consider with realism the fan of the options of which arranges today united kingdom and the authorities of gibraltar .
cooperation and calmness are the methods in use in our union .
the british government acts as made it lately the russian government at the time of a damage occurred to one his/her/its submarines .
mr. president , on my turn , i am anxious to face part of my deepest support to our spanish colleagues the last terrorist murder of the eta .
the commission , in the lucid answer that she/it gave has two months and in today's answer , took the responsibility to recognize it , although the proposition of resolution of the popular group that , with other trivializations of the topic , stopped us from sharing it , didn't recognize it .
the main minister of the government of gibraltar , mr. peter caruana , took a wise decision , when he asked a panel of experts to get it personally informed from the evolution of the situation .
such is and remain according to us the most coherent attitude and the one that guarantees to best the interests and the security of all parts concerned .
b5-0908 / 2000 of deputies maij-weggen and posselts , in the name of the ppe group of;
in 1980 , the hcr took care of five millions of refugees .
today we greet the hcr and the set of the humanitarian staff .
mr. president , the commission associates of course to the support that the parliament brings to the hcr on the occasion of the 50th birthday of this institution .
i would like to develop a larger question that has a direct report with the subjects that the honorable parliamentary held in a little while .
b5-0909 / 2000 of mrs. pack and other , in the name of the ppe group of;
the last problem that i would like to land concerns the dramatic events that take place at the border between serbia and the kosovo .
it is there that is the place of milosevic and no to the convention of party in belgrade .
in what concerns us , the mentality of the ethnic groups of the kosovo that fights again between them must change and become a mentality made of mutual respect .
i don't want to sing our own praises , but we can also say that the european union reacted very quickly to this new situation .
b5-0915 / 2000 of m. medina ortega and other , in the name of the pse group;
b5-0918 / 2000 of mrs. napoletano and other , in the name of the pse group;
the chilean government guaranteed that to chile , the general pinochet would have an equitable suit and indeed , he lost today his/her/its immunity and the chilean judicial authorities start some pursuits against him .
permit me to recall that it is important that we approved this common resolution , now that pinochet is in chile , what we could not make when pinochet was in united kingdom .
i declare it while knowing that these fundamental principles are those of the parties of the european free alliance and the green of this assembly .
mr. president , before starting my intervention , i would like to join the condemnation of the attempt that cost life to an elected of the people , a militant and a counselor of the popular party in catalonia , in spain .
it is for this reason that i am pleased that my political group and i believe , the majority of our parliament , don't let himself drag to play the cases of resonance in progress for the exploitation of the crisis .
their life is in big danger .
the league of the human rights is suspended , his/her/its local are put under seal and his/her/its president , moktar trifi , is convened before the courthouse , has just been like that says you , december 25 .
the defenders of the human rights , the unionists , the academic , the journalists and students note constant harassment on behalf of the authorities .
he/it is in a very critical state .
the daily harassment and the tabassage of all democrats are really generalized .
i hope that in this business the chilean judicial system will continue to show evidence of independence and efficiency .
we know that the chiefs of mission of the european union follow the political situation attentively in the country .
finally , i would like to mention the crucial role played by the parliament , that contributed to increase the sensitization and to intensify the dialogue on these questions , by the slant of parliamentary visits and public proceedings as this one .
laurent gbagbo must start a real national reconciliation politics , that passes by the rupture with the speech on the ivoirité , the modification of the racist constitution , and by the democratic election holding where none of the candidates is excluded , mistake of what the risks of secession and civil war will do grow only .
mr. president , news of the coast - d'ivoire cause since months the concern justified at the european citizens and the corresponding concern within our parliament .
the necessary conditions are the following: that no one feels excluded , that the supreme court instituted by the military power disappears , that the chief of état implies himself/itself without ambiguousness in the process of restoration of the democracy and that one listens to the opinions of the committee for the national reconciliation .
the concept of ivoirité appears me , for my part , perfectly founded .
a half-a-dozen of copies is now available by the president .
mr. president , in the name of the green , we also withdraw our proposition of resolution .
mr. president , i confirm that that has just said mr. posselt .
(the minute is approved)
with regard to these people , the étatses members must put in various uvre politicize , while tackling the problem of the necessary aid as well that to the one of the cover of expenses , especially for those of disabled whose families are not able effectively to assume a hold in charge definitive and total .
mr. president , it is a big pleasure for me to speak in the name of the group of the green / european free alliance and to congratulate the reporter for this excellent report .
at the present time , thanks to the sanitary resource improvement , of information , the cares , the lodging and the regimes of pension , more and more people live older .
these are especially the governments of the étatses members , the administrations of the federate étatses , the provinces and townships that , by numerous recommendations , can prove to be somewhat useful .
the basis of this life vision is thrown in the family , in which all human being grows like child .
he/it often arrives that , in the last years of life , one falls seriously sick , one remains completely handicapped , one needs the help of all .
while finishing , i would like to insist on a point having milked to the medical cares .
the speech was also: the women must not work so that the men have an use .
in first analysis , for many , it can appear like a handicap .
we should find the means of it .
the numerous active aged people should motivate us to beat us for a society in which solidarity between the generations is more that a beautiful speech!
these measures should be adapted to the different situations and features with regard to the quality of life and the economic self-sufficiency .
only some common and sustained efforts will be able to help us .
a discretionary manuvre margin must exist for the preferences and individual decisions .
if someone recovers all objects that miss to our colleague , prayer to bring back them , notably his/her/its glasses , because mrs. flemming was in your back , mr. fatuzzo .
finally , it would be necessary to reintroduce explicitly in the text the possibility of actions in favor of the regions ultrapériphériques and their logo .
it will be necessary to insist also on methods of production that are respectful of the well-being of the animals and the environment .
it is also the reason for which i am delighted that this week , to the european parliament , we created a group of work for the biotechnologies .
of course , these actions of institutional communication must rather complete the advertising operations orchestrated by the big distribution notably .
if the propositions of the parliament , that by three times got the majority of our voices , were applied - but it is again an example of the impotence of the parliament - so that the fallows can be cultivated with legumes or clovers and that grazings are allowed , we would arrange of more than grazings and therefore of more than fodders to the proteins .
it is normal that these costs are supported by the producers , the sellers and the professional organizations , and no by the european union .
we must wonder why we failed in the past to encourage the industry of the european union to resort to the money that was available .
naturally , if we can produce and can promote best food products for the environment , while taking in consideration the well-being of the animals , and to sell them on the world markets , then we will achieve the objective indeed for which agricultural politics township has been conceived .
as for the amendments 9 and 22 that ask for the institution of a special management county , and with regard to the amendments 7 , 19 , 23 and 27 , that require other changes of procedure , it is necessary to add that the commission must hold to coherent arrangements of procedure .
all those that insist saying that in europe one likes the good things again have reason .
mr. president , he/it is proven scientifically that the consumption curbed of wine is one of the best preventions against cancer , the infarctus , alzheimer's illness , and i pass some .
. (nl) i would like to rent the reporter for his/her/its work .
