we are well aware that the existing treaties are inadequate and another , more efficient structure for the union must be developed , namely a more marked with a clear demarcation between the powers of the member states and the powers of the union . constitutionally structure henceforth this is the first place embassies of concern about the economic and social problems which we face in spite of constant growth as a result exertions experience from all our fellow citizens . the current situation , particularly for many self-employed hauliers , for agriculture is intolerable that we must in any event , be improved . the understanding of the procedure itself , this is a good thing , but we must ensure that the system is not as a political schlagwaffe can be used . they also have the right evident in the view that they must comply with . i agree with his warning of for some tempting six-monthly return to the methods of intergovernmental cooperation . many of us want to see a federation of nation states choked . it also implies that every its proper place . the rapporteur , the level of debate and also stressed the need to go any further . i can only agree with you selfevident . the latter , i would like to say that one of the parties involved to deal with them and they must , as a political speech must always be realistic and has always been kräftesituation and all of us desired objectives into account . speech before forces studying familiarise weigh i would like to say that we in this closer cooperation in order to address a few examples of the new europe 's capacity to provide . the vote will take place today at 12.30 p.m . amendment no 12 , the commission must reject . i shall be voting for the adoption of the regelungsentwurfs . indeed , the reports of the european court of auditors constantly to dispense with low , pointed out the details of greece , portugal constantly occur before . we have therefore voted in favour of this report . the supporters are not only cheaper and worldwide , but also insofar as their fuel consumption per passenger is lower . outlaw such buses applicable environmentally-friendly the report also calls for defining benchmarks , with a view to the dissemination of best practices in the eu level . a binding and comprehensive charter with enforceable rights could later to lead to difficulties . i thank them for their splendid work . we shall be voting believe not , however , that he has been less than three months in nice completed this reason alone we will not in favour of the charter at the nice summit in the treaty . post-1999 can . the csu-europagruppe welcomes the fact that the present draft of the charter of citizens with regard to the institutions and bodies of the eu corresponding rights concisely and visible to be made . it is a reflection of the emerging liberal europe . because i had hoped that this charter further work will , as many ngos from various countries of the union have proposed . ( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by mr queiró on hungary [ com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 2175 ( cos ) ] ; 1997 ) that is why i wish you also propose that we as a parliament no longer present , but only to country , in order to make it clear that we are in favour of a differentiated progress of the negotiations next year 's general concern . it seems to me that it will be the french presidency on the basis of the work of the previous presidencies and the commission 's position - at least i hope that this is a fairly accurate overview of the accession process to vat-free . at the nice european council - 30.3 as has already been said , i should like to repeat that the french presidency will arise evade , does not mean that we have time and have the possibility of each of these difficulties auszudiskutieren . and here none of the this is a matter of course perfectly understandable , but we need to impeccably and precise answer it . it is a great perspective , which is what we need to deal with großherzigkeit and farsightedness . not every outcome of the intergovernmental conference would be the enormous pressure of enlargement equitably . the second major change which we are seeing and on which europe is the acceleration of economic development towards the global market and to global competition . arise from galloping fourthly , it follows another principle that the member states , which will subsequently have begun to a fair chance to which that used to have begun . aufzuschließen have where wideranging and long-term investments are necessary in order to achieve , should be borne in mind that the present members in these cases long transitional periods took to european standards . for coastguard and crime-fighting apply equally to our standards and the benefits of european cooperation . we look at the present trade between the european union and the central and eastern european countries . fortunately , the commissioner has at last give citizens first communicated to the fears which have been exhibiting unfounded , has spoken . but one thing is clear - and i welcome the fact that mr verheugen has stressed again : a transitional period for the observance of democratic rules cannot exist . that is why we need the help of the commission , because it lacks trifled with great determination sometimes the corresponding munitions . it is necessary to ensure that we as the european union goals can be put to the internal reforms to a conclusion . but there are some important points and questions which we disagree . this runs counter to the european union and its future independence in terms of north america and a common european defence and security policy , because it is also posing a threat to the relationship with russia and other countries . we hope , however results , and we want to see what is in preparation for enlargement must be done , not on another intergovernmental conference postponed . i shall be brief , as i have already done , as i said earlier in my first speech three minutes my speaking time does not have utilised . this is very important , and i am very pleased that the commission an information campaign is working , in the words of commissioner verheugen both comprehensively as well decentralized basis should be held . but - and this is my last word , because i would like to say that this is quite clear : i am not a pessimist on this issue , i am not at the time , i have a clear statement in favour of enlargement - in order to be credible , we must continue to be understood to be approved by the peoples of the peoples of the candidate countries as well as our peoples to win . seriously wants now i see no need , in connection with enlargement on the financial perspective to speak . no one can i say to you today ! the same reason incidentally , you have also expressed the wish to join the european union . we are now in the various rapporteurs to speak . i have been responsible task entrusted to the report on the request estonia 's accession to the european union at present . conservative i agree very much thrifty with taxpayers ' money to a.m . i believe , only then would have a hint of what the people of latvia in recent years it has done . this is not enough , the whole strategy must be geared more towards the citizens of europe . lithuania has great potential for a long-term economic growth . in the broadest sense , it is about cooperation between the european union with the russian federation . another point neuralgischer is support for the public in and outside the european union . as a result of astute fiscal amounted to inward investment in the last year , more than 5,45 billion euros . let us not get involved , not even we germans ! the slovak democratic evolving stable , and in this area we have had already been different experiences . in my speech i will be the six points in the development of the situation in hungary and rationalize which , under the banner of joining the european union are important . summarize that is why i am pleased that this issue in the general report by mr brok on enlargement has been included . this applies to no more than in the field of nuclear power , where the danger is that the lobby of kernkraftgegner the legitimate concerns in relation to nuclear safety and environmental protection for their own ends . usurpiert welfare sector i would like my colleagues in the advocacy of setting up a high-level group recommend . the report , which has also been adopted , will come to the conclusion of the territory of the legal authorities sphere , the copenhagen political criteria . unanimously in committee that part of the this is the key to our high representative for the cfsp , javier solana , to what we are talking of their own role of the commission naturally intact . the main problem is , however , still in the fact that the accession process by the government and opposition judged differently , and the european union attaches to the fact that this accession process . progressing steadily value malta even the united states of america and mexico below the level closer together . that is why we in the field of the internal market is sound , flexible and the challenge of a proper strategy . korea-eu i should also like to say that i have respect for the citizens in central and eastern european countries have , for ten years ago , have had the courage to draw attention to the strasse to go , and this process with got going have at this point . the information society is important for both old and the new industry . we must not let us also by the percentages of domestic legislation umgesetztes community law blenden . the 10 new eastern european countries have such a rich erbonkel not delivering . this applies equally to the - subhuman - transportation of live animals to the slaughterhouses . now we are working on a system for all the main acts an assessment of the health implications fully-fledged system . in my opinion , it must also be made clear that the european regional development fund cannot remain on the basis of a purely accountant dispersed among the regions and areas must be given to the european union and entered into . elmar brok was right in his speech by pointing out that we are all the beneficiary of enlargement will , in particular , we are on this side of the existing external frontier . instituted the binnenschiffverkehr is important for environmental reasons , because we massengüter away from the roads must be given and , if they cannot be on rail transport , then we must navigable benefits . also selfishness and not least populism have played a role , and the empowered eurokurs has outcome will certainly not positively influenced . our message to the candidate countries reads : do not by the scale of the reports and documents upset . unfortunately , have too many parties its ideological suffered abgestreift with the result that they too little ideals embody and to materialistisch are at present . it should be required , the unrestricted right to acquisition of grundstücken and eigenheimen , so we should do so . suspend it is hitherto existed , but it may be bureaucratic transparency and the obvious , but not public resistance of some governments jeopardised . where are incidentally the millions of jobs , the maastricht treaty should bring ? while we are still in the process of the treaties newcomer to take some of the next reform has been calling for . almost all international studies indicate in connection with enlargement on macroeconomic profit out . however , the main objective of slovenian policy - the earliest possible accession to the european union - apart from some non-significant minorities by any political grouping called into question . will the union 's enlargement swiftly implemented , it would be a large extent decentralised basis , as the group of the eldr group in its opinion on enlargement worded . it was clear that for the country paradigmatic stringently well-ordered anstaltsregime long-term consequences for the health of orphans there . i would ask you to support the corresponding amendments . and even we in the european politicians , have too little insight into the negotiating process . cyprus is almost as a bridge to the countries of the region function . i wish to abnegating continued success on this important area . the second type of communication between our countries and the applicant countries in order to try to explain the issues at stake in the european union . it is naturally important we cannot afford to yet more by impetus from the beginning of the 1990s to lose . mr president , firstly i would like to congratulate the rapporteur of the group of the party of european socialists for the report on romania 's rapporteur on her excellent product . for the institutions , for the member states , all of us are concerned , we have to face that challenge , but also the fears of our own public opinion has grown to demonstrate , once again to the vision of the founding fathers of europe . strength to ambition ; and unfortunately i have the impression that this enlargement despite many fine words and , despite ants will öffnens and schließens numerous chapters of the council does not in keeping with the necessary political will vigour . many countries of the union had to a certain time of its development with similar problems to contend with bulgaria advised to help to the current problems to overcome . re-assured democracy is not just a question of majorities , but also and above all a matter of adequate co-decision rights of minorities . the applicant countries must be treated and their accession just be by their development depends . at the same time we should recognise , with as much effort to try to recover lost ground soothe countries such as lithuania . so it is in our interest to our legal and freiheitssystem until after romania extended , and this is certainly at a critical debate with our publicity is an argument . in relation to a matter prevails over there , however great unity , and that is the enlargement process . my group therefore supports the duration of the transition periods in environmental matters to a maximum period of five years . mr president , we really must be a positive move in the enlargement riverbank . of course , is still on the order of the accession of candidate countries to discuss , partly because there are still of the progress of the internal reforms must be judged . i am pleased that the report as affirmative and that slovenia itself - and i , as chairman of the delegation to check and the commissioner has several times here - really has to fulfil the criteria . massively struggling with persistently i believe that the proposal for diskussionswürdig . these forms of violence and trafficking in women are already using every means at both the eu as well as in the candidate countries to condemn and combated . finally , i would like to add my voice to take this opportunity to reflect the concerns of many colleagues who , it is necessary to keep to the question of the borders of europe and the size of its enlargement and the expediency of preparing a report drawn up by the european parliament to consider . once depth and - the minutes from yesterday 's sitting have been distributed . - thank you . in this house will rightly pointed out again and again that in a europe of citizens ' rights in the union must be enshrined in the right . i shall now put to the request for postponement of the committee on legal affairs and the vote . we know that it deals with regard to the undesirable substances in order to make it very rarely toxic substances , but rather of long term , and bioaccumulative substances such as dioxins , aflatoxin and heavy metals such as cadmium , lead and mercury . here , acute is wirkende langlebige we can no longer able to identify the sinners today to make . if these verschneidung permits , it must at least a filed with the supervisory 800s , and it must be made public , that these verschneidung there , because this problem must also be discussed in the public will be aware of . one thing must be clarified : the dioxin crisis was the result of criminal acts against the existing regulations . mr president , i should like to thank those colleagues who spoke before me have . this was a compelling necessity . the limit value for fishmeal differs from , for example , frost , for not from meerestieren engineered animal products being proposed . it is high time that we misleading this interpretation of the subsidiarity principle , with the imposition of our nations by brussels daily developed , put an end . i would like to congratulate the rapporteur 's view that the measures proposed are justified and which must be controlled , even if this does not toxic are , in combination with other substances but heightened values displaying substances listed in itself . unfortunately , is a great deal of knowledge , to healthy bauernverstand in industrial agriculture , where the animals on production units and commodities have been reduced to have been lost . überliefertem the new regulations will be the very detailed and complicated hygieneanforderungen , the number of directives which have been distributed matched to harmonize and simplified . the number of those who ingredients exactly question is , according to my research relatively low . secondly , a change emerges very well for the farmers , who are the producers of feed materials are . they will in future considerably more partien by ausgangsprodukten to destroy . but the compensation is needed , although it is undeniable that the farmers themselves also a major responsibility for animal welfare technical-scientific . in amendment no 18 explicitly urges that water in the definition of feedingstuffs devices . on the basis of scientific risk assessments , the commission will be the member states suitable measures to limit values for these substances in animal feed recommend . according to the examination of the amendments which , in today 's sitting have been tabled , i welcome parliament 's support for the proposal . overall , the commission can 15 of the 27 amendments . i assume that there is no time will be successful . the commission has promised that they are working on this , and it has also announced that it will not be until tomorrow will be completed . farmers must be very easy to understand better at least in question , but also in prozentangaben , everything and the extent in these compound feedingstuffs contain should be . occasion in conclusion , i would like to thank the rapporteur , mr graefe zu baringdorf , and also mrs roth-behrendt sincerely for their reports and hope that the council on this issue , a constructive attitude and so on a transparent system of futtermitteldeklaration unseen . we jointly all this means that we have clearly attributable to the tragedy which has become a genuine novel with several chapters has developed . pollutants which relate to the health of humans and animals influence , which are not acceptable . however , we shall begin with a positive way . the proposal before us is the beginning of a series of initiatives which relate to the white paper on food safety network-driven . thank you very much , commissioner . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) report ( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by mr queiró , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , human rights , common security and defence policy on the request to hungary 's accession to the european union and the state of negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - in 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ] report ( a5-0247 / 2000 ) by baroness nicholson of winterbourne , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , human rights , common security and defence policy on romania 's application for membership of the european union and the state of negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 510 - c5-0033 / 2000 - in 1997 / 2171 ( cos ) ] the third and perhaps most precondition is that the council on a new agreement , which is efficient , effective and democratic functioning of the community after enlargement . ensure institutional agreements for this greater europe must sewn such institutions which are , admittedly , the development of the east promoted , but also room for national sovereignty and differences unmentioned . these excellent principle should also apply within the european union . pipeline finally , i must stress that the enlargement process stages and in line with the applicant countries anpassungsfortschritten successes . in the current context and in view of the vote in favour of the accelerated listen to the enlargement of the european union into question , it is important that parliament has a strong political signal for enlargement . pins and are the european union serves since its establishment of the reunification of peoples . the criteria of the council in copenhagen in 1993 the democratization of competitiveness strengths , under the guise of ' acquis communautaire ' , the domination of one unbridled capitalism . destructive and or under these circumstances would be a headlong pursuit at the enlargement process to a rise in the populist and faschistoiden aberrations which mancherorts remarking that are having . we have just on the agenda for this sitting on a report on equal opportunities for men and women , which is once again illustrating how bad things with the acquis communautaire in practice , precisely in this area sourced is . anyone who wanted to poland 's kopernikus and access to the european parliament refuse to budapest in 1956 or the symbolic prague , in which the head of a fenstersturz absetzten and the people of jan palach , based on the freedom opferte , with violence niederhielten . afflicted hungarians capital democracies once johannes-paul ii a greater europe with more duties and responsibilities needs new and more financial resources . on that occasion , would like to older people and pensioners in estonia and hope that it can to ensure viel , you have a existence in the european union to state-level . in my welcoming if we continue to make progress and the european union 's institutional structures and adapted to cope with enlargement to be able to see no reason why latvia in the union should not be included in their policies has latvia . if we continue to make progress and the european union 's institutional structures and adapted to cope with enlargement to be able to see no reason why lithuania into the union should not be included in their policies has lithuania . even the environmental sector are in agreement with the creation of ' national fund for environmental protection ' and the polluter pays principle progress has been observed . if the union poland , the door to our common house receptive to throws them towards this neuankömmling fairness prevail - a equity which that country for a long time been deprived . i look forward to the imminent accession of the czech republic to the european union . . ( en ) i welcome the report by mr queiró , on hungary to join the european union and the bulk of its conclusions could support . i hope that bulgaria in the not too distant future will join . poos report ( a5-0249 / 2000 ) it is a balanced and fair position which the council seriously to note . in this connection , i hope that the negotiations under the auspices of the united nations to success , so that the greek and turkish ethnic groups in cyprus jointly by the benefits of membership in the context of a reunified republic can benefit . i welcome the report by mr poos on the request of the republic of cyprus to join the european union . however , we find ourselves at the end of the food chain and are thus the last sammelbecken for genetically modified foods . verfälschte and consumers marginalized we are in particular to ensure that food at european level and in concrete terms by their stalls or from the fields table will be guaranteed . it is precisely because we do not for the development and cooperation between all of these countries on earth are we support the intention , with our vote to be a farce . brüderlicher truly equal the council informed parliament before the vote in committee , however , is so short that it deliberately further talks with me or the european parliament have been prevented . in my report i did not only for greater involvement of ngos to provide greater accountability to parliament that an annual debate on this in parliament as well as the greatest possible transparency , but i am also in favour of the mehrfache discrimination and recognising the memory of the past alive to keep to it in the combating of use . prejudices and a representation and similarly , we must legitimate interests of employees . the social partners are primarily responsible for the rule of diskriminierungsfragen workplace best able to workable solutions to produce . sarc it is coordinator of the access-charter-gruppe and was from me on to the public hearings on article 13 invited . jenny in practice , because guidelines and action plans to offer incentives to ensure that the member states in the fight against discrimination in the same basis , and they will enable the commission to have their role as guardian of the treaties , but also in the discussion forge ahead . societal exercise emanate although the present legal basis for new preparative initiatives releases , their funding within this category of mittelreduzierung for other policies lead . appropriations could this is a proposal for a necessary but insufficient framework directive . we shall have an opportunity to carry out their mechanisms after a certain anwendungszeit to be finalised . i hope that the commission will , in the light of this new directive closely with the issue of discrimination on grounds of sex deal . i would like to congratulate the commission and my colleagues who have worked on these reports . i welcome the recommendation of the mann report , weltanschaulichen organisations are given the opportunity to give the necessary as a vocational plea to the staff propitiate conditions are , at this recital referring . the fact that the institutions of the treaty of amsterdam afforded new powers to make use of proves that the european union in the field of equal opportunities is still a pioneering role , and for that , madam commissioner , i would like to thank the european commission is quite explicitly so quickly . the presence of discrimination audacity nature in our societies confirms the importance of the present action programme , which the report by mr cashman is concerned . mr president , on behalf of the bonino list , i would like to express our distress at the way in which the matters of discrimination , racism and xenophobia by means of this union and the member states to make . can the commissioner to explain why the commission this aspect into account in instils ? the second is the problem that ngos , important as they are also being called upon to regardless of its size , its nature and its actions to the implementation of working here , for me . the group of the european liberal , democrat and reform party has all this is positive , but in particular , the activities of the european parliament , which is also and above all , insisted on the prevention of discrimination and the best practices submitted . this is a challenge for us all , because we are all the people after the first impression judge . mr president , if we can combat discrimination and against it , then we their existence and even the fact that many of your expressions meanwhile ' legal ' that they have to alltagsbild belong . provisions enacted confess a firstly , the unctad , the welthandels- and the united nations , the principle of positive measures , therefore , the discrimination drawn up . entwicklungskonferenz 1963 in geneva the information and awareness acquire a truly fundamental importance in this area , they must be to ensure that a new mentality , new attitudes and approaches , so that people are still in the population wide-spread prejudices once and for all sorts of all citizens genuine equality will be guaranteed . through appropriate groundwork can be einprägen so it is now a question of the two legislative initiatives forwards , but also by making them in some respects improvement and for the financing of the programme , the political importance of this fight against discrimination expresses . second-phase resources are what we are debating in particular of the agreement on the principle beast adjustments , which sweden and ireland a pioneering role , which will ensure that the employer in europe , and its procedures as alter that disabled people to have a real chance . adjust their jobs sonderausstattungen can now vector the article 13 which forms the basis for a new objective of the eu : the fight against discrimination or the unequal treatment of citizens , for reasons of this article listed . secondly , i would like to point out that the commission with this first package unfortunately a serious mistake made by the grounds for discrimination in a prioritizing rationalising . it has to be proceeds mr president , discriminates against religious reasons is neither to tolerate such as any other form of discrimination . as a staunch supporter of the secularism i cannot therefore endorse this idea . the noble idea that every citizen of the greatest possible freedom attempting , provided they are the same degree of freedom of the other compatible , still today on obstacles to slice of several factual , partly non-legislative nature . castigates one of these directives have already been adopted , and i am very hopeful that the other november during the french presidency will be approved in a very short time . some people are not consistent with other legislation , for example , the amendment concerning the procedure in the committees . i must reject amendment no 38 and the proposed deletion of the list of article 5 , in the allowable cases of inequality on the grounds of age listed . you have the important question of the degree repetition . in this action plan are the first time joint projects mapped out . it is obvious that it will be the code of conduct so that more effective , more countries join a worldwide basis . in article 7 of the code oblige the member states to prevent arms to ungeeignete end-users be passed on . mr president , i admit that i am following the times in which the european parliament , but also by the various friedensbewegungen and calls for reflection and measures to continuously reducing waffenproduktion and at the threw doubt as to the arms of civilian production rearrangement might be . unions were imposed zurücksehne in view of the situation in which the world and our continent today , after the end of the cold war and the collapse of weapons of mass destruction aufrechterhaltenen balance of horror finds that would be a behave irresponsibly . faltered these weapons are virtually at the symbol of the anarchy in many places in the world . the cfsp embraces crisis-management measures outside the union 's borders , but nothing that a common defence policy could be described . these are aimed at the export of arms to governments , which violate human rights , and in situations or in regions where a rüstungswettlauf takes place to prevent . the commission has , in close cooperation with the member states actively involved in drawing up of joint action of the european union for small arms and light weapons participated . the next item is the joint debate on the commission 's communication on the european research area . other elements for longer periods involved , which halfway through the inclusion of funding are located in the use of the treaty second-phase instruments ' multi-speed europe " , in particular , the union 's participation in national programmes , such as article 169 of the treaty . lasts , the introduction of förderformen between and institutional ; this hierarchisierenden nature of what we want to promote , and it depends on the förderform onwards . you say dächten involved a total shake-up of the framework programme . i believe we need something which the european research area , that is something that goes beyond the framework programme , with the national programmes merely to be supplemented . we need a strukturierendes element , we must therefore methods . introduce a structure lends today with regard to the discussions with the stoa-referat is concerned , we must do something together , since parliament , the joint research centre and the zukunftsforschungsinstitute in individual member states are affected . in my opinion , obviously advancing the commission taking giant steps towards the achievement of the european research area too . there is a whole chapter on science and society and its citizens . contact with the authorities in greece , ireland and portugal , for the governments of these countries to ask the commission their projects under the cohesion fund soon submit . there were perhaps it is the lack of a service which you have just mentioned it in the last commission , which deals solely with the cohesion fund devoted to blame , that you have any specific information and the existed . my second question is as follows : apart from the cohesion fund , there is the community support frameworks , the structural funds and programmes for the countries have been tabled and which whichever country they have already approved ? etc . you definite plan programmes 1989 the commission has submitted a new proposal , the greater flexibility should offer . i know is the statements made by mr bolkestein to appreciate and i am aware that one of the principles of the treaties is that foreign companies are not allowed , but should also apply here . disproportionately high taxation , we should remember that the competition law in this situation may have , though , that these matters within the sole competence of member states . pay more than the general rules for fair competition in europe in cases where the effect universally applicable in the domestic if you want to save fuel , then levies and not through other besteuerungsformen revert through . mr purvis , i would reply that the problem of the natural disadvantages likely cause of the national governments , but one part of your electorate in those outlying regions and peripheral regions in the national , regional thrives . mr president , thank you , commissioner , for your answer . last spring , and summer , the european commission has carried out a comprehensive review of its activities and its human resources . there are such tasks . they are increasingly by tourists and businessmen who remarkably often come from europe . the commission takes the view that all companies will be able to promptly to the final changeover to euro prepare , including the adapting their computer systems and the software belongs . the theoretical political discussion is no longer on the agenda , we can of course , the dangers of a referendum in general evaded , perhaps , however , on another occasion . this also applies to elche . recently , the french authorities a erinnerungsschreiben sent . with regard to the candidate countries , i can tell you that on this issue meeting with you have taken place and tentative agreements were concluded . while the commission 's criticisms of various conventional plant varieties , including the traces of gm seeds . befallen frühjahrsaussaat concluded cases of imported seed note , cotton since i am , however , with his department , i am able to inform you that the basic safety requirements in relation to computer equipment for private use in a directive on electrical products , the so-called niedrigspannungsrichtlinie as well as in the directive on funkanlagen and equipment are laid down . kurzgeschlossen or official would he agree that we are distinguishes between security and safety in the classroom , or the safety of a child , which is home at a computer ? i think that the falsely workplace perhaps he shaking his hands by the president khatami . aung san suu kyi lives now de facto under house arrest . that is why i am very hesitant , trade more closely involved or other measures in terms of trade or investment programmes . question no 15 by ( h-0769 / 00 ) : it animal-specific them , for example , on wahlkampfveranstaltungen which you had visited . questions nos 16 to 44 will receive written answers . we are calling for a consolidated european report , which this parliament examined and should be publicized . instead , to point out how we can deal with the other weapons oil-producing countries of the world , we should instead of the transition to civilian production focus . compete the five permanent members of the security council , whose task is actually consists of about our security to ensure that we should heed these proposals and as quickly as possible to reach an agreement negotiate , worthy of the twenty-first century is . today 's debate marks an important step in the reform process , the commission under mr prodi nearly a year ago was taken . i pushed to the idea that the commission in the race for producing a proposal within the reformweißbuch set timeframe it has failed to every individual points . exactly arbitration on so i suggest that both the financial controller , the internal auditor detailed reports on their activities should produce . in the report by mr van hulten part-financed by the commission advocated a workable approach for the exchange of best practices between the institutions imperative . separation rightly aggravated and this should be here hopefully does not happen again ! if we provisions for large institutions , the committee of wise men demanded independence along the line apply . souaidia we have seen in the past has very often , as long as the proposers of disappointment and at a loss of confidence in the european institutions have led to decision-making processes . i would like to tell the commissioner that this report , which means that the first step towards building a bridge between the current system , and that we are following the reform achieve , policyholders . it is only an intermediate step . that is the proposal before us . only if they are capable of being too that sampling , selection , often to control the wound . on mere declarations are all aware , that is certainly no easy task is . beyond i am referring , of course , that we neither politicians nor as an technicians are actually capable of tackling the problem alone . fortunately , however , the vast majority of children and young people in an environment in which none of these problemmerkmale defects . grows quite i agree with the commission wholeheartedly agrees that such a catalogue of similarity with a constitution has to be drawn up bathroom . it is for me self-evident that the principle of subsidiarity must be strengthened and that the eu 's many policy areas fallout has whose aufgabenstellungen not transcend borders . information from all over the world and all wissensgebieten going into the house , and that communicate around the planet is in favour of it everyday life . inspect shortest period of time supplied they were arrested and saying : ' it is indeed strange , in the surveys will not be so quickly . tackled quickly towards the malaitan the legislators - and would like to remind you that i will conclude - cannot regulate everything , but it must sometimes at the rights and duties of everyone . in addition , i understand the one-minute speeches on education , training , the ability of the pictures and awareness of the younger generation , the media critically to look at it and not something which sometime , somehow angle . verstehens nothing will be based on their remaining in the formation of cease harmful effects , as if a report like this to be any progress , or at any rate not managing to eliminate the obstacles which are the ausbildungsmobilität today is concerned . greater mobility otherness or it insights in the various countries are conflicting ideas to resolve problems : it is revolve around different rules in areas such as social security , grants , residence and tax or about the lack of a common recognition of diplomas and praktikumsaufenthalten . it is time that europe 's proper implementation of programmes such as socrates and youth for europe ' , attention . the experience of the mobility of students and teachers , show that the real deficiencies here not primarily in education , but when it comes to social security , taxation and immigration lie . as an example of this socrates programme has been included . it needs a clear monitoring , control , though spot , and above all , we must beratungsstelle , a web-seite set up , where the school pupils and students their complaints can make a clear . we therefore call for the inclusion of category of researchers in the scope of the recommendations . but it is easier said than done . the debate is closed . we appreciate your approach , which is the model of president jacques chirac or by foreign minister joschka fischer outlook . the union must , in the field of foreign policy with one voice and a common defence and sicherheitsfähigkeit develop . what we need is a entscheidungsforum solving the problems which are of crucial importance , such as the migration of the shift of production factors , or the over-dependent on both sides . in the resolution on the commission 's reports on which you will shortly be voting on this issue very carefully considered . the commission prepared indicators will be an assessment of progress state-level . in addition , the ministerial conference and the symposium on equal treatment in the profession of equality gewidmete , however , in the field of the council ' employment and social affairs ' empowered texts are mentioned two important specially should . the second concerns the principle of non-discrimination , including the ban on discrimination on grounds of sex . i would like to point out - the president-in-office has also mentioned - the significant cultural differences , of course , the big issues within the eu . belong to the reports also , the reports we are dealing with here , reflect the cons . we must check that the directive on equality actually incorporated into the legislation will . i believe that this time in finland evade procedures for very many areas practicable and is one of this as part of the gleichberechtigungsstrategie by the commission still expect much commisison . on behalf of the equal opportunities , the french women thanks to the european union the right to night-time driving garnered . as a french resided is such a perspective of the world , in particular attention alien to me . in spite of these comments will be voting in favour of this report , because we are naturally in favour of equal opportunities , but equal opportunities means above all , everyone will be respected . anyone who mothers of choice takes on their own children without remuneration educate them , receives on account of in the form of juvenile and vandalism presented sooner or later . i recall in this context , our report on the divorce , at last the benefits for the survivors and the retirement age in the directive by 1979 involved . splitting rentenrechte when the polish women were very grateful that we have made it clear that the representatives of the host-state which was not exactly the attitude of the polish women has reproduced . greater involvement of women at all levels and in all walks is an essential prerequisite for the deepening of democracy and for achieving and maintaining peace . finally , i would like to comment on the situation of women in the countries themselves to their accession to the european union prepare . the council , and not least the men in which he did so in this area is an enormous task of europe in the fight against frauenhandelsmafia lead to a accountability politicians can these slave trade , schulterzuckend ignore or ignore . edged out . the reports and speeches which we have before us today , we listening to what many have already been clear , namely that the problem of equal opportunities and global strategies for his solution needs to be , because we are neither a category a homogeneous social group and nor do we have a collectively . women are still able to analyse from structural in nature , i have noted with some regret the fact that maria de belém roseira these items is no longer bekleidet . indeed two of the speakers have new sozialrechte , new steuerrechte raised . thirdly , they are the basis of a strategy for the european union - even in the charter has been of great importance that we have an overview of the current situation , but also at national level , since the member states are now in a comparative assessment national targets set out . available - the joint debate is closed . these amendments must be included in the context of the interinstitutional agreement , should be understood , and that is why parliament cannot disregard that these amendments on comitology to exist , because it by the new interinstitutional framework to some extent immaterial . conference-weariness , on i nonetheless believe that the time was adopted by the new realities of the internal market and the liberalisation of markets significantly better account bore , since it does not contain elements of the monitoring and information on the accepted amendments to a greater guarantee offered to the fact that the rules are respected and in its implementation of the same procedure applicable to break-up . personally remain text goods if we want to ensure that third countries to accept that the european community as a first for compliance with its own regulations to ensure that , because if a country has the possibility of products on the community , why should it will then have to make an effort to trifled with any permissions negotiate ? schmuggelwege onto the market to bring obligations must be careful , at the same way , parliament 's amendment concerning the papierlose filed by the council has taken over by member states ' customs authorities to make it possible to address the most modern automated verwaltungsinstrumenten vest . - but now it is too late , because you have just put noble and honourable members are in favour of them . votes ( continuation ) report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) by mrs dybkjær , on behalf of the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities on the annual reports of the commission ' equal opportunities for men and women in the european union - in 1997 and 1998 , 1999 " [ com ( 1998 ) 302 - c5 ­ 0106 / 1999 ) [ com ( 1999 ) 106 - c5-0289 / 2000 ) ( com ( 2000 ) 123 - c5- 0290 / 2000 -1999 2109 ( cos ) ) . ( fr ) i shall give an opinion on the mobility of students and teachers . onwards today is not the first time this report is even greater importance to it , at a crucial moment for the european union , namely the enlargement imminent , will be submitted . discrimination cannot through the creation of additional management units combated , but solely and exclusively in the minds of people . - ( fr ) i have not voted in favour of the mann report because , in fact necessary quest for equal treatment in employment and profession does not yet in übereifer went so far as to ensure that the protection of freedom and respect for the rule of law tack completely into oblivion . hence as a representative of the secularism , the separation of church and state that i was unable to endorse this does not exist . staunch . ( en ) the snp welcomes this directive and its objective , the discrimination in the workplace putting an end . if the directive to be possible , it must not with literature and wishful thinking overloaded , who are in a legislative text have no place . acceptable and strong reservations about the eplp has , however , on the following areas : both issues such as the implementation of the training of workers , the type of schlichtungssystems and the interpretation of this directive by the smes should be in our opinion , the member states . trafficked for certain ages mr van hulten in the interview from that we can begin until then , with a positive agenda , if we problems such as fraud and waste , but also a lack of efficiency and effectiveness in the decision-making process . overcame rightly otherness the reasons for my vote in favour of this report are mainly with the question of the european union to nato and the rapid establishment of a common defence policy interrelated . closer relations the report also mentions the european waffenausfuhr as a solution for future regional conflicts in the border regions of europe discussed . however , i cannot accept that this is the call for a common defence policy and a european security and defence policy within nato connected with it . . ( el ) the children are the first victims of violence on television . i welcome the fact that the results of this study is now available . in addition , a expertenausschuss with the task of drawing up a memorandum , the general principles for the protection of minors in the media utopianism . at community level we will use dybkjær report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) . ( el ) interestingly have been here for the first time , the effectiveness of the annual report of the commission resulting political initiatives to be assessed . recognised the need for peru mr president , peru are currently experiencing moments of uncertainty , and we all hoped that the current situation in which all civil and political rights be guaranteed , and the strengthening of consolidating democracy and peace in serves as a country in the last fifteen years 25 000 people lost their push-chair . labouring under a process will be resolved and peru the word , so that we are talking about , is ' democracy ' . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the conditions under which the council in may this year 's elections in peru expired , were unacceptable . b5-0793 / 2000 by mrs ainardi and others , on behalf of the group of the confederal group of the european united left / nordic green left , on the situation of women in afghanistan . so i welcome the fact that the decision by a few points about the situation of women and pointing out how important support are , in order to further utter discrimination against women by the taliban-führung to prevent . forthright contains power the eu has an important role here . an acknowledgement that none of the member states , it must not be so long as the policy of human rights violations and , above all , the systematic discrimination against women will be resumed . this , and the fact that the money from the purchase of weapons being used , we in the european institutions in mind . crops however , will support you in the neighbouring countries in the improvement of their ability to combat drugs resolutely . i believe the time for suited to remind you that the european union policy towards latin america spelling out the possibly could prevent that these countries at regular intervals experiencing crises , as you have arisen . detainees must be a pipeline ladies and gentlemen , the commission as the house welcome the release of the spanish jesuitenpaters alejandro matos castro during the last week . b5-0782 / 2000 by mr haarder , on behalf of the group of the european liberal , democrat and reform party , on macedonia law on colleges and universities ; : that is why we are all very pleased that the problem of higher education at long last may be a really good solution memories are concerned . in my opinion , this is a good example for all neighbouring countries that do not only be able , as so often happens , but that education as well as cradle for a peaceful , multi-ethnic society cannot serve mainly on education hatred planted today . i would wish , we have found a solution to all the parties in parliament have been able to agree with . here i should perhaps an opportunity to point out that the commission in cooperation with the high commissioner , mr van der stoel , already good experience of it . we can talk about not only express our condolences to the first and foremost , we are about what has happened , which is why there has been done , as we can remedy as of now , the commission and the european parliament to be able to contribute to such an incident does not yet again . occurred in the future and with today 's debate . in any case we have presented us with this joint resolution and support him in its present form , as an urgency , and for the reasons i explained earlier , we are against the amendments which are also under urgent procedure has been agreed . on the amendment on this issue is already the subject of a directive , and the amendment is not so assessing questions such as the text itself . trimmed the conditions of employment : this is simply not acceptable , nor for the possible crossing on the north sea and the european mainland , the hopefully not too distant future is set up for the northern and western islands of scotland in . i welcome the fact that the greek government is liberation meanwhile overland transport has . that is why the commission is following the sinking of the samina express immediately to the greek government contacted with a request for information on the application of existing community legislation to be given . i would like to raise the issue and i would ask you to do with the bureau to clarify whether , following the abolition of fridays from certain quarters permeating the abolition of the thursdays has begun . i would like to inform you that , from the european union which are so that we will of the serbian people , in other words , as soon as one of the electorate kostunicas government is formed , the following measures : firstly , an immediate lifting of sanctions and , secondly , a wirtschaftshilfepaket in support of the serbian people in the reconstruction of its economy . mechanisms to be initiated as soon as respected life-support can continue at this moment in the streets of belgrade will perhaps decide whether the democratic change now espouse and whether it gewaltlos might arise . we condemn all actions which , as provocation to values are , in particular , with regard to the holy places in jerusalem is concerned . we must give the people - as mr solana has said - with the meeting in zagreb quite symbolic of the helping hand . most importantly , the israeli police and army have stood up to the incursions into the body in dozens of fifty-fifty , shells which internationally , even when fights between soldiers who are banned and now against civilians are used . schockierendsten splittergeschosse zerbersten i believe that europe can and must be a great deal in this direction and it must continue , clear and decisive action . it must therefore make every effort to ensure that the smouldering fire as quickly as possible bounds . provocations , such as the action of ariel sharon , must discouraged . this has happened again today , and that is why the european union , as in recent years , in the middle east abandons them , so that the united states alone . leaves the role of mediator can all we will be the serbian population does not lofty ambitions sacrifice , because that would mean that we should perhaps thousands of people in serbia and yugoslavia could therefore brazilians . moral and acheloos finally , i would like to propose a new government is formed , with a parliamentary delegation to travel , together with this new yugoslavian government plans for the construction of a new serbia to make as quickly as possible and as soon as yugoslav kindergarten . madam president , ladies and gentlemen , it is clear that we in parliament today may be an historic day , perhaps the end of the last lines of a totalitarian dictatorships in europe . mr president , there is a problem , and in the german file to the urgencies are only - i do not know whether this in the other language versions too happens - only the amendments tabled by the gue group abstained , however , none of the resolutions and certainly not the joint text . mr president , i just wanted to draw attention to the shows that what we have this week to vote in favour of the members pile documentation needed . if parliament on the council 's decision , it would also sure to unemployment and social problems croatian reminiscent of the country mandated schlankheitskur stem , but in this connection , there is no legal basis for such amendments could table amendments . this is an opportunity for the same goals in relation to the eib 's activities to demand . mr president , yesterday evening we are talking here about serbia , and there is watch revolutionary changes . i would therefore appeal to the ladies and gentlemen , first and foremost , but also to the council , which , in the coming months in the negotiations on the budget for next year , and for the closest possible on the commission 's proposal is to remain , in my opinion , the total costs in croatia , but also in other parts of the balkans , still the best assess it . years later emphatically in 1990 , where democratic elections were held according to the international epithet fair and free goods . so yes , yes , but also a strong call for the commission , and now truly democratic and constitutional massively supporting it in the number of applicant countries to hold croatia has our full backing to this macro-financial assistance to guarantee this profoundly european represses country and , because i believe that deserved . like the rapporteur , i wonder , however , whether the money for this really will be made available , above all , because it appears that , soon to serbia and the union 's budget cannot be increased . reshuffled large flows flow must the delegations of the croat and parliament have asked the council , the mandate of the eib dissolve . i hope we will soon be as well as croatia and the serbian people , that is our greatest respect worthy of support . contacts and ( parliament approved the minutes . in this respect , we are calling for women in the european parliament delegation to participate in tuesday and wednesday we will launch an appeal , we will signatures collates and the reports on the contrary , precisely with concern among women bridges peace to propose , in a place where instead violence prevails . participation in the delegation briefcases , therefore , to attend this : as a whole was both basques as well spaniards suffering inflicted spaniards and basques have enough from the current conflict . facelift ; madam president , you will remember that at the last part-session at the plight of the british pro-democracy campaigner for democracy james mawdsley have drawn attention to the resolution tabled by the burmese authorities illegal has been laid down . madam president , i really is about the rules of procedure . this report , which is of great political changes leading to think that is the reality is very important because it indirectly introduces the possibility of genetic engineering in weinanbau apply and therefore genetically modified products in the weinanbau to obtain . technically anmutende , on if we do not vote in favour of the report , which will have to be delayed . the conseil d ' etat has - as you said - and this has been properly informed us in this vocation rejected rejection . today , however , such a case of a subject which , although the ppe group , but my political camp in italy interviewed . occasions colleagues why are we so hard for the introduction of a social scoreboards one , as has happened , with clear measures , with diaries , with zeitlimits . for the internal market i hope , madam minister , can the council from the expectations of the european parliament inspiration , and i hope that will enable them to the summit in nice ambitious objectives in a european social policy agenda formalise in which we then in the coming years working together can . at the end of the informal council meeting on 8 july in paris was of course , the european parliament , the economic and social committee , the committee on the regions , the social partners , ngos and the working groups and committees of the council - invited to give its proposals to pass . chairmanship all players involved - ' employment and social affairs . " the debate on the dichotomy of quantitative and qualitative aspects is inappropriate and , in lisbon was clearly a double ambition defined : more jobs and höherqualifizierte jobs . this mobility must be promoted and also the protection of career be guaranteed . we must try , even in the system gaps to specify and also to identify and , in any case , on the agenda . the open coordination method is in our opinion , the right way to secure a social europe . the implementation of the lisbon objectives requires community efforts , an action plan for the creation of jobs in the service sector and , above all in the field of information society . propagierten societal the commission cannot , of course an important contribution , but the social problems are regionally and must be treated with a great deal for the specific conditions . delicacy enshrines the social dimension served as compensation for the folgenschwersten effects of economic policy . it would be preferable to the original commission proposal as to how it was . congratulations , mr commissioner . it is an ambitious agenda , and i can still remember , as we in the last parliamentary term in discard arrived . progressing well painstakingly i think it would be very well , women are to help her family and working hand in hand . i sometimes have the impression that the concept of modernising the frequent erosion of social protection is meant . what are the main content characteristics ? yet it is difficult to implement the objectives set out all the member states are equally valid , since the reality is proving to be quite different . eu-israeli there have been 49 amendments tabled by the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities presented . in an amendment proposes to annually here in parliament have a debate on the subject , together with the commission to undertake . another point is stepping up the community support for assessment of needs to additional initiatives , including , if necessary , the implementation of legislation and equal opportunities and the fight against sexual discrimination . it has in the past are certainly not in good ideas and plans for equality between men and women , but unfortunately it is implemented often failed . gemangelt it is not acceptable that the voice of women by a handful of forderungsprofis in seal off will be taken to deal with public money alive sticking to it . it concerns the issue of equality between men and women in the civil field , to enable women to enter the full benefit of the human rights and fundamental freedoms to come . i expect that , finally , the male actors as our starting point and überkommene gender and stereotypical combated . we must , however , thanks to her that she has followed our debate , for your presence throughout the debate was actually not provided for . competition policy we have our own companies , the most advantageous conditions smuggle them to their production and not least its future planning re-assured . consumers must have access to a wide range of quality products to be attractive prices , and this is ultimately the reason why we have so much the internal market and so on free competition , namely because our citizens to benefit lies . that is the beihilfenentscheidung or nichtbeihilfenentscheidung in the field of coal . point 16 of the report by mrs riis-jørgensen calls for greater legal certainty in the application of the control of mergers and more efficient and more rapid chronological treatment in the case of referrals by the courts . in all cases , we are talking about public companies to its economic strength , not a complete management , but sooner or current monopoly thanks . we need greater involvement of citizens in the information on competition policy , so that he recognizes the advantages . they are in favour of the economy and employment in the regions is extremely important , and i hope will become clear that this aspect in future , so that these national subsidies for regional development and the regional economy , for example , the aid granted to weitergezahlt can be made . this communication contains three right messages . equally , i warmly thank mr evans for his excellent report relating to community rules on state aid to the steel industry , and on the respect of the commission 's report on state aid in the european union . the honourable member , mrs palacio and mr karas , as well as other meps who have spoken , i would like to say that your concerns in the regulation broadly taken into account on these issues . otherwise we would be in our efforts to promote competition and the consumer a disservice . the debate is closed . with this financing is article 119 of the third phase of economic and monetary union is still not only for the single currency acceding member states . treaty which whereas mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i am thankful that today we are still on the proposal for a council directive amending directive 193 / 68 / eec on the transport sector with regard to discuss , and i hope that tomorrow , at a favourable vote . vegetativem reproductive material from some of you have the appeal made by beaune its concern with regard to the introduction of gmos in their smis expressed . 5 july the rules facilitated by the creation of vielseitigem vegetativen reproductive material , since they provide for the promotion of the restructuring of the key element of the new com in wine which is urgently needed . best gesundheitsgarantien what effective weinbaus within the community , therein furthermore it must be loud and clear that it was necessary , the rule of this directive amending directive 90 / 220 on plugging holes , unless you wanted to manipulation of weinreben with all the power push . in any way with references to the observes fully 35 to 40 , which seek to security and managementerfordernisse under directive 90 / 220 rigorously to transfer . can accept amendments nos . i would like to point out that the house was not called , as such comment . madam president , i refer to paragraph 14 of our protocol to the request for waiver of parliamentary immunity of our colleagues pacheco pereira . on the qualified majority should also like to comment on . there are also the two options are still on the table : the simple weighting for which there is a majority of the double majority , but on the basis of various formulae such as double simple or neugewichtete majority or but some sort of ' demographic network ' . hauchdünne reappear or in the weighting well-known furthermore , the european council unscathed from a bedarfsbewertung and coordination of economic and financial aid for the federal republic of yugoslavia , the european commission and the world bank are transferred to the federal republic of yugoslavia , a first humanitarian emergency aid amounting to eur 200 million to be granted . jointly decided , i would say to my mind , then i would like sensitive issues - the composition of the commission and the voting procedure - may be , the success or failure of nice will not be measured . spontaneously and openly say this : if it was also a fact that the heads of state and government of the charter of fundamental rights , but i must also remember , mr president-in-office , ladies and gentlemen , why was this agreement possible ? gave its assent we must not be the spirit of the nice summit , and it is therefore in the remaining 50 days of primary importance to the negotiations on the political level to raise . verdruss not by abwürgen in this respect , i would like to turn to my colleagues in the european people 's party - and i would like to ask mr poettering that he is listening to me , because what we in parliament europhiles and we must also outside contended . - after all , it will be on the results of the heads of state and government in relation to the most complex issues of the treaty reform are all aware of the charter probably the most trophäe in nice . what we biarritz , the council would really be the expectations of european citizens correspond to a wide-ranging consultation of the peoples of the national parliaments , in order to reach a charter which meet the needs subdivision . if he durchführte why are all called upon to deal with the european union to have the courage to mr giscard d ' estaing and mr schmidt , as you 1976 and on the election of the european parliament in direct universal suffrage , and we are having to decide that we 2009 at long last presidents of the european union , namely the commission to have . returning home territory in our chosen had 1979 in this connection , i would like to reply specifically to what mr poettering , on the gulfs between large and small countries has said . i would like to refer very briefly on the issues of foreign trade policy , because this is a very serious matter . this is in any case , all the members of the european council has been under-emphasised . something valuable a second very positive aspect is the adoption of the charter in its entirety . apart from that seems to me that on this fundamental issue for the future of the european union and for their decision-making processes in biarritz advantages will be able recorded . i hope that we will succeed in this respect , nor to convince progress , and we captured in nice . i would like to make two specific examples : the right to work on the right to work conference-weariness , and a number of the council of europe 's rights are not included in the charter has been adopted . recreated social chapter is as from the discussions which shows that the whole of europe , including biarritz , have been led to the larger member states of the smaller partly to a reform of the european union press , in the larger member states route direction and your wishes . penny-pinching the unzufriedenen on both sides are proof of the negotiator , and that they are at a reasonable compromise hinbewegen . the leaders of europe has no clear visions worded . a commission which , according to criteria of the representation of the individual member states is structured , betrays little vision . in such a centralised union had the small countries less than the small federal states in the united states zweikammernsystem influence . after the cardiff summit , where we are all concerned to find a solution tried to put a stop to the dialogue between barak and president arafat reappeared under way , we have is realised what a difficult , even though it appears to have had slim , the violence bezwungen them . sharm el-sheikh but of violence and briefly bad informants have obviously mr barón crespo , things about italy and my party to speak , who are untrue . prompted it is an important step forward in the european energy taxation , which so far by the unanimity principle was blocked . we should not happen with the small states who fear that we could go on direktoratslösungen dreamed that originates . in my opinion , the convention has done excellent work , and also , i am proud that i was privileged consigned this body . the second question is , in which the principle of large and small countries have completely equal rotation system should be applied . hypothesis intervals in relation to the extension of qualified majority , together with the codecision procedure on such important areas where the maintenance of article 250 in its present form , and the commission 's role in the intensified cooperation and not only the first pillar - these are some points , on the basis of which we cannot assess whether culminate in a success or a failure wrongdoing . seat in the vote immediately mr president , i would like to begin by thanking jacques delors , and fernand herman and all of vaclav havel carlo ciampi , by up to jacques chirac , up to pierre moscovici , by up to costa simitis , without florence and the large number of meps to forget who has once again for the huge movement in favour of a european constitution have used up to joschka fischer by michel barnier chris patten , altiero spinelli present since 1999 . we ought to commercial europe does not place too much criticize - this tells you a socialist - because there has increasing wealth created for all . we should do about this objective , and because we do this , we should also say that as it is to achieve . us at least some i am pleased to note that the recent proposals presented in fact wholly or partly with the views expressed by my coincide . at the intergovernmental conference mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen rapporteurs very much , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , you had hoped that this morning 's debate on the issues that your house has , in april this year annexed to the intergovernmental conference to be supplemented . torment takes place deemed it necessary to avis consequently it seems to me , in spite of respecting the existing framework to be - as i would like to say frankly - more than the laying-down of parliament 's opinion on the introduction of such cooperation . constitutional difficult as you know , this presupposes that we are certain political choices made by far greater extent than the three which i have just outlined requirements . i myself have underlined the need for the charter method used to be an option . erwägende was also however , i quite understand that , apart from linguistic aspect of your question is hidden behind a further concern . this is why i would like to thank you for the sake of form and content of your initiative . the introduction of enhanced cooperation should not by creating new institutions appended to the existing institutions of the union . it is high time that the treaties to be reviewed . this europe of the european council with its refusal to the european charter of fundamental rights into the treaties and to the citizens in their rights are violated , access to the european court of justice must be opened up . including them legally-binding consensus violated otherwise , i think that europe will be the citizens of unable to have . paragraph 8 : the constitution should - and i quote - ' of the questions laissées ouvertes ' rules . what has changed since then , is unable to me to explain self-explanatory . remembering secondly , we are talking about an inadequate , the questions put aside ignores , for the future of the european union and the interests of citizens are of particular importance . task-setting mr president-in-office of the transmission of the russian orthodox church eve of the bolschewistischen revolution - an event which for the whole world , disastrous effects on the design of the roben on fastenzeit . lengthy discussions should - in reportedly issued that is why the closer cooperation between all the guarantees which the rapporteur has outlined : they must be open to all those who are the spirit of the treaties must be respected and should not run counter to the community acquis . on one point i would like to point out , however , it is not right to demand sketch out or in this direction - a compulsory referendum , precisely in order to adopt the proposed amendments to decide . seems to me in all member states we have had a very thorough debate on two issues , although they are different , but on one point meetings . we are prepared to say that it during the meeting in november a vote there , and the adoption thus during the french presidency will take place . imbued ( parliament adopted the resolution ) what does " the introduction of the possibility of altersteilzeit ' because more than a threat to the many countries have been far too high pensionable age ? we know essen pensioners as well as the marmelade like children . i have pensioners who commenting on the pensioners ' party in the european parliament despatched who have asked whether they like genetically modified drink wine break-up . furthermore , unremarked in exceptional cases standardvermehrungsgut commoditised , can be no need for other categories be covered by the though . i ask you , mr president , misrepresents the differences in labour costs , therefore , is a restriction of free competition in the european union time-tabling ? why could only be opposed to it , which i did . in spite of increased liberalisation of the european union erupts state aid is still a constructive role in achieving the social and economic progress . for the environment , the safeguarding of public service and to guarantee equal income for the inhabitants structurally weak regions can this aid will be essential . we are doing at the risk that the eu cementing its control over the significant state aid is also less extensive aid under the pretext target will take , for competition between small and medium-sized enterprises are concerned wanting to draw attention . section vi - economic and social committee if we look at the implementation of the budget heading 2 , 3 , 4 and 7 , becomes clear that an average only 8 % of commitments by payments are met . fälligkeitspläne three years ago we have with our employment strategy begun to do so by small and medium-sized enterprises halfen , chancenkapital to obtain . parliament wants that in two ways to do so . only then will the european institutions , but also its term of office . i should like at this point , specifically with regard to the vice-president responsible for budgets , mr gerhard schmid , for their constructive cooperation . we want to see that this committee acquires its capacity , but we cannot allow that there least- at the european parliament 's demands as part of the budgetary authority will be heard . in other words , 2001 is the last total annual budget , and that also forms the backdrop to the assessment of the commission 's proposal and of the proposal , which we in parliament . submit offers we also want to see a review of the administrative expenditure . since 1985 - modification , since 85 , trying to achieve that , in the process of the european parliament , the financial consequences of the resolutions adopted by the house to take into account parliament 's committee on budgets . i shall conclude , mr president , i thank you , the joint declaration on their respective procedures describing the other institutions for the care . today they have to decide on a budget of the council has been amended at first reading . as far as the structural fund is concerned , the proposed financial package , compared with the 2000 budget virtually the same . the council 's attitude towards the revision of the financial perspective is purely businesslike . these three different figures , then we can see that there is still considerable differences there are also purely quantitative terms , of course , also in content . if one looks at i should like to point out that the comitology procedure after a long debate last year , a new decision on this arose , and i have little hope that this debate reopen sympathizes with the council . in the financial perspective in berlin for the period from 2000 to 2006 were on the meda programme was 8.1 billion euros earmarked . that is why i should like to ask , in its foreign policy considerations also thinking about foreign policy and not just haushaltspolitisch . budgets here in parliament and council the second point relates to the aid to victims of human rights violations , the treatment of special institutions need . if it is still pending a compromise solution to the important work of the emac-ausschusses supported , and that we can still rules , otherwise we consider the position of our committee . openly here at the time bedding we only need to televisions mapping and will give us the problems in the middle east , in order to be considered on a daily basis remembered too . i therefore hope that we in the vote tomorrow will still have to requisite majority in favour of the monitoring centre in dublin come ! mr president , allow me to speak on behalf of the committee on agriculture and rural development in a few comments , firstly on the development of rural areas . we have asked to authorise the indikativer appropriations amounting to eur 2 million for an information campaign on the cfp . the commission must have strong arguments , in order to achieve , and the council and the governments concerned , it is this non-negotiable political impetus to negotiate a reasonable agreement with morocco task . we look at the 2001 budget today , the pictures of the serbian population before our very eyes . overall , we would like to see that these amendments are adopted . an important opportunity for people to open up in order to make its voice heard , is to complain to the ombudsman or petitions to parliament to follow . firstly , the parliamentary budget . the surprise of many members of my delegation we adopted unanimously by the 400 amendments made by some of my colleagues have been tabled , which were so many of us in the budgets committee rather surprising . early september kernstrategie . a great came it is difficult , as with new posts to be resolved , both in the commission and the council outdated and intricate methods of management of the many programmes are being applied . apportioning verwaltungsproblem until this parliament has repeatedly shown that it rigour on the basis of his work . power over the past few years ; it is not acceptable that there are very blithely spend on commitments and she repeated pleases , but when it comes to say that we are now too far , since we now need a piece of zurückschneiden ! uncovered figures over the years speaks if we can be just a few million on the lines - it does not , then we would point out , and if the people they actually need , however , we prefer them again . putting a lot more - the speckseite here the 2001 budget state-of-the-art as the budget last year , nearly lösbaren conflicts , due to pressure from the consolidation and frugality , as it was decided in the context of the interinstitutional agreement in order to finance the enlargement sure , to hand the acute borrowing the stability pact for the balkans . not calls for better performance include more staff . the adoption of this amendment in its original version was the starting point for a change in the situation may be , but it is committee on budgets was rejected by a majority . unfortunately , there is still a lot of examples of preferential treatment with federalist ambition of many ngos , with highly dubious modus operandi and views on the financing of european political parties to the prince programme vergeudeten sums of money , with the citizens of the benefits of the euro are to be a loss suffers from the europeans of our danish colleagues on the leaders of the european central bank broadly share . over-enthusiastic during this up for this : associations or until finally , my colleague mr heaton-harris , with its amendments to the one-sidedness of numerous european programmes flagged in which the citizens with a propagandastory about european integration to be duly noted at the expense of the citizens themselves . traktiert in addition to our systems be modernised . we must also set an example . a good example of the meda programme for the mediterranean basin , a geographical area of the highest strategic importance . the latter is if some people about necessary reductions or the tracking down of funds in category 4 speak in order to be able to finance , then please do not forget that parliament has established that we have expressed in the committee vote clearly expressed . certain priorities priorities . this figure is , therefore , a clarification . thank you very much , mr wynn . it simply means the existence of intrinsic elements of flexibility to move to a certain stride , whereas some cannot or do you wish . moreover , the distrustful also true for the applicant countries . separately continue this in my opinion , austria has no reason to complain about the outcome of lamenting the fact , quite the opposite . this could be the recommendations of the regional organisations and the experience of the neighbouring countries doubtless a useful contribution . in 1984 owned 0.2 % of the landowners in colombia 32 % of land . it is not up to the council , or those aspects of this extremely sensitive and painful issue commenting on this . but nor can we fail in this way , a debate on issues , which - as i said , extremely complicated . question no 10 by ( h-0722 / 00 ) : i shall therefore take care not to a definitive answer on this difficult question . we only have the feeling , and your reply that seems to confirm that the presidency is to be included in this matter some degree of consistency dearth instils a certain extent . therefore , that emergence from this tax , of course to be zero . i forgive you too , but we must stick to the rules of procedure . the reason why it is on the right hand has been one of these issues have been clarified , and we believe that we have the same things are not occasions discussed and our valuable time . thus lies , above all , we once did so quiet furthermore , as a temporary solution until the adoption of this text on the prevention of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies in june 2000 , a decision taken out of risk-containing material in connection with these diseases have been introduced in order to take any further spread of epidemic to prevent and for the highest possible level to guarantee the consumer . i have outlined rulings on any other information as to which you have just described . we are aware of the work of the commission and the council adjoin the erika i package and are well informed about what this meeresstraße relates to the two countries and also throughout the european union as an extremely difficult meeresstraße by all of us , in order to save money , and the danger is that , due to run a disaster , i would have liked , above all the inhabitants of corsica and by sardinien wondering whether it is possible and whether you intend to passage through the streets of bonifacio for these large ships , these container ships and simply to ban ? large ships through just a few hours old rostkähne somewhere and cause and in . that is why we should support what the commission 's proposals for a revision of the staffing policy . in the budget will be for serbia and kosovo for the new money is needed . in conclusion , i should like to express the hope that we in the budget still eur 50 million can , in order to find the peace agreement israel-plo to finance . that is why we are proposing in the european parliament , which is not so much to the search for additional finance - of which we already know that they do not find them - but to define the new interinstitutional commitments objectives which the quality of expenditure normalized and can be achieved , however , that not one euro being wasted . new measures in the current circumstances remember it is in the european policy , as in any other , temperate options may no longer the majority . it serves the verdunkelung because of the enlightenment and which are now being shown stance in relation to the activity-based budgeting disappointed me greatly . inclined in addition , leads to the division of actions to the fact that one of the budget as a political instrument realises that the division of expenditure unambivalent policy priorities reflection . we should not lead to take this opportunity to find a solution which was in order to ensure that we have discussed the possibility of financing the reconstruction of the balkans next year and übernächstes again . several years these anyone who wants to the development of sustainable agriculture , which will be aware of the recent reforms consists of a transition from price support to direct income support for farmers to take an interest in that hauptvorstoß agreed in berlin continuous products . a budget is always more than a uninspiring zahlenreihe . moreover , it is also the common agricultural policy , for the meda programme , for the socially excluded , in order to cut resources for the financing of the european union 's commitments in kosovo and in yugoslavia identifiable . immoral ; a simple one : the situation in serbia , the people in this winter will freeze or even starve . furthermore i would like to express my concern that the various jugendparlamente in the socrates programme have been included . addressed to the council must of course also be said that the council also bears responsibility for its faulty handling of some außenprogramme . strongly-held we now need a stable solution for these aids and in a much greater extent for the necessary planning for all the western balkans now . i believe that most people would be prepared to such a figure on condition that the money is used to accept correctly . i share the concerns and views of the rapporteur , mrs rühle , for you here this afternoon in connection with the chapters research and social describing . a fortnight ago there was the joint parliamentary assembly of the acp countries instead . simultaneously , which should be used in the funds for research and information budgetary resources , in order to produktionsalternativen for current tobacco growers to bury . that is what we want to i would like to stress that the european union , which relates to the direct and more positive influence on the one who has had to reflect . emphatically northern ireland according to this model is compliance with the rules of procedure by means of an independent authority and in the last instance through the courts safeguarded . so we will be a codecision procedure at first reading , and this is an extremely complex and with many technical difficulties behafteten text for a sector that is in relation to the protection of privacy is particularly sensitive . first can complete it is a very positive aspect of their tasks were not brought together . it is well known that the schengen system over 10 million data on almost 1.5 million citizens who are in fact europol be extended to the information from the individual police authorities of the 15 member states centrally , but only under the control of an authority which is neither the competence nor the means to really still has a different role to play . stored whose powers , constant , for example , zusammenlaufen having said this , and i use the presence of the commissioner to indicate that it is in my opinion , not only for the protection of citizens in the light of new technologies , but also for the use of these technologies in the interests of better aptitude for eu citizens , who mapping and interactive with the european institutions to ensure that it should communicate . in addition , amendments nos 1 , 2 , 4 and 10 , 12 40 , 42 54 , 57 and 58 and 60 64 , the council text on those points included in which the commission can accept . elapse before it goes without saying that , in its opinions on the legislative proposals on the protection of personal data will be very helpful insofar as they are an important contribution to legislative debate between the institutions todhchaí . so recognises that the ultra peripheral regions , a difficult economic and social situation vary according to the specific disadvantages which by their permanent situation and the development of these regions greatly affect . interaction , through its being hampered by the treaty in this way will the strategy on a high level of promoting economic and social progress contribute . so i am addressing mrs sudre . we can await with interest the development of the commission 's proposals , so that the special features in article 299 ( 2 ) of the treaty of amsterdam will soon be taken into account . congratulations from normative for many europeans are some ultra peripheral regions , just a touristisches aimed at the map . our unemployment among the top of the union . i am pleased that the committee which i have tabled amendments with a large majority . i think it is particularly important that the outermost regions in the pan-european transport , energy and telecommunications networks are included . the unanimous approval of the report presented by the members of the committee on regional policy is an indication of the faithful to the european parliament of its most important duties . margie by our colleague mrs sudre we cannot discuss here on the whole conditions and believe that it can achieve this , even if we want to call - no longer be necessary , will further measures for dealing with these three areas , especially in the outermost regions which we are discussing today , to take up with satisfactory idyllischen situation - it times . this puts us in a position to do everything possible , but allows us to ensure that our work to strengthen and - i think that is needed - to extend and improve . articles , although not in order to prepare the necessary proposals , the commission is working with of course the member states and the regions concerned together . the difficulty of these regions wise men - we know - lasting nature of , and i therefore believe that they are as depending on their actual ratio permanently on the support of the regional policy and on special measures reliant . during the year 2001 might reaffirming such a meeting will be carried out , if we do with the implementation of the programme presented in march a bit further arrived . the presidency has been decided that this matter has been completed , and i do not accept this without any reservations . i think that parliament should be the best way to the current rules , as often as is another colleague has said - not the appliances which do not have been working , but individual members who have forgotten realizing . and if a vote subsequently correct , then we would never have come to an end obliteration . i am in fact , what i osce . ultimately , mr commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , it is , quite apart from the authority to require the competent services of the commission in cooperation and coordination with member states homogener and effective controls in the entire food chain and that the network of lebensmittellabors within the european union expanded and in coordination with the commission is currently working on a system construct . since it cannot be allowed to come up with national research and the eu-forschungszentren worked out . undergoing scientific research overlapping must today we are discussing a white paper , and we anyway lamentation , be some important principles . these procedures have been improved and altered , moreover , we in the united kingdom an agency for legensmittelstandards set up . finally , i would like to point out that we also support amendments nos 11 and 13 and 7 to 9th relating to amendment no 14 we call for a free . some of the new , against that background , i would like to say the following : firstly , the food safety can only be guaranteed if strict official inspections carried out , and these controls are just as effectively as the weakest link in their respective chain . we are debating a subject on which clearly proves , as superficial and inhaltslos our debate on the political unification of europe . we therefore entrust the european food safety authority solely with the scientific testing in cooperation with our national authorities . it is important . most of the lebensmittelbedingten diseases of which europe today is concerned , deficiency first on the american continent to . however , we must take the necessary conditions for recourse to the authority is intended to be efficient and rapid action is guaranteed . we should also like to point out , as some previous speakers have done , including in particular mr whitehead , mrs gebhardt , that the white paper is a great deal more than a new set of rules clear-out by the european union . mr president , i am pleased gratitude to both the commission , who work for a better food safety has begun , and also to mr bowis and the entire committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy . today ; as i think it is particularly amendment no 17 , in which a involvement of the consumer is being called for . another point is the review of the legislation on the labelling of food as well as for the retail trade , the protection of consumers in the traceability of products and their ingredients endlich correctly informed and the investigation possible responsibilities lie with risks and crises will enable both for the city by the preconceptions . new regulations are not believe that the right response , if the existing provisions are not complied with . with regard to the vote on the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy has managed to a certain balance reestablish , we are making the scope of the ernährungsprobleme broadened and some important references to the role of small and medium-sized undertakings for the preservation of different eating habits have taken on board . mr president , i would like to join other members and the rapporteur , mr bowis , for his very constructive and coherent approach to this problem compliment . mr president , the fact that the white paper on food safety itself no legal value , harms the twofold significance to the him without any doubt burner , not the slightest . the rapporteur and a great many members of our committee , including myself , have to insist on the food authority pigeonholes what actually somewhat regrettable . the independence and integrity of the authority is the position of european consumers are best served . during this process , i have often thought that we in the selection of the rapporteur , a happy hand have experienced . mr president , i too would like to thank mr bowis , my congratulations on his laudable attempt to pay tribute to all opinions in his report to be included , and wish him well for the fact that the reference to the broader concept of diet has accepted . above all , he finally , the policy does not shirk its responsibilities . the most important task is , however , that this body in respect of other scientific committees which public confidence and the willingness of the governments in the member states buys , by its decisions to be accepted . as i see it as a food authority for the future . we have the world health organisation in geneva . i verschweige nor that i argued in the publication of the white paper against the authority perplexed . it is therefore to ensure that the european union at the highest lebensmittelsicherheitsstandards at its disposal , but in the context of this on unanimous approval stoßenden approach , the economic consequences for producers analysed . the remit of the authority will be an independent scientific research and mentorship , independent controls and inspections and an early warning system , but also coordination of restoring confidence . embraces : i would like to take this opportunity to rostrums which a solution in relation to the promotion of local specialities and traditional lebensmittelerzeugnisse called for , assure you that this issue in the hygiene is taken into account . discrete it is the commission to facilitate a balanced proposal , in the position of parliament and the many players in the field of food safety broadly taken into account . our parliament is dealing with this issue , but these issues were sewn together with others in political terms , the deciding factor for the signing of the convention ottawa . it is not the first time anti-personnel mines i reiterate my rejection of amendments nos 10 , 19 , which is due to the coherence of the budget , and ask for a split vote on the individual parts to the wording of the entire text which , in my opinion on certain misinterpretations are suffering , to improve . amendment no 29 and this is the first question is : the countries which have not signed by the european union , especially the commission , on the signature of the convention ottawa will be required . milosevices , mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we all know what the consequences of the anti-personnel mines , although it cases in often great military justification is there . parliament has made this subject 1996 on the agenda , as it is a budget line and a proper legal basis to establish a common platform for wide-range of our actions in this important area of employment . first brought horizontal called i cannot , however , hide the fact that the persuasion of the european union in relation to other countries by the fact is that in some member states still have problems with regard to signing and ratifying the aarhus convention . consist of something derogated the effectiveness of mine action is greatest , if this individually refer to the special conditions in the situation tailored are . parliament knows that it is that there are already too many . as you know , we intend to do with our proposals on reform of external aid from the expensive verification of individual projects modifying and us during the discussion with the member states instead of general strategies and programmes focus . many ngos have been established , which deals with this problem . nonetheless , we must four years after the first united nations conference on the issue land-mines in geneva and over a year after the entry into force of the convention ottawa noticed that many countries , mainly in the world 's poorest regions , which are still in erschreckendem overvaluation of the risk of anti-personnel landmines and shooting and ammunition which do not explode , are being subjected to . employ thousands of people and the commission needs to be the quality of their programmes improve and accelerate their implementation . if you will see that these amendments to carefully examine , so it seems to me , however , that some of which you mentioned applications campaigns , transparency , ngo access to the appropriations and things that are currently quite properly , whose effectiveness , but there can be improved . h-0528 : mrs bonino and mr patten have also agree with your view that the council and parliament 's administration fools . i heard mr patten on this point , because it does seem to think that we should be even less meddle . listened very carefully indeed from should mr president , our group is working on for many years for the whole range of requirements and action taken by the produktionsstopp on the destruction of the minenbestände , the attitude of the marketing of the evacuation of the mines up for the rehabilitation of minenopfer and public awareness . in this area necessary - then there is the task of the member states , this process at international level to support . the mines are of course a major obstacle to the reconstruction work in these countries as well as for the return of refugees impediment . under the current rate of evacuation - as has been said here earlier - far more than 100 years need in order to earth from the antipersonnel mines to cleanse . we would the third area i see some concrete measures , which we propose to check and should follow . every child , which we are in bosnia , africa and elsewhere - before the minentod or terrible injury to maintain the effort by all value . it must , in fact , to put pressure on those countries which have ratified the still have not signed , such as finland , or the as yet , such as greece will be exercised . ladies and gentlemen , look at it again finland ! finally , let us hope that in the context of the future of the common european forces professionals trained , especially local people , which is something that is that the mines are disappearing . duties and they underline , nor that of the list of countries most affected , above all developing countries are . parliament 's demands could hardly ever more clearly in breach of the lisbon agenda . the rapporteur , mrs van lancker , want to say that parliament modifications of the commission 's proposal decides , particularly through the adding of different areas in which legislation advisable , as well as through the definition of certain rights at european level . apparently , the luxembourg approach to the employment policy , which applies to the social protection and social exclusion is being extended . the superpowers germany , france , great britain and italy are all agreed that they are small eastern and southern european countries which want to join the european union and its domination subjugate wanting to some extent . we believe , however , for legal reasons for misnomer , they are already in nature . 6 teu with regard to briefcases , because they are in the convention - its structure under - not formally could be any legal foundation , and therefore decided on . the inclusion of new texts in the treaties could lead to legal uncertainty . the fact is that the rapporteur on the mouthpiece of the new theory of the so-called dual legitimacy of the european union , namely by the european parliament represent the citizens and by the council countries represented . modern in brussels the swedish and danish social democrats have today voted against the report by oliver duhamel over the constitutionalising the treaties . to this end , the european union towards a constitution to develop the charter of fundamental rights coverage . a constitution would only make sense if they are the democratic framework for a genuine european federation , the united states of europe , which form dignity . he said that he is in line with a large part of the political class to the realised that our relations with the other countries preferred by an international treaty governed by asking what . . ( en ) i welcome the report by mr duhamel as an interesting and constructive contribution to the concept of constitutionalising the treaties . we believe that a reorganization and simplification of the treaties , the competence of the eu - and their borders - and procedures for exercising this responsibility clearly identified . it easier for people dignity up until the treaty of amsterdam in 1997 was europe an intergovernmental supersyndikat . the edd group is voting against the report by mr gil-robles gil-delgado on enhanced cooperation . it is the concept of a union in which every form of cooperation within a single institutional framework dramas and on the objective of a super-state geared to be . revealed far too monolithischen " . ' it is therefore a general slow-down will be prevented by certain member states , the development of closer cooperation with a possible will proceed more quickly . the structures of the internal market to function since the early 1990s very successfully . - ( nl ) the cooperation at european level can for resolving cross-border problems useful . these regions could be regarded as an excellent versuchsstation for sustainable development serve . the technocrats and the european judges , for example , dock dues octroi de mer , abolish of our citizens in the overseas territories with resources cared for and , above all , our cottage protects . wanted saloon . ' france has , however departments in the indian ocean and the caribbean . its independence is a sine qua non for its credibility . our vote , therefore , to clarify the role and the composition of the planned european authority helped , but it also has its financing and its independence specifying our requirements . secondly , the european agency must be totally independent . we need the kind of agricultural and agroindustriellen practices , the problem of the composition of the ingredients in animal ceilings for dioxins and for pesticide residues in food and other account and food safety prioritise . nahrungsgüterimporte , which , additives we have voted in favour of amendment no 15 , because this is the defence of europe 's cultural heritage in the field of lebensmittelerzeugung ground dear . in practically no category left us with a margin . since we are now even 50 % in the budget line and 50 % in reserve prioritised . the question is this , as reconcilable accommodated . report ( a5-0300 / 2000 ) by mrs haug , on behalf of the committee on budgets on draft general budget of the european union 's budget for 2001 , section iii - commission ( c5-0300 / 2000 - 1999 / 2190 ( bud ) ) madam president , my name appears among several amendments to this report . ( parliament adopted the legislative resolution ) the real astonishment that this budget resides in the field of external policy areas , where selfishness and knauserei robustness . either through the use of the flexibility instrument can appropriations released . . ( el ) i voted against the haug report and for my group 's proposal that the overall budget 2001 must be rejected . we are thinking in particular to the new pilot project to be financed from within this framework information measures to combat paedophilia . not least , this indicates that little commitment to the eu project , even under the politically active citizens . in this way traps 20 to 30 % of the markets in turn of the private sector to competition . since this with vorliegendem report does not guarantee is that i have voted against the report . we look at the unacceptably low thresholds which , in connection with the proposed cuts in the rücknahmemengen at 5 % , when apples and pears and on the other , then it is clear that huge quantities of com in processed fruit and vegetable no longer be able , as far as the overall shirk that fruit and vegetables fields and in the food processors verrotten lamentation , thereby forcing farmers will have their pflanzungen to grub up . citrus 8.5 % to 10 % in fruit and gemüsesorten national aid to reduce prices deposed i voted in favour of this report because it to the expectations of the portuguese organizations of the fruit and vegetable corresponds to a dramatic change in the com in fruit and vegetables called for , as do you think that the national interests profoundly damaging this . johan van hecke 's report ( a5-0296 / 2000 ) the root of the problem is that everything , even the quality of the environment and the climate , the capitalist exploitation of productive resources and the superprofiten being sacrificed . departure in kyoto was that the rich countries vent themselves strictly keeping them , however , have the opportunity , with your help in other countries reductions in their own ergebnisliste to chalk up . subsequently achieved penetrates into their - ( fr ) the fight against the greenhouse effect is a great challenge for the industrialised countries and a duty , particularly with regard to the peoples of the third world , the effects of global warming already with her life . the art of life consists of using these risks and insecurities adequately deal . even the efforts of the suspected substances to explore , possibly by means of a legal framework ­ continue and strengthen . endokrin effective exact are ­ consumers and smes unsettles of introducing the euro happened internal market does not sufficiently profitable . the banks are indeed up to now by the member states undertook to cross-border payments of eur 12 500 to zahlungsbilanzstatistischen purposes of its central bank to speak . of course apply to them the same strict requirements in terms of security and money-laundering . we know there are cases where the cross-border credit transfers , according to the euro has been increased , and not just a small amount . overqualified überweisungsgebühren the european central bank could help , with the implementation of the single european datenformats in payment transactions and with the support of the implementation of a single european bankleitzahl within the international iban-systems . the fact that consumers have the euro accept , is of crucial importance . madam president , mrs peijs ' report on the massenzahlungsverkehr takes up the old demands of the european parliament concerning the high costs for cross-border credit transfers in the union reappeared on the internal market . the peijs report puts it in recital d of the resolution itself , where it says that the high charges for auslandsüberweisungen ' consumer confidence in the euro shake ' . festival so there is still far too , but the funds and the possibilities of politicians , what we can do , in this area are lower than ours manoeuvre on the question of payment systems in the internal market . the formulas will in future too , and the citizens understand that in this area in which priced out of electronic payment with internet-banking will , of course , a transfer of munich , to salzburg considerably more than a transfer from munich , to kiel . perceived as binnenraum not exchange risk and increasingly to achieve this we will have , and they are still many years to work . on this occasion , we will be on a shorter duration of the phasing out cross-border transfers to fall into the report by mrs peijs pressed for , will speak . the debate is closed . the right policy consists of a pragmatic approach , which is the small business at the heart of power , and not a proposal on the pretext that all-embracing avoid wanting to only serve to correct statistics to produce the concretely to take nothing amiss . aware of and kmu-nahen to prioritise its instruments which would however , more specifically , i have three comments on this programme . it is worth recalling that the first community action in this area 1983 was adopted , i.e. before 17 years . i am also has always been in favour of this on the basis of an efficient and pragmatic policy should be . i would outposts of the economy and the innovating described in the front line , and the areas in existing risks directly exposed . you as a genuine finally , we also have the results of the brussels ' governance ' , which last week in brussels under the auspices of the institute for technological zukunftsforschung in seville , as well as the folgearbeiten on that account , because there are many connections to today 's topic . academia and has taken place symposium the rapporteur listing several points on which a framework for companies in europe . this is excellent news for europe , because technically correct , competent and soon we can help . mr president , i too would like to add my thanks for the excellent work of mrs montfort . it is important to measure well , to avoid a situation in which people are constantly at the expense of other failure . this is unfair , which is why i support this report ! this is also the guiding principle of the charter for small businesses . the programme is designed to ensure that this will be informed about the networks allocated . the main aim of this plan is evidently the control of immigration in the countries of the european union and the readmission of all europe illegally resident in their home countries . in particular , i would point out that measures to improve internal security , intensifying the dialogue between europeans and local bodies in albania and - as far as the commission and the council is concerned , in cooperation with the albanian , the italian and the greek authorities targeted actions are required . the inadequate social , economic and political conditions in combination with faults or defective legal certainty and organised crime will lead to massive wanderbewegungen . mr president , in contrast to mrs pack , i believe that the more groups to deal with albania and the sooner the better it is . obviously , we must not a solution for the whole issue racing , but medium-term we create a world with an appropriate equity , with security and zukunftsmöglichkeiten immediately . in addition , there is a chasm between us , the european union , and the united states - that the financial resources , and on the one hand and the local population on the other . dgl. projects publicize backers - we are therefore bilateral agreements which are legally and clearly to the activities of the whereabouts of remuneration , working hours , working conditions and the conditions enshrine in order to become a force which will be the economies of our countries and in a spirit of the cold war to stir up the friendship and cooperation between peoples . helps promote rather than nationalist aspirations seize the aufenthaltsdauer sozialversicherungsrechtlichen immigrants people are sent back to the partly well integrated amach . we must not , however , can fleshing out the migranten- and stream curb but which is how the situation in the region so that they are the people to stay at home . centred on mr president , i also believe that , as mr dimitrakopoulos quite rightly been pointed out by the central issue in terms of economic and social rights and the internal security problems in albania remains a problem with that country in the reconstruction of the rule of law , in order to guarantee the safety of citizens and the restoration of the reputation of the institutions and local administrations to support . i am as my colleague mr liese 's view that we need a sharing the burden of asylum and refugee policy . the action plan for albania and the neighbouring regions has been adopted in june this year . it is therefore of the sixth action plan . there is sometimes frustration , but also towards the right one , and we want for ourselves , but also the other institutions to call for the detailed work does not lead to work and also make the necessary time and the necessary staff available to . shy away from precise mühsal here fremdheit european we want to send out a signal to the citizens that we are complaining about the lack of quality of legislation and the complaining about überregionalisierung centralism and seriously with this report . it goes without saying that this subject in itself extremely important , even though the small number of participants in this chamber on this succeeding debate at first sight , in fact dagegenspricht now . in addition , the report inevitably raises the question of subsidiarity , which , in this chamber this evening somewhat controversial . would you also in the light of this principle an inventory of legislation undertake to bring these simpler , more transparent , efficient and more focused and to make superfluous legislation to be deleted , as in paragraph 6 of this report stimulated will be of interest . after a very thorough examination of the report i am to the conclusion that it is also no political principle is : there is a theological . this means that the principle of subsidiarity in the smallest municipalities , the local authorities , the intermediary organisations , the social classes , families and the only ones who really want the sovereignty of the legislative and administrative operation of the exercise , must be guaranteed to be made . penetrate people let me , therefore , a summary vat-free . i give the floor to the commissioner . it will be talking about an area that we detail of regulate that should be guaranteed everywhere , or should we consider whether a voluntary agreement , provided that it can be implemented and controlled , the alternative is implemented ? i have voted in favour of the report , although i do not believe that it deals with the high level of wechsel- and transfer costs in the area . preoccupied with some amendments till - if the fifteen months in eleven member states are still the same notes and coins in transport being brought to the acquisition of this single currency outside their own wohnsitzlandes more expensive . kin mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i begin by expressing my regret that , however , that this must be for the fisheries commissioner fischler , today we are not here . it must be an agreement which is the blocked the moroccan fisheries sector , but also the fishing interests of the european fleets are fully taken into account . gives fresh impetus and consequently , we have to build a partnership agreement with morocco , which will have its position within the framework of a meeting which , as you pointed out , on 30 october , i.e. monday in brussels . responsibly health-related a few weeks ago i was myself in the spanish coast . this is just north of morocco . algeciras during the time has been shown that they are not only is difficult , but even when impossible to highlight obliteration . through the agreements can the european union fishing undertake and with third countries fishing rights harmonise . in a swedish fischereifachzeitschrift was to be read as one of these vessels fish in el aaiún land has been made , as moroccan ports has been described . relocates all this into question . it will come about all of our fisheries agreement with morocco , because this agreement with mauritania and , soon , with guinea-conakry is being tested against and not just that . it has taken place , which is to be achieved turning-point in the workplace , and so we also know , the latest measures taken by commissioner fischler appreciative of the results of his mission to morocco and the high level , even with the könig , discussions on 26 september 11 months now , mentorship 30.10. to achieve . but i would like a few brief messages to the commission to send today is the worthily by commissioner busquin being represented . my question to the commission is this : if no agreement with morocco will be achieved if this agreement with the commission 's signalisierten conditions concluded an agreement on the stimulation of production , does the commission then structural measures to compensate for the disadvantage to take the regions concerned will develop ? oder , will moroccan as we have had foresee that were the negotiations with the moroccan authorities extremely difficult . should the outcome of the failure of the negotiations , the union has finally the political and moral duty to fishermen and shipowners with sufficient funding to help them to make a living for themselves . unwanted the over-capacity of the fishing industry of the eu must be reduced . that is why we need earliest close economic and political relations with morocco , while enforcement of our european fishing interests . therefore , the commission is working on the basis of a new partnership , the one hand , the promotion of the fisheries sector , the fleet , aquaculture , industrial processing and research and on the granting of fishing opportunities for european fishermen . comprising , for mutually beneficial flourishes in morocco women 's rights lecturers ' this is not only in the german language is a clear distinction . in july 1999 the commission has this infringement proceedings before the court of justice . if it is therefore not to be desired in harmonising systems must , therefore , as things currently stand , the principle of subsidiarity does not mean that what is likely to be a requirement for privilege is , as discrimination dismissed . part-financed by us erupts admittedly , the previous commission under president santer was perhaps not the best , why did you too . members of the committee on legal and internal market from across the union and from all parties are gathered here , in order to enquiring , that there is no point on which to speak for rechtschartas engaging in cases where human rights refused to take effective measures , so that they recognised and enforced , and therein lies in this case , the problem . rights and , if we are not necessarily leads inevitably have to be made this is in a modern europe really not acceptable . of course the education sector is still under the principle of subsidiarity , but within the framework of the treaties are the free movement of workers and the ban on discrimination , even though we are particularly , because i am very federal state - the subsidiarity principle as ordnungsprinzip of cooperation in the european union espouse and we can to ensure that the kompetenzaufteilungen between levels in europe accordance with the principle of subsidiarity should be combined . falls to us all self-respecting - and i for one shall earliest this can no longer the case of discrimination . mr president , would you , from an excellent acquainted with the surgery in italian , french and german or by a surgeon servicing lamentation ? fachbegriffe ( the sitting was closed at 10.56 p.m. ) we are talking about them our deepest sympathy and sincere sympathy for it . has the floor , mr ceyhun ; he refers to the rapporteur and also on behalf of the socialist group . with regard to the council and commission statements on the third asia-europe meeting with the council tells us that he is currently no statement wishes . it is therefore a question of the european citizens from the 15 eu member states to live apart from the many people who come from outside , because we are dealing here with a view to costa del sol , but not exclusively , because in this area and in their einzugsbereich for which it is not even an emergency plan under the treaties and under the euratom treaty within the competence of the commission is ; it affects many citizens or can affect many citizens spaniard ; there are hundreds anyway . madam president , it is annoying , but very informative , by the spanish minister , mr mayor oreja to hear that conversations with basque nationalists uselessly , even if a future cease-fire in herausspränge . exhibiting i should enquiries as to whether this week a commission statement on the british government 's decision is planned to have a discriminatory tax for nichtbritische road introduce ? for since the so-called liberal parties , including the european increasingly tend to deal with xenophobic and racist and authoritarian inclined to allied forces , which is not just a serious threat to italy , but there has also referred to a problem out the whole of europe is concerned . - however , the report contains critical comments about the french proposal . these demands are subject to amendments nos 2 and 4 of the karamanou report . the french presidency , we are debating today , which has as its objective , the two above-mentioned general rechtshilfe-übereinkommen in criminal matters , especially in the area of combating money laundering , to improve . i can only say that if the idea of the fight against money laundering damaged , then this is the fault of the council and not of parliament . on the results of its work we can only congratulate you . the way to achieve this , of course , as mr marinho said - and i agree with his opinion - on which communitisation . otherness all the speakers agreed until now agree that this is a very valuable initiative , and we agree . europol must across frontiers can operate . there is still too much in our modern europe , and i want to create a recognition approve , i should first of fairer standards must be reinstated . mutual recognition before i understand that it is very difficult , because we in the construction of a fragmentation of the instruments must be based . but it is also a need to ensure that the european union , and it is also a desire for the citizens , which we bear in mind , for the citizens of the european union have a right to security . location strengths to have we must fight against money laundering , will lead us to be aware that there is , above all , after the establishment of an internal market and according to the liberalisation of the market for capital and financial services effective police and judicial cooperation between member states - as effectively as possible - in the european union a implacable needs . when an activity than finanzberater entitled to the adoption of the lawyer as such , would not his profession . nothing nevertheless , i am of course , aware that the question raised by several members of the conditions under which the confidentiality of the legal professions , the rejection of judicial cooperation in the area of combating money laundering can explain why that is very delicate . this applies particularly to severity , gravest and cross-border crime . overall , it is the task so great and so important that they are not the council alone cannot be solved . hence the need to strengthen citizens ' rights , we are making a legislative instrument to create and the jurisdiction of the court of justice recognised , especially in relation to questions to the interpretation and decisions . zweckdienliches even though i am in favour of more cooperation and coordination favour , but i think that the project to draw a legal framework to be making a mistake to why we will vote against it . there is also a second point is of interest . that is why the full participation in this house is so good . as several members have raised , i would like to take this opportunity to you in all honesty that , as mr coelho has just done - to say that we in this initiative , above all , the first initiative and see what the political will of the council is expressed in the compared to the police and judicial cooperation in the field of judicial cooperation . lagging behind existing very delicate matters it is , therefore , i am also very important instrument in order to judicial control of europol safeguarded . the programme for research in sectors such fisheries , agriculture and agro-industry was part of the fourth framework programme , from 1994 to 1998 expired . fair given the importance of the research programme for agriculture and fisheries , it is detected a great pity that some problems have been made by the organisation of the programme . the court of auditors ' report on the programme , which is the langenhagen report refers , is only in march this year has been published , while the first time in december 1998 and , in february 1999 , the commission were provided . sektorschreiben on auditing fair on behalf of the committee on fisheries , i would like to mention a few points . they have kindly referred to the atmosphere in which the report arose ; it was in gasps of dialogue with the court of auditors and the commission 's departments ; and you have made clear how important you is this . this shows that the commission does not sit back and that it was your comments seriously . i now turn to the question put by mrs morgan , which is vacated by paid sums articulated . thank you very much , commissioner . the überreichung should take place during the december part-session . it means that , even if there is some heads of state and government not to admit that it is my conviction that the inauguration of this parliament so often and so persistent requisite constitutional process . i am extremely pleased that today i have the opportunity , with them at length about this draft the charter of fundamental rights of the european union to pubic opinion of this house to adopt this text . before you the final trefflichen i personally have no doubt that the opportunity to provide it . there was also , however , a few critical comments about the content of the charter . this is an important position which i welcome . it was for us as parliament has a great success - and here i have the political groups , which is a positive outcome - that we have asserted that the european parliament with 16 members in this grundrechtskonvent was represented . zusammengestanden the draft charter , as i think that a great success , as it is a major european newspaper on 26 september 2000 , the visiting card for europe . betitelte and can my group therefore considers it absolutely essential , in article 6 ( 2 ) of the treaty of a reference to the charter should include . so many people have believed that it finally had the opportunity to be existence as a mere free trade and the ausgetretenen civilised path of liberalism , in order to overcome the foundations of the europe of citizens to construct . indeed , in europe the civil society is intent on mobilise and the european summit in december in nice your voice to collect and a charter of demanding that the real guarantees for the citizens of europe offers . this requires , in addition to signatures even more effective political commitments , the day after day by all member states and all political forces must be implemented . let us therefore weep or behave as if we are happy to let us this great event celebrate that nonetheless insignificant . the convention has done excellent work . both the persönlichkeitsrechte , citizens ' rights as well as social rights . it is right to good administration , which , by mrs malmström mentioned , is one of the most significant progress impediment . i am not sure how much scope for mr blair , in order to respond to this great project to voice heard . least i have still not done anything . his officials accords madam president , the half full or half empty glass of the last time you have mentioned . but the cologne european council has the support of the body which is its role as stifter of confusion delightful , has played eventually achieved that everybody has forgotten that this is a competence of the national parliaments are involved , which is precisely in the context of a policy of small steps decrease unmentioned . these excessive grundrechtsschutz is just as harmful as inadequate ! if the contributions made by some members listens to becomes clear that this information more necessary than ever before . the billion-dollar question which is now the controversy which relates to the purpose of the charter . we are again disillusioned and unsatisfied . of course we are in favour of the charter , but with a feeling that this is not so much enthusiasm and commitment of the citizens of europe will be able to plausible as usual , the governments - and some more than the others - the historic responsibility to take over . voices will be necessary constituting the rapporteur , mr duff , according to this poses a major step towards improving the quality of european integration . the need for this , i recommend a study of the statements by the convention and the case-law of the both with the charter blindfolds courts . anyone who has 49 mr president . since the creation of the european union will be here to lay the foundations for a constitution , a constitution for the supra-national entity , as the union . attributed first but they have nothing grasped . we marching for a social and democratic europe , for a europe of citizens . in the meantime , the draft charter of parties , unions , churches and many other groups in the member states and candidate countries of the union as a basis for discussion on the future cooperation between the peoples of europe serve . intriguing before environmental groups i would like to mention three points which , in the course of morning mentioned by my fellow members have already been addressed . the charter , the us today is to be adopted , strengthens the common values , the basis of our community , it makes it even permeate not only fundamental rights and should be . that is why i agree with commencement of those who have a reference to the charter in article 6 and its subsequent entry into the treaties aspire to . we are thinking only of the connolly case which is critical book on the commission , after a decision of the court of first instance cannot be allowed . this clarification is particularly important at a time when the union with the task facing us is that the legal status in terms of rights and obligations legally resident in the european union aufhaltenden nationals of third countries lay down . i am personally convinced that they are a number immediate effect , and that they are in the near future a binding character will receive . exactly how he i have heard , the charter is a bones for the dog , whereby the european parliament is to be said that fig-leaf for everything that is a agonisierende french presidency , particularly with regard to the leadership of the intergovernmental conference . behest did during the debate a few frappierende formulations or they dog this parliament has led to the establishment of a forum in which qualified representatives of the turkish community and european parliamentarians who do mandate received , together detailed comments . europäisch-türkischen propose this does not mean that we have with the demokratieentwicklung in turkey and the way in which , as violator of human rights is handled , would agree . unanimity apart from that , i do not know of course , that the candidacy of turkey to continue questions . the presidency hopes that this proposal as soon as possible before the next general affairs council on 20 november and , as i indicated insensitive , taking account of the helsinki decisions very specific decisions being accepted . it is true , however , what the commission has stated in its progress report made it quite clear that turkey must , as all other candidates , within the framework of the delivered to the copenhagen criteria . president in his speech to the turkish parliament last month with said quite clearly that there is no alternative to this path . exists for turkey itself sezar i would like to thank you for your attention . here too there was some slightly positive signals . we are opposed to some extent unfair aspirations onwards , with which the report disrupted . this applies especially to those amendments which the european parliament to judge on the past , turkey 's levied should be as successful balance achieved is to be . this is a fact , just as it is a fact that turkey , like any civilised society , which deals with the need for lumbered needs to come to terms with their past , so they may also have to deal dreadfully . the turkish membership on that basis , and not just from the united states would be a enrich the european union and a significant step towards a united europe . geostrategic reasons or nato one has ever forget that only a small part of the turkish territory the european continent ? we shall therefore vote against this report , as we are against all the reports , the aim of turkey 's participation in the european union persecuted , voted in favour . in particular , if turkey 's accession smacks of this in view of the political situation but could not be met . damage occurring in hopes were report ( a5-0310 / 2000 ) by mrs langenhagen , on behalf of the committee on budgetary control , the special report no 9 by the court on research in the field of agriculture and fisheries , programme ( research in the area of fisheries , agriculture and the agro-industry ) , together with the commission 's replies ( c5-0227 / 2000 - 2000 / 2133 ( cos ) ] fair / 1999 i welcome this report and i will vote for it . instead of human rights and social rights to a higher level to raise the ambitions of this at a lower level of shirk . they are facilitated no doubt that it should end up as a lay the foundations for a future european constitution , which in turn the eu 's development towards a federal structure in which decisions are now in force , and a strong and by all the main aim is to interests of the monopolies of the european union at the expense of the interests of employees and the people in general to operate . jump from a few taken will be implemented . serve culmination of supposed to be a typical case it is in article 2 ( 2 finding : nobody should be condemned the death penalty or executed . in spite of our requirements laid down that a family from a man and a woman and children , and that they are grundzelle of society . nowhere is there aufziehen this is , in view of the fact that this judges do not have been elected , restriction of the european union 's democratic staatswesens represents . i certainly would have wished that you straight away in our european treaties have been included consign ! nevertheless , i abstained during the final vote , because i believe that a number of social rights clearly fewer than the economic rights are worded . originally it was the convention on the assumption that the consensus on a text which the member states through the inclusion in the treaties would give legal value . in actual fact , the fight against social exclusion on the level of social welfare restricted rather than the demand for towards employers and the state nullify fundamental rights too . for my part i am convinced that the neutrality is both timely emanzipatorischer value . similarly missing from the sozialpflichtigkeit of ownership . this document is a legally binding document unsuitable , there is no legal text represents . members of the irish parliament concerns the question as to what extent the irish identity , and mr ahern in ireland , a basic prerequisite for economic success , while he rejects any moves towards a federal europe onwards , since this is the wish of the majority of europeans contradict and on rejection would face . sees the membership prosperity , but hasty re-enforced - centralized - has recently brussels jeopardized advise you once again , however , it shaping . i would like to point out that in this whole seven reports on national initiatives , which shows that this system , where there is , end up being very productive inadequacy . margins session lessening these are absolutely indispensable to combat this phenomenon , which is continually developed and internationalised . targeted measures with this initiative is proposing a framework decision on the approximation of criminal laws and procedures in the field of laundering ( identifying , freezing and seizure of yields ) before the french presidency . all the member states should laundering as an offence and deal with a commuted by at least four years receipts . since the world enormous proportions that we can only through an extension of europol 's powers , and ultimately to draw up a european strategy for police and judicial cooperation to combat money laundering is at stake . counter money laundering has i welcome the report to a further initiative of the french presidency in this case it is about improving the judicial cooperation to prevent obstructions , the extradition of the proceeds from crime and the financial crime suspects delinquents stave off a waschens roure . madam president , this is the only report , which i do not think voted for . it would be the first unionsmitglied , that the gap asia geographically bridged and has a predominantly muslim tradition . this applies particularly to this stage , in which we are gradually becoming more and more eib funds committed , without , however , our financial risks fully cover . in this connection , i would emphasise the hauptschlussfolgerung in paragraph 22 of the copenhagen criteria , and references to the number of actions and failings in terms of human rights , democratic freedoms and their international occurrences , and to the relevant european parliament 's recommendations to the country to the relevant european values adapt . condemnations of turkey erfülle turkey mr president , uneasy about the fact that the official representatives from the turkish press does not currently attempts along these lines , but instead of trying to take this fillip to resist . responsbile , turkey and encouragement are inadequately nicosia is today , eleven years after the fall of the berlin wall , the only divided capital of europe . the necessary progress is still not sufficiently achieved , and turkey must continue to trouble . mr president , mr president-in-office , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i would like , in my capacity as rapporteur for the accession of cyprus to participate in this debate . mr president , we cannot vote in favour of the morillon report , because we are sure that , contrary to the assertions and expectations of many people in turkey 's accession to the lives of people will not improve . however , i believe that it is not to black picture of the situation sketch should be . there is therefore an internal relationship . euro-mediterranean conference in marseille mr brok , which is now up to us stone-age is , in fact , the negotiations in detected delays touched upon . here we europeans have experience which we can pass . basically , there is no longer just a question of a new balance towards eastern europe to produce , but also about the future enlargement of the union . prepare as 1995 xenophobia that state terrorism or other forms of terrorism belong in this area , and i hope that , here too , there is the opportunity to put things right . belongs to with this fact we have unfortunately live . but here too we should be open . all the indications are that it is the inadequacy of the results realise , however , the proposed solutions , in my opinion , the situation is still not fair , even though admittedly five years for such intricate matters certainly does not fond of . consequently , our debate today which will help us the crucial importance to this policy for the whole union that has to realise . it cannot be competition between all these needs 800s , but we must find new resources . the spiral of violence in the middle east deliberately engaged brutal war against the palestinian people , the israel continues to have their right to a state refuses to threaten the future of the whole region . mr president , as the european union in its balance between deepening and widening must find a balance between its zentraleuropäischen function and its mediterranean responsibility thereabouts . it should be in marseille nice however , there is often intended for five years ago that we ourselves with the sufficiency on-going process , with the fact that meetings at ministerial level , involving representatives of the palestinian authorities , syria , lebanon etcetera , have taken place which can be satisfied . it may be a armseliger consolation . these days 235m barcelona process , the idea of israel , the existing common problems have been many : illegal immigration , poverty and debt , human rights , drought and terrorism , the life of innocent people and their families destroyed , such as the tragic events in spain , algeria or the middle east . show today in the mediterranean mitleidslos that is what we need to be believed , but the countries of the south need more than speeches and promises . that is what we them . europe has no policy in relation to the mediterranean countries , and we need a policy for the mediterranean , by the coordinates the narratives , and also the climatic diversity in this area proceeds . desertification or brauchwasser farms to contemplate the current proposals i think it is well balanced . turning now to the agency in kosovo . we must not disappoint their expectations ; all these countries need our help today than ever . in conclusion , i would like to say - and i repeat that the words of the commission - that these two proposals for a process of achieving full involvement of those countries which are so many problems , and have , in the european structures . leads hinges upon persuasively , we need to allocate the responsibility of a few festmachen , even in a director , if you want to ensure that a real responsibility towards the body contributes to this individual programmes auswählt . so i thank all the members of this objective as considers important , and i am pleased , therefore , that we continue in this area too , to content in these countries can . float longer some of these reports on the elections in bosnia las i had the parliamentary elections in bosnia-herzegovina , the ultranationalisten bullfights . as you know , the european union is strongly committed to contribute to this historic changes contributing . the discussion on the reports westendorp and to a regulation on the framework programme on the european agency for reconstruction is tempt us to re-endorse the scale of the union to the balkans to accompaniment stabilisation and association process . intending to grant aid to refer to the lagendijk respectively the long-awaited victory for democracy in croatia and then in the federal republic of yugoslavia requires from the european union , as we know , to go further . question time ( council ) as they deal with the same subject , questions nos 2 and 6 . recently , with the resolution to the parties involved to a further period of four months ago was attached to try to make substantial progress on both these fronts . 1324 i would like to ask you to the state of the association agreement with morocco . the stability and development in the caucasus constitute one of the strategic priorities for the european union . as far as discussions with turkey is concerned , we have just had a wide-ranging discussion on this subject , and the union 's position on this point is well known to you in detail . i would like to ask the minister , once again to stress that this proposed legislation on all those who profit from people who are in an emergency kurti , and that is not about , immigrants or potential immigrants to continue . criminalize aimed at propose it requires both equivalent legislation as well as measures for a wider discussion and a greater public awareness . in my opinion , we must use every means to fight against these crimes , and i note that both the council of the union as well as the united nations general assembly and , as i also believe that the turkish government is prepared to do so . really all available resources it is precisely because the other fourteen countries they missbilligten , you have taken . as an example : if , in my own country , france - and here i am speaking as a party to power , so i would like to see you against my own country takes measures , as you are against austria was taken . ministers - extreme-right tantamount tomorrow i wanted to limit values simile : i mentioned the values , as you are in our treaty , which i referred to in the charter reconfirmed , and i spoke in particular - that is true of the fight against any form of discrimination to all european texts override is that we have in mind . values , as they were - anchored . i would like to remind you that this political dialogue beside the future accession of the elements of the time set preaccession strategy for turkey forms . question no 12 by ( h-0850 / 00 ) : this is what we must try one , and we will pursue this line exclusively . this must be noted that the moroccan side not to the gemeinschaftsangebot has replied . these people originate from scotland , where remand after 110 custody either charged with an offence or must be released , without having to do the same offence re-submitted accuse commisison . days specific measures such as the security of supplies and energy-efficiently ) , in order to ensure that the member states ' economies are and what are the measures and the short- and medium-term priorities of the council for energy efficiency and energy saving ? less vulnerable to external crises were ( the union 's position on the usa had extraterritorial measures is unchanged . finally , i have reminded us that the european union with worried by the un and ­ programmes on-the-spot decisions , and the negative effects of the american wirtschaftsembargos for the cuban people regrets . diagnoses took note and often dramatic does the council is not , however , that it is an extremely political problem is that the maintenance of the same distance towards sacrifices and unacceptable ? perpetrator and firstly , this agency , the commission 's decision on the other hand , it has been excellent results in the implementation of its figuratively task record . decentralising after the discern any barriers to cross-border activity , whether in the field of drug trafficking , trafficking in human beings , we must be combated . transboundary cooperation or illegal . it would be sensible if the commissioner patten , a lot of experience in dealing with international crises and also various regions of the balkans , has once again to the seat of the agency for reconstruction , thessaloniki , begäbe application-orientated and ansähe , such as this service . works - not to say wisdom - possessor visited ; but they never before has it stricken region of europe as hopeful as it now . i would like to begin by thanking the house to ensure that there are two draft regulations so thoroughly and so quickly has examined . even in serbia , where the commission within the space of four weeks ago a soforthilfsprogramm the value of eur 200 million compiled has been able to rapid results . abundant of course we can also accept the proposal that the commission 's unspecified guidelines that our reforms underlying quest for more efficiency should reflect . i hope that parliament understands the irrelevance by me in may and will continue to constructively with all those involved maximised . however , the request of parliament on deletion of unanimity , because this is the view of the college conflicted with proposals in this difficult issue , i do not . the challenge for the third summit in seoul consisted of the asem participants as well as for the general public to deepen . both for regierungsseitige what is the real involvement of citizens with regard to the principle of opening-up of the asem process for a broader segment of civil society , although the initiative of the ngos for the creation of a social forum on the resistance of some asian partners foundered . deemed it festival we are therefore very pleased that the summit meeting in seoul has taken place and apart from one or two heads all heads of government were here . even two concrete proposals were accepted , in particular , the round table on globalisation and the duo fellowship program to 4 300 fellowships amounting to usd 25 million . the commission 's communication is restricted to the treatment of the aspects of the community competences and the member states with regard to functions as a result of participation in the organizations . if we assume that all the meeresanrainerstaaten on the economic , legal and political potential sakes that the european union has to be understood how much we define our responsibility is , in the world only very few , legislative issues . of particular importance is the reform of the cfp , but it is even more important for the appropriate reforms to decide . hardly a fish has a permanent residence . we are all aware , in both the european union as well beyond it is also well aware . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , first of all i should like to thank you for your support in our efforts , the community action in the regional fishing organisations and also to be stepped up . so far have certainly been some progress , but here we must , above all , a better chronological planning endeavour . the constant improvement of the productivity of the haltungsbetriebe already has a pile of supply , and then a further extension of the produktionsapparates compounded , this would inevitably lead once again become a strong marktungleichgewicht . consequence if unlimited instead , it is preferable to ensure that everyone pig industry has its own reserve is founded . therefore , any pig industry should have its own sparschwein . it will also need to promote the producer organisations pointed out , whose implementation depending on the member state varies enormously . the coms , as has so far have konzentrationsprozess rather than that it would have prevented who worked with served . the globalisation of the economy is evident in this case as being the case , and has to do with cyclical crises anything at all . everyone schweinehalter throughout the union can accede to this instrument . mr president , commissioner , the rapporteur , mr garot , has the commission proposal to set up a fund for the pigmeat sector factually accurate and very dealt with . this is a question of compensation . in this respect , i should like to say , finally , as mr garot and also with the commission proposal as it now stands , yes , i agree . however , if we are honest , this is basically in favour of the problem is really irrelevant . confess that i am to another , almost as a whole then the inclusion of specialised ferkelerzeuger in the proposed system , as in amendments nos 7 and 13 expresses . what please , the commission has presented to us for ? firstly , the implementation and the haushaltsführungspraxis in the various categories investigated . therefore duplicates the court of auditors ' comments on the negative effects of this practice , for example , by insufficiently substantiated , hasty decisions , by mistake on the basis of overwork highlighted and so on ensues . his criticism of the past few years ; the tragic events of recent history has shown that management and control at european level to be increasingly important . in this way , the member states penalised financially , less timely member states financially rewarding . ably served i would like to mention in connection with this , too , that the improvement of external aid , which is a priority , both in terms of institutional restructuring of this whole area , but also with regard to the fact that the high arrears in this area amplified and faster than in the past worked out . earmarks is an area where the work which briefly now is the european parliament has declared that there is no longer accept is that it is also the accounts for 1999 with grave mistakes clouded in an extremely difficult situation , because it is still in this year - in january - remains . i would like to ask a few problems indicating here and i hope that mr karlsson , my answer today can . mr karlsson said yesterday , the indication of payer was not easy . i want to examine whether this is not earlier this year , it is possible . then we can start on the directorate-generals to judge . of course we know about the current efforts invested in the commission . it will help to reduce the error rate . that is why the commission will continue now and in judged by the extent to which the rules are complied with . i would like to begin by thanking mr karlsson , for the cooperation with the committee on budgetary control in this year significantly better faulty , as this in previous years been the case . i would urge you to have a list of countries which are particularly bad management , and the sectors to mention , which is the case . in addition to publish hervortun madam president , i too would like to concur with the court of auditors for the report and also for the political assessment of the court yesterday in the committee on budgetary control warmest thanks . there were even further the unconditionally and their need for . there is one belongs , as mentioned by mrs van der laan - and we are in perfect agreement - has been said . this may be required , the powers of the president of the court of auditors to extend to ensure that these decisions concerning the working methods of auditors and its way of meeting can . communications the rates and its composition of the state to differently . in its most important work on the common agricultural policy , the special report on the effects of the cap reform on the cereals sector , which was one of the court of auditors that the community budget from 1993 to 1997 more than eur 13 billion more than has paid should have done . conclusions " there is no sense to me to ask two questions which might not be able to answer . even the european court of auditors must amend its operation . it is fortunate , not in this procedure to be involved . this report was adopted by parliament with a large majority , and that is why i will be the result of the vote in the committee on the environment committee is defend . the second point is just as gelobte ban . that is why i would like at this very grave reservations report and reject this provision . in a second or third reading , we need to be given the famous 314 votes , and we , as this report now before us - certainly not . the commission has a timid , but very positive step in that direction , and perhaps the commissioner in his reply in more detail . the statement by the rapporteur , on the consumer information about the risks and on the issue of transparency , particularly in the field of health and safety is greater emphasis to demonstrate that we are voting on . instead , we should subsidiarity more into account . i remember , however , a heated debate which i have my time neunjährigen daughter elisabetta has led to a me taos , alone in the street . it had to be taken to ensure that we all-encompassing guarantee consumer protection , without however things persistently or , possibly contradictory to regulate . i would like to stress the importance of the amendments adopted by the transparency of the end-consumer increases the responsibility of producers , but also of dealers in implicate rückrufaktionen for regarded as a dangerous products clearer determined . infections on the environment committee , oversees and not just this also means that the relevant provisions of this directive disrupting promulgated , when new , sector-specific rules will be . many of the report 's proposed amendments are an improvement in the text and can therefore the commission 's approval . thirdly , amendment no 4 , the inclusion of a condition which need to be integrated , according to the member states in cooperation with the competent authorities and public or private independents facilities for producing well-founded reports be committed . demanded preamble although the commission and the development of common principles supports , contradicts the wording of this motion for subsidiarity . cooperation the commission does not have problems with the current wording , and the proposed amendments would lead to a weakening of the rules lead . references in addition , amendments nos 39 and 44 propose to the public only on dangerous products to inform you that if the ban on placing a withdrawal , and between the authorities , who are carrying out an exchange of information is not to allow . protected by professional secrecy or ordered was market surveillance mr martelli , normally , you can only at the end of voting time but i wish to give you spoiling briefly . report ( a5-0294 / 2000 ) by mrs eriksson , on behalf of the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities on the proposal for a council decision [ com ( 2000 ) 33 - c5-0386 / 2000 - 2000 / 0143 ( cns ) ) on the programme of support for the community framework strategy for equality between men and women ( 2001-2005 ) mr president , my question relates to the order of voting on the amendments relating to paragraph 10 , which deals with the armenian genocide deals . ( parliament adopted the legislative resolution ) the responsibility for both the governments of the european as well as the governments of the mediterranean partners . the aid is faced with this tragedy has more than justified . the nachtarbeitsverbot for women was one of the few areas where the legislation of some countries because of the protective measures in favour of women to win a little more progressive than it was for workers . i very much hope that the commission in future through prompt and annual reviewing it to the european parliament , making it possible to analyse and thorough discussions on . i regret that this is why voted against it . it is important that our products are safe , however , we should not allow us to extreme measures countless . currently , the agency for kosovo from a board chef in which the representatives of the member states and the commission each one vote riches and on the part of the decisions of two-thirds majority be tackled . i believe that this algerien-problem for serbia is kosova . the danish social democrats have voted against a report on the introduction of subsidies for pig producers in the eu supports it . it is even a certain opening-up of the french presidency , as i know that the commission 's proposals , and the council seems there is no majority for its approval to vat-free . these dislikes only even a slight modification of the supply may cause a crisis situation . mr president , the armenian genocide was the first in a number of genocide of the 20th century , it might be called a century of genozide describe it . since sweden is prepared to civil crisis management , but not in a common military defence , we cannot support paragraph 15 in which the ' desire for turkey to improve the european skills within the framework of the common european security and defence policy contributing ' welcomes . abstain , although not but apart from the obligation of which , in any democracy and the europeans who know how difficult and painful it is so difficult , given that some european countries they are still not fully met - that there must be such acts of cruelty , where ethnic , religious or cultural reasons lives destroyed and the universal conscience burdening , never again occur . erinnerns demand must - from it is of course , take a different matter which we are debating today , however , given the importance i attach , i wanted to point out once again , turkey 's earlier today . peace is today in these countries because the population exercising their right to self-determination will no longer in hampered . i have voted in favour of the amendments which , at present this request , so that these kindred feeling persists and the pain of people being recognised . tribute this happened at the time of the ottomanischen empire . the jové peres report like this situation does not only for the existing regional organisations and the currently under construction cease organisations , but he would like to add to it by the commission 's approach to abolish the specialists from different member states to support invoked . rationalize habitual i am referring , of course , to the issue we are dealing with today , namely the representation of the european community in the regional fishing organisations , but they relate , such as the negotiations within the framework of the world trade organisation . the proposed by the president-in-office , mr trittin and , of the european commission supports , so that parliament 's decision to three directives interlink to deal , in any great resistance . awakened by me zusammenfügung was amply to quote one example : pvc makes 0.7 % of total scorched volume from . finally , i would like to emphasise that the ppe-de group in the course of the third reading work satisfied . mr president , i too would like to thank mr blokland for the preparation of this important report . incineration is not re-use . the third reading this report by mr blokland has been for many first entered parliament elected members of the environment committee , the first ordeal , during the course of the practices of parliament were able to learn . they are now and ms evans pointed out that tougher emission limit values for new cement kilns to co-incinerate waste which were laid down . regardless of the situation in each country is , therefore , all the countries of the european union is a general reduction of compulsory expenditure and the growing importance of so-called zusatzkrankenversicherungen and strengthening the discriminatory factors . remarking almost itinerant furthermore , a draft directive on the following points : first and foremost banning the use of personal information from the genetic engineering ; no obligation for a gesundheitsuntersuchung before the introduction of a commitment by the insurer ; better rules for rückerstattungen in favour of people within the union relocating or in another country to be included , and finally , the introduction of a vermittlungsmechanismus . whether ; on the insurance cover lifelong learning should be drawn up employment since we are always valuing the cross-border provision motionless , the free-market principles in greater extent on the application of health care . for example serve us very often regarded as an example for the free market economy in the health policy , it would be fatal mistake , let us take an example . benchmarked ' . for example statistics enact or an insurance for all citizens . this makes the diversity of zusatzkrankenversicherungen jeopardized which currently exists in many countries which are based on actuarial principles . calls finally , it became clear that there is still a possibility that there were a quick treatment to be maintained . we are talking here about the health of all citizens of our member states and the cohesion of our territories . accidentally do not agree with these problems precipitate just floundering , because i come from the netherlands . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , mr rocard asks the commission , in a green paper characteristics of a basissicherung for statutory health insurances to define . this is a very big problem . mr president , anyone looking like an lives with investigating the social issues , has pointed out that the old definition of social protection as a whole from state protective measures for the coverage economically abschätzbarer risks to give up the solves the problem of the family and to deal with such risks , which is an individual or a family - not themselves bear succeeded . pflegten or sought - we are textbooks this means that we have to reflect on why the public medical a fiasco . who has suffered serious the zusatzkrankenversicherung presupposes a system of claims and services preceded by allowing . in an attempt to discrimination on the grounds of health , mr rocard , who golden egg sets out slaughtered . gans would abolish the commission will be within its powers swift action , and i shall try to respond to the conclusions of your report is a response . i also hope that the proposals are accepted , where the importance of training and will be of incorporation into working life regularised . hence the need to bear in mind that in spite of the exercise of a paid employment phenomenon of poverty and social exclusion is becoming more . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we also want to point of view of the committee on economic and monetary affairs , the rapporteur on her presentation compliment . the next item is the commission 's recommendations for a council position on updating the submissions made by germany , finland and the netherlands . this leads us to one other point , and we ask ourselves whether this stability and growth pact with the attainment of quantitative target of a certain endziffer fatigued or whether further points in relation to the quality of public finances in the forthcoming programmes should be included . our main message is : why is that the margin for abgabenkürzungen by a strict control of public expenditure must be followed . i believe that , overall , we can draw a positive conclusion . you mentioned that one of the largest and most countries , namely germany , the danger exists for the european economy overheating . mr president , thank you very much , mr della vedova . i suspect that you today , our position on these two aspects to the current measures in the fight against bse in europe and to develop in france , like to hear . we propose that the european commission and our partners in the union , in this way , the extension of testing at european level in accordance with scientific advice encephalitis . efficiency , transparency , independence and transparency will therefore be the guiding principles for the evaluation of the ernährungsrisiken in europe will apply . i shall return to this issue later . however , these tests in far greater extent necessary . active surveillance , including random testing to be developed in order to prevent it from bse in the feed and nahrungsketten ends . in a situation which we are now seeing is that we have always tried to keep finding a solution which , in one fell swoop both the risk dispelled as well restore confidence . lookout for , after a magic i will do the member states as to whether they are afraid that weaknesses in the implementation of checks in recent years , which is a violation of community legislation would , at the moment increased incidence play a role . monday both must be able to act quickly and simultaneously remain serious . it is up to you , commissioner , you rapidly to deliver . this is a particularly urgent demand , especially in relation to bse . our group calls for the ban on meat and bone meal for slaughter , as long as the member states and the introduction of the laws on bse-vorbeugung and the strict application of the european directives do not guarantee . quick all commissioner , i do not know whether this is a panacea but , on behalf of the precautionary principle is that i think it halted immediately to ban the use of meat and bone meal in the nutrition of all breeding animals unnecessarily , but also for pigs , poultry and fish . the debate , in order to scapegoats in the council , in the commission or in parliament to seek , in my opinion redundant within this house has begun . firstly , we must , as some speakers have already said , systematic tests in all slaughtered cattle out of the nutrition of europeans are intended . if we do with courage and ambitious action , which we can gesundheitsinteressen of europeans and the economic interests of our producers to combine , and that way we can restore confidence . i repeat that this professions in no way responsible for the crisis sawadski . that is why the european union must show solidarity with them . i also cannot accept the arrogance of some member states which do not carry out tests and does not have any legislation demand . the european solidarity must also be applied , because our policy has proved set-aside land , meat-and-bone meal for ruminants , nitrates and pesticides . itself as incoherent : then i must listening to what mr gollnisch here in this house , who says that the spearhead of the controversy surrounding bse has been said in his group . we also measures to stem the tide of all , the imposition of a run-up to the provision of unbedenklichkeitsnachweises current export ban for meat expedient . seuchenherde it is not acceptable that we support these priorities are not politically accordingly . i am very pleased that we are still on the extension of the tests on experimenteller basis speak . but if we introduce , if we meat-and-bone meal to destroy the culling of an entire herd because of a single sufferers of third countries with which we trade and the respect of live animals , and in the community exporting , equally stringent health demand . animal impose swingeing , then we must ec-type bse testing if we carcass fleischprodukte the reasons lie elsewhere . i welcome it has shown that the commission is finally vehemently in favour of generalised testing flagged . because it is precisely this : who is looking to the occurs , france has very what does not prevent us so keen to do something about this , because every time until a crisis occurs , before we come here and assure you that we as parliament 's health in the absolute priority ? ? the connection between the feeding of meat and bone meal - a very unnatürlichen nature of the feeding of animals , and bse is now clear to everyone . incidently here too i would urge the european commission to bring about a certain degree of harmonisation . i would urge the european commission to be a review of the blockade in france practised systems for dealing with bse contract . as a result of poison discharged into the system and destroyed conveyed this system . it is difficult , in this area duplicate national and european legislation into line with each other . in addition , there is legislation as to how this meat-and-bone meal as animal feed must be a more secure , in the system was in order to protect public health and food safety to ensure that this processed installed . it has already been said that there is a very expensive , of course , be a large number of carcase encompass befitting and so on . as examples cited : ' the kissentechnik ' , which the death of a immigrantin in belgium , the use of the transport of migrants in italy and spain , the tragedy of 58 chinese , the united kingdom , the port of dover , which were found dead , after they were arrested and the general application of coercive measures and einschüchterungsmethoden different types of vis-à-vis earmarked immigrants . sharp beruhigungsmittel in spain , in schiffsladeräumen zusammengepferchten several times on european soil caused exhibiting this obligation confess i onwards , and i am i advocate . the violence against women has many forms of violence in the family , a crime in the dark , the various forms of sexual exploitation , trafficking in women or even trafficking in human beings . : mr president , i would like to say to mr nogueira , i believe that it is in the us model monetary policy in the course of the central bank falls , and it is the european central bank , which according to the treaty of maastricht criteria is defined . mr president , i believe it would be even more so in the public is very important for the internal affairs and the visible , and i am interested : the commission will shortly before the physical introduction of the euro a campaign to launch of the population of the difference between domestic and visible of monetary stability to explain to distinguish between now ? as long as the greek side here does not work , we will pursue this has already initiated proceedings continue . we must ensure that there is a mess- and monitoring system exists . in the same decision by the commission is committed to the scheme in all member states , based on specific criteria to review the 2004 valid , since that date , the approval of the french scheme lapsing . tobacco-production the aim of the integration of europe manufacturing power in the words of the lisbon european council joint efforts and action is required . secondly , by the experience of the parties involved in the field of the ngos , local authorities , the social establishments and the person of exclusion stakeholders more fully into account . the would surely agree , but also those who have worked out of them no anständiges life permitted as , for example , farm workers . hours for low wages many elderly people it also concerns people with psychological disorders , as well as large groups , whose language is not enough to make a point to be found . in the united states is going through a more flexible employment to ensure that the poverty only very short period of time will be experienced as well as the problem of unemployment by very short duration is . in my own country , there are approximately 75 % of those who are working , living below the poverty of women . we must try to this important task for at least in part to play . these resources must be strengthened , constitutes one of the events and the realism into account , which is the field . . mr president , i would like to thank mrs figueiredo and your congratulations and thanks too to other members of parliament directed at the moment are not present and the opinions of other committees have expressed . i am in favour of the importance of non-governmental organisations and by regional and local players inescapably and their local experience better taken into account . as you we have already agreed that the committee on social protection regularly with the contact group of the european parliament should take . the next item is the report ( a5 ­ 0320 / 2000 ) by mrs rothe , on behalf of the committee on industry , external trade , research and energy on the proposal for a european parliament and council directive on electricity from renewable energy sources in the electricity market [ com ( 2000 ) 279 - c5 ­ 0281 / 2000 - 2000 / 0116 ( cod ) ] . we now need mandatory targets . another important point , the committee has agreed , that is the problem of netzanschlusses and of the netzzuganges for renewable energy sources . in my country , spain , if these guidelines specifically responsible for that 2010 , in addition 225 billion tonnes of co2 into the atmosphere and we would be the kyoto objectives could not do . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , the commission 's proposal to create a framework which makes it possible to medium term , the share of electricity from renewable energy sources in the european union to substantially increase , can only be welcomed . however , on behalf of compatibility with the internal market is still a danger assumption . waste is not a renewable natural resource , despite the fact that daily more and more produced . hereby gained this directive at present a anyone wishing topicality . nevertheless , i support this proposal wholeheartedly . mr president , i would like to thank mrs rothe for her excellent report , however , this week , in which we , along with the crisis of climate change wrangle , just a timely one . the promotion of electricity from renewable energy sources is very much in favour . we need are fundamental technological changes . instead , we are always only detailed in the field of energy without great respect conscientiously . finally , i would like to address just three issues in the course of this debate have arisen . the other hand , for reasons of consistency in national parameters mistake objectives to be binding because otherwise the directive on the substance and substance commitment dignity . for the same reason we support amendment no 3 in part , but not amendment no 7 , for the text of the proposal to technically it . but we cannot accept those parts of the application of the rules on state aid prejudice . the next item is the report ( a5-0308 / 2000 ) by mrs theorin , on behalf of the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities on the participation of women in the peaceful resolution of conflicts [ 2000 / 2025 ( ini ) ] . during the official processes almost exclusively men who will show how important the participation of women in the conflict settlement and in the search for peace is . dominates international experience and declarations decisions on implementation and enforcement of missions are the responsibility of the krisenstäbe , and that is the sach- and expertise of women too little attention and recognition . obviously they do not want their positions in the field of foreign and defence policy for themselves and can protect the interests of women in their view perfectly men will be represented . mr president , i would like to begin by expressing my interest in this report , and that , in my opinion brilliantly , indeed , is excellent . we also need financial resources available to it that will enable us to help the victims of this situation which have become amongst women . mr president , i shall confine myself to what has already been set out in detail , it is not repeated . i would like to begin by congratulating mrs theorin , for the initiative on this excellent report , which deals with an important , but also topical issue . it is , in fact , as an effective participation of women in the negotiations on the settlement of the world and the dominant culture of conflict and violence through a culture of peace , dialogue and the democratic system of disputes can replace . konfliken change has taken i therefore support the demands of the report says , women are entitled to diplomatic influencing should receive . a very good and thorough report , the basic principles with a clear acknowledgement , as happened in article 17 follows the same time , with a broad and very practical spirited necessary proposals . dokumentierter , relentless audacious personally , i condemn any rape and slavery ! my fifth point concerns the role of echo , the office of the european community humanitarian aid to the urging - and this parliament has made this request rallied - and also the gender dimension to unnoticed . the problem is that millions of people , mainly women , these activities exercise that is a very large thereafter , there is no legal certainty . drum but demand i think it would be in the context of the employment guidelines in accordance with the european parliament 's position on these guidelines have already been raised by the member states to settlement of the sector migrate will demand . the migrants are usually a large group in this area , what specific measures , such as specialist reception centres , the necessary assistance . requires this is a task for the member states . the demand is ten times risen to the fact that there was , however rarity in general careers and the related rights and obligations into account in the last few years . ( the sitting was closed at 12 midnight ) ( extremely loud applause ) we must not only the internal system of freedom and peace , but also with the habits and to reconcile the european community and in the european union decades will apply . create rules our first step in the federal state , is the establishment of a framework for broadest democratic dialogue about the nature of relations between the two republics . attempting to constitutionally rearrange they are the representatives of the european parliament directly to the citizens of europe 's citizens can understand why the possibility of accession to europe for us to the people of today 's republic of yugoslavia , incredibly precarious . sees its member states to represent the best next-door let us take sitting back . finally , we are dealing here with an extremely important and interesting question , and it would be appropriate , if we them during the day conclusion could entail for our citizens . the commission announced that it will be within a period of six months a concrete proposal , and it has been delivered . whereupon then with in the european union are already widely available and it is worth reminding you of that courageous citizens and many progressive member states already have for many years for more transparency fought . practically documents in this report calls for further processing , too , parliament called for , and in this respect , i believe that this is also here today to improvements must be reached . we are pleased that we in the report on the key principle asserting that we too on the committee on budgetary control with vehemence represented . now that it will also insight into what happened to take , for which the media and interest groups are not interested , and he gave can participate in the open and democratic debate , for confidence in the eu is so important . the possibility of the committee on petitions would have liked to shorter waiting until the publication of a document straightaway . as soon as they no longer necessary , should of course , these documents available . i would also like to stress that all citizens have access to documents in so many ways as soon as possible must be guaranteed . the dogma of political responsibility must not with the rights of citizens to openness to be confused . i would therefore ask the rapporteur to call for any reference to rights of members from the regulation , which are the subject of public access to documents is to remove all colleagues who have to look very carefully to ensure that their interests against the interests of the public be played off , and i do not . in these areas is access to documents is not guaranteed , and not only will the citizens of europe , but also to the european parliament will be informed deprived of hand neither nominally still to be fundamental documents consulted . a great rub remains , however purists . mr president , firstly i would like to thank mr cashman for a very good report . this is an extraordinarily important report , a significant part of what the new publication of the eu could call . ( technical interruption ) it is not just about the principle of unrestricted access to all documents , but also of course , is that we finally succeed in doors at council meetings to open up , so that the council in future no longer in the style of metternich in secret lonely choices and afterwards cheap brussels-bashing could conduct . secondly , i would like to comment on the question of exceptions . the people of europe is being undemocratic , as a place where behind closed doors decisions . according to article 255 of the treaty must be the proposed regulation before 1 may 2001 , which will be adopted in other words , two years after the entry into force of the treaty of amsterdam . you will allow me to say that i now turn to a advocacy of certain amendments tabled by the commission memories are a number of problems at the moment . as i said , we cannot accept the amendments in principle , but we must have the technical and administrative fuel-neutral to your work , for example , to the amendments on the classification of documents and registration . jointly in some cases , we have nothing written into the hands , and i would also like to propose for the future , that the commission to honourable members for their recommendations conveyed in writing . welcome we welcome the enhanced status of the impairment of the kreditrisikos , especially in the certainties , from smaller companies to be made . report ( a5-0321 / 2000 ) by mr blokland on the conciliation committee 's proposal for a european parliament and council directive on waste incineration ( c5-0371 / 2000 - 1998 / 0289 ( cod ) ] mr president , i would like to ask the european liberal , democrat and reform , as well as co-rapporteur for the whole a little more practical approach . so it is the joint wish both by the group of the european people 's party and european democrats , but also from the socialist group ( pse ) , the vote until the second november defer ( ppe-de ) . i therefore propose to postpone the vote on the report villiers at the second november-sitzungsperiode too . i am referring to the order constraining , which i have received , and this house has nothing else . decided by the sessional services that is what i can tell you today as turnusmäßiger sitting poised ; as their fellow mep , however , i agree with you . apart from its hostile attitude in the first stage , as the european parliament warning the pointed out , these measures were in the second phase , as the scandal in great britain , which , in essence , this country , without having a short-term measures to implement stricter controls and the restructuring of the husbandry at european-union level would have been started . wütete restricted in britain that is why we want to four main lessons to the future should be taken into account . we have voted in favour of this joint resolution . the increase in cases of new variant of creutzfeldt-jakob disease in england and the situation in france , the topic of " mad cow " ( bse ) once again on the agenda recede , this time with even more vivacious nature . out of fear amongst the population or in the effort to prevent a handelskatastrophe some governments have the necessary information in time for the commission communicated to the first gloves of hazardous phenomena does not immediately consumption of those affected and whose export products halted not prevented . panikmacherei that respectively the farmers alone cannot do anything about : we need a plan to accompany the cattle and measures to regaining consumer confidence in this crisis . the inability of the european institutions in their entirety ( council ) , an appropriate policy for the most directly affected member states will have problems of precedence between the constraints of the internal market and the health and sicherheitserfordernissen our population . pose , the commission , parliament set out the sicherheitsbedürfnissen accommodate after many discussions with the council we saw in several respects prevail . the shipment of waste and will be replaced by soon be consigned to the environmentally-friendly processes . the social sponsors and particularly the representatives of the underprivileged groups , on the programme advocating that the procedures involved - so we are on the renewed growth and the reduction of unemployment are pleased that we must not to turn a blind eye to the inequalities remain or become even worse ! i believe that the rapporteur rightly calls for greater involvement of the public authorities , social partners and civil society to current measures to combat poverty and social exclusion . the ' poor workers ' , mostly women , as teilzeitkräfte , to dumpinglöhnen and extremely precarious jobs are employed in the train of misery , in the official speeches so meisterlich ignoring . there was a ranks , on three years ago , the prime minister wrote that social exclusion is a task for the coordination of social exclusion through drawing-up all-out solutions to global problems . unit , which is to reduce fade these are now plants with more than 60 rotoren which thousand fußballfelder avail themselves of . without the development of renewable energy sources would result in the dependence of the eu 's present approximately 50 % by the year 2020 at 70 % increase . it goes without saying that it is on the use of nuclear energy and the storage of radioactive waste , the more enlightened and effective safeguards adhered to . we therefore need to look for ways of energy , which already exists , but as long as the technology , they make harness lesser-developed no-one has remained unused by its nature . during the preparation of asem 4 it applies to the democratic requirement to renew the one hand and the participation of elected representatives of civil society - especially in the form of a social forum - to be guaranteed and , secondly , the social rights and the environment and human rights are taken into account . giving information and latterly has had to deal with this parliament on several occasions against doppeldeutige statements and even against criticism reductionist . we have experienced the fact that the parlacen , with the same wechselfällen to behave like this parliament in its infancy . consequently , we had to fight for and the parlacen fighting continues to increase the powers that more funds to a greater presence and the asserting its representativeness . tobacco-production this must be american parliament as well as the european parliament to prestige , credibility and legitimacy win by making it focuses on the activities of its political groups , because that is the getreuliche reflection of society , or at least there should be so . sustains parteileben from you represent with regard to human rights , we support the cooperation programmes on respect for human rights , we are making on this subject inform people and for awareness since 1990 . ­ b5-0855 / 2000 by van den bos , on behalf of the eldr group ; the extreme confusion in the context of the elections in recent weeks in côte d ' ivoire , which has so far as economic musterland seemed to prevailed , is symptomatic of a country with an economic crisis , social desperation and as a result of political chaos prevail . the military , political and religious leaders must do everything in a national reconciliation as possible . it is particularly this debate on the ivorität put an end to any reference to the ivorität from the ivorischen constitution to remove the nothing more than the creation of national preference , which we in our own countries combating and preventing logical will eventually ethnic cleansing . it would mean verschwommenen ; it also has the support of its greatest enemy ouattara because of the fact that it is not his two parents ivorer are eliminated . grundgesetzänderung intention ; mr president , ladies and gentlemen , even if the ivory coast , compared to other countries in western and central africa in the past , a haven of stability and democracy , but there is a long time ethnic and religious tension , there was also abuse by the previous government under president bedié , and this has finally to violent military take-over but waged . it was ultimately we condemn the ethnic violence and , above all the political leaders , whose demagogy of trigger was . the next item is the joint debate on the following motions for resolutions : the forthcoming asean in december laos offers us a vital opportunity to regime in the strongest possible terms to condemn . incidentally , i have no confidence in our own ministers , that these issues there to raise . the asean has , in every respect , as a paper tiger proven , because it failed to refer to the terrible events in burma to react . the junta claiming that they intend to party as a whole annihilated . there is a historic inherited burden and , of course , the situation is difficult . this tentative improvements in recent years , the author of the amendments tabled by the socialist group , mr sakellariou , thanks to resulted in a situation which is certainly no longer tragic , but still disastrous anyway , at the level of the current tasks . vietnam is certainly not - which are - mr swoboda , the european parliament is flexible and efficient . nevertheless , it would be appropriate if the american president is not only on the strengthening of cooperation focus , but this especially- by specific commitments vietnam , the miserable situation in the country in every respect flourishes , to improve conditional on dignity . hanoi in i call upon the council and the commission to vehemently opposed to this gross violations of the religion of the vietnamese authorities to protest . the process has also on the signature of the cooperation agreement between the commission and vietnam in 1995 resulted . these are of course share of the motion for a resolution which we have tabled in that goods . i also believe that we must do everything we can to help them . most of them would , however , if we are to do something about the situation modify them , and countless other people in the world in this plight has raised . helped nowadays , medium- and long-term solutions being discussed . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , the alongside other european countries as well as great britain , spain , ireland and france in various areas that have been devastated by this parliament confronted with the problem of an emergency measure in order to ensure that the plight of the people affected , municipalities and companies , as well as a longer-term policy , in order to prevent a repeat of natural disasters such proportions . floods which over the last few weeks to alleviate norditaliens posts both exceptional it is precisely the transport sector is being given his predictable steady growth - on 38 % in the next decade , measures which will require greater scope . the debate is closed . this is perhaps the most important of habits of this parliament , but it seems to me to be able to give the impression that parliament 's europeans with such a low turnout at such an issue responds to the european commission such a role confers . but very delicate undertakings ( parliament rejected the request to postpone the vote ) the economic and social policy , the eu 's purchasing power and the ability to pay , has limited , and the appearance of new diseases and the zügellosigkeit the drug companies have the costs of the health sector flourishes in higher contributions to the workers . in this way will the private insurers a broad opened , provided that they choose to patients and the premiums ( initially ) not after diseases from . anyone who does not receive a lot of money and self-proclaimed counts , no longer with . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , i am particularly pleased that my presence here today in a visitors from my own constituency , i warmly welcome the fine words can be discussed . what this means that the institutes enough time there will be based on the new rules prepare . the report is mentions the fact that growing consensus is that the current rules incapable of exhibiting the developments of the financial sector in the last ten years into account . we say yes to greater account of risikomindernden techniques , and we also say yes to enlargement of the grundgedankens of basel committee . with the same satisfaction we take the important contribution to this report on the gesamtprozess note . finally , and that is the crucial point , we are fully aware that we are in the treaty established institutional balance must be respected . the vote will take place tomorrow at 9 p.m. instead . allow me finally to take this opportunity to deal with the ombudsman , jacob söderman , on his work in the fight against maladministration in the administration and thereby simultaneously in the struggle for greater openness in the work of the community institutions to congratulations , mr president , i wahrnehme . mr president , the european parliament has happily completely in line with the scandinavian beamtentradition always fought for it to the position of the ombudsman to strengthen and consolidate . the vote will take place tomorrow at 9 p.m. instead . lastly , access to documents , and one which is no more important than the prüfungsunterlagen a basic civil applicants document . we think that it is legitimate to have a drain on its own korrigierten audit work , for access to documents is a fundamental right which , moreover , the charter of fundamental rights recognised , on the week we voted on . gaining access so it should be . all other bodies and institutions should follow suit , as the committee on petitions has recommended . the citizens of the european union must be in contact with the community institutions is a positive one . and this means in this case , the best practices to follow and everything that is to prevent what happened after the credibility of the union in the member states themselves in misskredit can bring our new . what other institutions is concerned , depends on the application of this report and in the demands of the ombudsman has raised procedure from your own hands . the minutes of yesterday 's sitting have been distributed . if you resulting from a disaster , then it is democracy , but if they do not want to come , then you have to do not agree . earn unavoidable are prevented from being disrupted the criteria are true , but also other aspects , in particular , to be taken into account , of a gewichtungsparameter for the other contracting parties , and it is in line with the assets of a bank drugs-related kreditrisiko approximiert . its underlying a stricter banking supervision must solvabilitätskoeffizient provisional creation of a european police academy ( epa ) this plays a leading role in order to be the main objective , for the citizens of europe a higher level of safety within the european area of freedom , security and justice should be guaranteed . police cooperation the enlargement of the european union , which is an extension of the territory of the free movement of persons brings with it by the additional measures for safety and that must be peaceful coexistence of the member states accompanied . as i see that they are the conditions in french and portuguese prisons completely different . in other words , if you want , you must first of all , because otherwise they will have a training , which is completely different to help . define these common standards thanks to the work done by mr posselt is now finally provided for the training of polizeipersonals too in the areas of human rights and defence policy must be carried out , just as important and appropriate today is the recommendation to the internet which virtual police college to create . but we are here in strasbourg in an almost deserted chamber that needs to be utterly incredible with listen . it is a good idea , and in the european union , where people enjoy free trade and the right of residence , where people from scotland to sicily or greece , it is only logical that if the emergence of a common system for the maintenance of law and order expected . movement , where there are travel can in the netherlands , the police on the de-escalation of conflicts and to repressive tolerance , using existing subkulturen , ethnic minorities and the use of churches as zufluchtsstätten for people without any legal residence status and political protestveranstaltungen than the normal social phenomena will apply . training for those who have good solutions believes , for which he advocates , must not afraid of them to find solutions to the detriment of measure . i hope that the académie here a starting point for the future will provide . this is a good example of what we now call for a europe which is in direct contact with each other unsettles , without creating unnecessary aufgeblähte beamtenapparate . as vernetztes europe of nations group the majority of cases of child abduction are currently very efficiently and in an appropriate manner by the central authorities in all member states cleared up . this is a loophole for reasons of fairness and of realism in view of social development and the same rights and obligations for all citizens of the european union must necessarily be closed . commute must meanwhile we welcome this measure and will scarred by whole-heartedly our voice . we feel sympathy for the target and agree with the proposed measures . in this one day it is clear to people who are often around the world travel to a child to see . this view of the commission will also by the european parliament 's opinions on this matter , and by the court of justice of the european communities confirmed . i know that the fifa has already playing for time and waited too long , until you on the 1998 published by the commission formal explanation whatsoever streaming . axiomatic , the union will be in the future of the issues of sport competent commissioner . deputising for wada decision by the united kingdom for the collection of laying-down of nichtbritischen hauliers ireland is undoubtedly a very small , but open market , but most of what we are buying comes from great britain . finally , i would like to say that it is for this debate in the european parliament is too early , however , i welcome the statement by commissioner vitorino , from the very clear right from the uk government has stated that a system of euro-vignette introduce , as long as this , in accordance with the already systematics rules and regulations fingertips , as well . mr president , levies and mauttarife are of course , and i can confirm specifically for austria , where we have this discussion , and where course constantly solutions for a good problems sought . sensitively constantly there is no other drivers or hauliers across europe to benefit from british lorry drivers discriminated against . the pays a lot more for his vignette , unless there is a certain reduction in a per-diem-basis provided to him . on 22 november , i.e. precisely on the 25th anniversary of the king of spain , had to be one of the most exciting representatives of his faith in freedom , tolerance and respect for others turn with life . crowned by juan carlos , the path of democracy has opened up democracy i therefore ask you to take all relevant speeches very carefully to keep in mind . the european union 's negotiating position focused on the securing of the environmental objectives of the kyoto protocol in the areas landnutzungsänderung and forestry , to the issue of the ' sinks ' , the relationship between the kyoto protocol second-phase mechanism and national measures , including ' ergänzungsgrundsatz ' identified and the system of erfüllungskontrolle . during the preparations for the next part-session , the eu should not all issues again discuss ; it is based on priorities , therefore , above all , to reduce the mechanisms for the ' ergänzungsgrundsatz ' and rigour . erfüllungskontrollen ' , ' mr prescott is now under the wasseroberfläche disappeared , and we do not know how long it there is still rising . my final comment : i think it is true that they are on the question of the guns have remained , and , above all , because it is extremely difficult to zincs precisely to measure . zincs for the nuclear power is no prospect of a comeback . however , there is still further . next meeting in bonn in may 2001 , should gleichheitsprinzip stipulated . at the forthcoming conference in bonn in may 2001 should still have an effect compromise was found . the task before us , in view of climate change , which is certainly one of the 21st century , when we are all in future a planets want , on which we live . might have motionless ones the same applies to the partial use of co2-senken and by additional aufforstungsprojekten . the hague conference will , as you , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , as we have announced that next spring in bonn proceeded with . madam president , thank you , commissioner wallström , for your comments . if there is a matter that there are no differences of opinion , this was true for the relationship between the european parliament delegation and the commission . insisted on the there is no doubt that during the next cop 6 fails to reach agreement . we were very constructive and have until the last minute this hague conference negotiations . you have the floor , mr president-in-office . with regard to the coordination of social security systems , to asylum and immigration , the trade in services sector , a very important issue , which have certain countries still have serious problems . fiscal policies , which visa i should like to add that the seats in the european parliament have no agreement has been reached . reaching an agreement which the union to act according to the new accessions ensures that currently being prepared , which is a significant challenge for the future of the european union and the enlarged union . actively your president is of course invited . they will be presented in nice and - as we hope , of course , be approved . as you can see , there are nice in a great deal to be discussed . in a union of 27 or more member states will be unanimity simply lead to any progress in the areas in which we in this principle upheld , avoided . you spoke of the european parliament codecision . ( applause ) this task is to reunite our continent . the task of enlargement , as it has not been so far , and this must nice prepare ourselves . old madam president , the main objective of the nice summit is the enlargement of the european union and the preparation of this enlargement . madam president , mr president-in-office , mr president , mr president , i have had the governments of the 15 disagree with glory . this is not the right method . now , it has been proposed in 49 areas with a qualified majority voting . qmv shirk the parliamentary democracies in the member states the right of veto , but the eu itself will not lead to a parliamentary democracy . europe needs leadership is needed precision , needs to take decisions decisiveness . the attempt to blackmail by proclamation seems to us in the face of the conclusions of the european council in biarritz unacceptable , even though it was informally . we are in fact believe that the conclusions of the nice summit a passage vary according to which the commission is , a framework for this sector to develop . i shall confine myself to the treaty of nice comment , if i am aware , however , i feel that the debate here as a result schizophrenic . in amsterdam , the heads of state and government have not been , and this class must now once again in nice . nachsitzen once enables if the difference between large and small in the council will , we are in a few years a great legitimationskrise within the european union must have feared that , because the small , then no longer feel at home , because they fear of their identity will no longer be able to defend . excessive the prime minister and the prime minister of france faring there seems to be given priority to their own political future and less about the future of europe . the text is not incorporated into the treaties and receives only a political signature , then , can considerable legal interpretation arising . furthermore , i would like to stress how important it is , in our union with a strong institutions , the institutional system , with the euro extra acceleration of the economic level has occurred , neutralising . not vacuum stated aims of this reform are the formation of an enlarged europe gerüsteter institutions and also the reduction of indisputably existing democratic deficit . effektiverer for better but there are also talking about the restructuring of the 133 committee itself to a much greater democratic control kow-tow , whose conclusions must be accessible and the itself by a broad and comprehensive composition . energy-efficient must be agenda ; mr president , i am not only to the president-in-office , but also all the governments of member states , if i have indications that these difficult issues also then continue to pursue them if no agreement has been going on in nice . the proper application of the codecision procedure in the past few years has shown that it works . the first step should therefore consist of commercial decisions already qualified majority to make . as a seven-year-old girl killed before they are forced to invasion of the red army from their home country flee , and as a refugee prior to the attack by soviet fighter-planes in rifts to hide . the fellow-commissioner mr méndez de vigo was right to the charter of fundamental rights pointed this out . longer can we expect from him . the agreement reached by the united states of the day , is certainly not the lowest common denominator but , unfortunately , but rather a small , a very small common denominator . likely mr president , i would like to begin by thanking the members of parliament , because i believe that this debate to be extremely niveauvoll . it was therefore not a question of the charter failing to declare that this is not a question of transparency . ' because the principle of equal rotate affects the large countries , like everyone else to a certain time no commissioner more could have . i believe that parliament will see that the union 's institutional mechanisms has found that will enable it to the further development of the european union , all of us unites us , to overcome . strenuous efforts misses the vote will take place tomorrow . mr president , i would like to endorse the statement by mr van orden . i am unambiguously against the fact that a eingeladener minister threatening will - and this also applies to the turkish foreign minister . there is no doubt that we here in this house for european democracy , the safety of all our guests and each one of us in attending to ensure amach . under the slogan " no " and with the statement that we are tumours with the italian minister for the dignity of the undermined by making it called for the liberalisation of drugs . pills harm ' sickness has marijuana . ' this is a poor coordination , were not represented in order to be an insult to our parliament - unless one is the view that the meps had nothing to say , although they have adopted - that they will participate in this forum for the european union can take part in which they last year with the ngos and the institutions to debate on human rights recently the charter of fundamental with a very large majority at least numerous to say . we now have enough debated . it was before the european parliament 's opinion as well as the commission that we preferably a foreign policy vice-president responsible for the commission , to have the same time , the role of the high representative , with a special obligation and connected with the council should take . now amsterdam as the european parliament before the feira european council on 15 june for a resolution , it should also adopt a text which has its position before the nice council roof . progressively tomorrow the development of the esdp is a new vital project of european construction , therefore , the existing institutional framework to be revised . in nice , should the european council several decisions confirm that i want to mention them . for the first debate at the beginning of this year the commission will produce a countries identified statusbilanz for the past year , out of the state of decommitments , the payments are still to be amounts for the most important from the community budget and edf programmes financed by the emerges . and the post-crisis we have also tackled the issue of regional cooperation , a concept which toned down of the countries of the region , because they are not in a past that you surmounted . but i believe , that you have understood that there is no contradiction between a regional cooperation and its further development of their rapprochement with the european union , especially on this occasion confirmed and präzisierten stabilisation and association process . there is some resistance in awakened by re-engage included wished had to be able at this summit invalidates previously , it is a summit with india , and a ministerial meeting with the asean will still be held under the portuguese presidency was given . this does not mean , of course , that we discouraged . i would like to remind you of the wide range of tasks : humanitarian aid , evacuation of third-country nationals , conflict prevention , but also the military separation of belligerent parties . it is obvious from the entscheidungsautonomie of the european union and the recognition of the voluntary nature of the commitments made from political . he has personalisierung of more than others in a part of the world imparted , which i know very well , and has worldwide recognition for his efforts garnered . as a conflict resolution i think the media , in my country on setting up of these troops very odd . i would like to thank mrs lalumière for her reference to the report , which the commission , together with the high representative for the european council in nice . prepared to conflict prevention thank you very much , commissioner patten . in my opinion , the european union in order actually to under the microscope . ungeduldige people complain about the fact that the mill of european bureaucracy infinitely grind slowly . but the eurocitizen must as far as possible access to information and documents received . from the proposals before us is not clear what this task should be . with a european flag on car comes out , even in the refugee camps entlegendste everywhere . for these reasons , europe must , in my opinion , this must now decide to act . if we do not set out in a responsible role regardless of the united states to assume that we must expect to see that we are also in other konfliktherden as a mediator mistrustful sustains as europeans in resolving this conflict . just to her personal commitment cannot replace the democratic legitimacy of european security and defence policy . a few details of the report by mrs lalumière i cannot accept . in the final vote i shall vote for rejection of the report . the neglect of this wide of the civil conflict prevention in the long term as a mistake , and here i am statements by the council does not appear to point out that we have already adopted decisions , but it will somewhere since heading ! instruments will prove rich as you will understand that we shall vote against both these reports and commit ourselves , everything in our power to oppose the policy ... thirdly , a kernwaffenfreier corridor , as it palme once olaf , which is of the baltic to the black sea to build . voicing i would like to congratulate mrs lalumière on her report . in mr brok 's report also mentions the office of the high representative for common foreign and security policy touched upon . pity beats , i would appeal to my colleague mr van orden and others too , because my fellow members ' small teich ' , the irish sea have , in this area so much to offer the tradition of experience and practice . behind the : according to our understanding is that the european parliament in cooperation with the national parliaments for the most suitable body . i believe that our experience from these recent developments in the future , if we are dealing with the need for a european defence policy and ­ capacity building , which in my view , an important component of european integration as the single currency is just as well in good stead . i also believe that the combination of these different means of a specific situation of the european union and that is our duty , if this policy is carried out and upward , consist of a genuine european culture of conflict prevention and management to develop . ­ , a specific possibility must i believe instead that it is a positive dialogue will develop . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , the resignation of the commission in march 1999 has demonstrated the need for a reform of its structure and working methods is . the reform can certainly be prepared , however , we must be understandable and trade unions , and all staff , and these must be explained in the whole process be confiscated from above . this provision will take time , however , it is essential and important for the reform . the reform of the commission is an essential prerequisite for the future of our institutions . the drafting my report i could not only the white paper study , but also for the second report of the committee of independent experts and the proposed resolution on the work of this experts who , on 19 january of this parliament has been adopted by michiel van hulten . the court of auditors stresses in his report that he is not opposed to this abolition by other procedures being replaced by at least equivalent collateral arrangements and the other players than the finanzprüfer can involve the abolition of ex-ante-sichtvermerks if such . it is a growing opening-up of the big companies to observe that they will be more transparent , they provide the information technology innovatively distancing itself from the old vertical organisation by providing information on companies and between them . swapping across a ; they allerorten mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , despite its scope reproaches from the white paper presented by any real institutional questions to commissioner kinnock . we have , moreover , this afternoon in the context of the debate on the common foreign policy debated . finally , the thorny issue of the proposal for a dégagement be tackled . the surrender of financial control to the directorate-generals is an important step forward , and they will only work if the adequately trained staff to be sufficient funds available and the competence of the linienmanager suitably increased . the institutions and its chairman must be clear about the possibilities for the best possible implementation of the administration . disciplinary procedure - and here too there is promises , but not yet clear rules , no clear messages , such as these rules are to be implemented , and also the question of external has not yet settled finally . such a change is necessary in order to god truly to serve and cannot be forced through legislation . and as always , when it comes to changing circumstances which are also clearly achtsamkeit and rigour required . established withdrawing a split vote on the last part of amendment no 15 , since we are not satisfied that the current system in the ecb 's themselves to this situation will lead nos 6 and requesting as i previously belonged to the commission president jacques delors , and this was working on this side by side with mr brittan and beforehand with mr cockfield . parliament has already been said mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , we are pursuing this reform with betterment justified expectations . issues such as bse , oil prices and have a very greenhouse european dimension . people must also have the feeling that the commission really accessible and transparent . the reform of the european parliament has an important matter to which it is in the budgetary authority and legislators a decisive influence ôhe . in relation to the stupidity of the institution which can be used in the civil servants employed , is also a series of clear procedures laid down for the various channels . notify deliberate inside and outside that is why i am sure that we have had the pleasure to listen to them in the future either . let me just say to mr garriga polledo , the categories of financial perspectives still remain . the reform of the staff of the commission too will be supported , and it does so . acceptability must in our opinion , is a cosmetic reform at this time profound change does not make sense . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , i should like first of all the quality of the own-initiative report by mrs sauquillo reforming the commission and its impact on the european union 's relationship with the developing countries to highlight . we strive for greater accountability to . we are talking about that , we must try to eliminate those who benefit from the exploitation and take-up of hardship suffering populations have drawn to identify and to account . all existing causes of profitmacherei and before the aid but , as mr nielson 's collegiate responsibility so zugeneigt , it is the proposal heue evening certainly defend . worse still is , in our opinion , the commission 's proposal retention territorial division . for the year 2001 , for example , is the transfer of fiscal responsibility for the modernisation of the edv-anlagen with fifteen delegations and the creation of additional posts at the external service provision . 22 delegations , 1998-40 maritime safety but the erika , as well as the ievoli sun were not french-owned ship . it is since the erika eleven months ago , on the agenda of the commission completely dominate much . fateful we hope and expect that the transport council on 21 december staked part of the common determination of the european institutions contributes to the adoption of common positions on all three legislative texts , improving safety at sea instilled . i think that the opportunities available for this very well , but we need to make sure that this agreement will also become a reality . i appreciate the efforts of the minister , in these two reports as quickly as possible to conclude , therefore , i welcome his proposal , the question , if possible , in december to deal with , for basically welcome . and too . we have proposed a parliamentary report drawn up in the improvements in some respects , but which are aimed at strengthening the klassifikationssystems as an instrument for guaranteeing the safety of maritime boil . as a result of all of amending directive however , remain the legacies from the years in which materials in the sea sunk . they tauchten sometimes back and we homes , often with very unpleasant consequences . suggested were simply in this context , the publication of information is a crucial factor for the sorts of public access to information , helplines , etc . i have great hopes in the second series of proposals and the creation of a european maritime safety agency . i think your consideration for respectable , but we can only on the results of negotiations , the council were examined . we know that the control over the past scharfes for maritime safety , we know that not all classification their control over schiff-tüv correct and sensible , but rather schlampig have done it well , and we know that tanker without double hulls schwimmende time bombs . pose no sword was we are counting on the one hand , new credibility , and we should not act in the commission on the other hand frittering away by untrue . those who lived up to its responsibilities , in our waters and in our ports simply nothing to do . the watts report provides tougher measures against vessels , which is a serious risk or under flags of convenience without , however , these flags abolish . nevertheless , i am glad that the commission 's proposals are the main demands of the members of the french , as the ban on single-hull oil tankers , increase checks in ports and the assessment of the classification societies . coastal regions have taken equally i agree with his suggestions for compulsory tachograph too . as has already been said , is required to guarantee the safety important measures in relation to the people responsible societies and the visit . in short , measures which , with the safety of the desired level to bring that are non-binding . everyone talks about which i think it is quite right that the present for this port state requisite 25 % -zielvorgabe still not being achieved . the time for this lame compromises , which is also difficult to implement , has passed . i would like to take this opportunity - and this is also the main focus of the current debate on the liability of lying . my task - i emphasise once again , it seems to entanglement with regard to the port state rules need to escalated and controls will be increased . the laschheit vis-à-vis big business is an indication that this powerful than the democratically elected institutions . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , during a debate , the safety of ships and endanger the safety of human beings and the protection of the environment , on the subject , it indubitably an extremely important issue . the reports are along these lines . we agree with regard to setting a mindesthöhe for personenschäden or deaths and damage , and it is left to the member states , these sums budgeted . the introduction of new technologies and constructive improvements to the ships are part of this important work . we need to reach a consensus at the highest possible regulatory and safety . i am pleased to say that the commission many people in these three reports proposed amendments will be supporting . the commission accepts amendments nos 6 , 7 and 8 condoned , however , no one can only partly accept amendment no 1 . it is expected that the imo 's ausmusterungsplan at its meeting in april of next year formally approve . the commission 's task here is to ensure that the classification society continues to set quality criteria , and the performance of classification societies to monitor the directive honours . the commission noting with gratitude for the support vis-à-vis their originally proposed limitation . this shows once again how urgent the adoption of better , preventive and stärkender action at community level for the protection of our seas is . mr turco , i heard your message and will take this into account . on the other two reports , namely the report on the schiffsüberprüfungs- and ­ societies and the report on port state , however , opinions differ . most of the issues enters the european parliament for the strictest apaches one . madam president , i would like to propose that the amendment to the effect that he , with the words : " , in this respect , council and the commission to amend begins urges ' . report ( a5-0329 / 2000 ) by mr pomés ruiz , on behalf of the committee on budgetary control on the commission 's white paper on reform of the commission - competences of the committee on budgetary control [ com ( 2000 ) 0200 - c5-0445 / 2000 - 2000 / 2215 ( cos ) ] mckenna report ( a5-0336 / 2000 ) the privatisation of classification societies , the shipowners are , and the lack of effective control of the schiffsinspektion by public authorities and the tacit understanding between these authorities let capital is still maßloser trouble-shooter . in the hands of the switched i therefore welcome the fact that the rapporteur , mr watts , vachetta and piétrasanta tried to the commission proposal still exist plug gaps . for the implementation of these measures are therefore of the member states . einhüllen-tanker should no longer here plying must , however , if you look elsewhere in the years 2005 , 2010 or 2015 disappeared . with the proposals submitted by mr hatzidakis , however , those of the commission curtailed . the promotion of a stricter standards at international level must be a fundamental objective of our policy on safety at sea cupboards . it is particularly important to make it clear that the polluter pays principle must apply in full . this community intervention by the reactivation of the imo will be strengthened , which is equipped with real polizeibefugnissen the implementation of ism-codes , an effective instrument modelled on europol would be . as long as the cost of breaches of legislation , which are to be enterprises , which maximalgewinne aspire to keep the wrong choices for their compliance . preparation of the nice council instead of human rights and social rights which are designed to facilitate the charter sub-measures which is the reduction of their levels . disheartening i find this idea , but unfortunately in the resolutions . although i would like to say so , how many times regrets that the prime minister , lionel jospin , during this year because of cohabitation ' so often expressed , but i know that he ministers continually strong impetus has been , and i . half ; the social field proposals are very modest and deported nor even to the lisbon summit adopted substance . this concerns in particular the need for strengthening economic and social cohesion . undertakings in this respect , we should not take a decision which the risk of alienating the citizens of europe . inherent to the development of the eu the british people want to ensure that the eu , with the reform more responsibility will be taken to ensure that they will be more efficient . the text adopted in the future in ever more distant rückende ) enlargement on the pretext in order to strengthen the system to demand , which is already in the last trains seacoast . ' now there is no longer just between large and small ' , but the ' grandees ' debatable , but also among themselves . subcontractors ' saloon . ' we welcome and support the report , the number of important tendencies in the development of the common foreign and security policy touched on . how does this report of the european parliament , in principle the balance sheet of the cfsp is devoted to the wohlbekannte method to gradually gaining ground to gain by making a breach of the langer was unceasingly expands , regardless of the treaties and of the european council meetings decisions . federalist in a particular area , each year ritual de facto in the course of our conversation overheard he that a rapid reaction force of the countries of the european union is built up in order to achieve peace in and around europe to obtain . it is not the task of the european parliament , the capacity of a european rapid reaction force or to decide whether , in this connection , for example interventionskapazitäten in the field of sea and warplanes have . define the conflicts in the future could not through military intervention , but only by a policy aimed at the social , economic and ecological justice to be resolved . we are totally opposed to this european army , as well as against nato and our own national army . for example , there are too far-reaching wordings on the cfsp and nato , about the threat of armed force " as leverage in conflict prevention , which is directly to the un charter . contravenes the use of ' report ten years after the revolution in the east , we believe that ' the european peace-promoting enterprise ' applicant countries with these reports unedifying signal sent a . just six of these paragraphs contain statements which belong to the subject . unfortunately , there is the clear intention to national abtreibungsgesetze disrupting and to glaubenstraditionen , who are opposed to the abortion validation , even abzustrafen or repress them . it would certainly be many tens of thousands of women in the european union pleased that we are dealing here with the legislation of domestic in the black economy inquire , if they knew . stakeholders . mrs smet proposes , for example , the introduction of a european definition of haushaltsdienstleistungen before . in the drafting of labour legislation are the needs of household helps to take into account . they have their contributions to the various national governments for which this as quickly disappear . proceeded taschenspieler eloquent finally , reminiscent of the group union for europe of nations emphatically reiterate that the citizens of the european union more than ever expected that during the course of the measures to reform and in the attitudes of the diversity of our countries existing opinions and persuasions consideration . with regard to the human resources must be the new administrative reform , especially on the ability of staff and greater transparency in the staffing policy generally be devised . i would like to use this explanation of vote , to insist on and to emphasise our parliament has unfortunately not all the power to it should have . with a point of order i will conclude . the information is in fact , contradictory , mr barón crespo . it is not the case that the socialist group does not want . that is what makes us problems : it is an important summit and do everything we say that binds us . i must point out that the committee tomorrow afternoon , is going to meet in order primarily with the conclusions of the intergovernmental conference evaluate . ( parliament gave its assent ) i would be very grateful if you entsprächen this concern . i condemn the fact that in rotterdam , a few days ago , one of the hunger strikers sympathisers from one command of the grey wolves , was murdered . that would naturally have been unnecessary if the council in june and the amended proposal of the european commission , which has a lot of headway in our direction , was a little more or actually paid had our first reading at all . thirdly , then it must be considered whether the rules , which we agree to contribute to the internal market work better and whether they are compared to the desired objective motionless . our second concern is specifically non-legislative nature and the recommendations from the explanatory statement of the court of justice ruling on the abolition of tobacco ' ; it is only a arbitrary interpretation of these reasons we have reached the conclusion that these two aspects are not compatible with each other . interrelationship between the harmonization of the market and the health re-established , and we are strictly complied has forced us to arising for still closer recently enacted . ' mr president , ladies and gentlemen , there have been deaths in connection with the new variant of creutzfeldt-jakob disease , and europe to be ministers , the commission , parliament decided to take a tiermehlverbot and compulsory tests for bovine animals aged over 30 months , before their release for human consumption . 80 in europe , the in our opinion , it is quite clearly that article 95 , together with article 133 of the legal basis for this directive , as the committee ado in amendment no 1 proposes . according to the court is a total ban on tobacco advertising in the name of a smoothly functioning internal market unjustifiable . since pointers as ' and ' low tar ' , ' mild ' and ' in my opinion is misleading , i am against basically on amendments nos 10 and 30 . easily i should also like to talk about the treaties containing obligation . the rapporteur , mr maaten , has proposed that this legal basis by invoking article 133 on trade , and he has also proposed that a number of changes in order to avoid this directive on the basis of the systematics jurisprudence of the court 's ruling contest it . einleuchtender with explanatory memorandum to another , to be strengthened , in a few articles i regret the fact that the committee on legal affairs and positions have been calling for the court of justice imposed a ban tobacco advertising directive in a way aushöhlt are represented . as a member of the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy : by various groups , the sale of tobacco products in europe rigour to regulate . i am very clearly highlighted the need to pay greater attention has been presentation paradoxically , the cultivation of tobacco in the community does not banned - even in countries such as greece , the tobacco produced so much that it would be a punishable offence to him for processing use under this directive in this directive . many thanks also to mr byrne for lucid diagnosis of the legal basis . in the european union die over half a million people a unnecessary death , and this figure will increase if we do not act now . this is my belief that nothing , and that is why it is true that the trade unions , that the farms that my fellow members here to the loss of jobs . clues legal govern i am in favour of a list of ingredients , europe-wide , with which children be helped , of smoke , tar , nicotine and addiction spared to stay . alerts in bildform sensible supporter gesundheitsförderungsmaßnahmen this compromise was also the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy . as i understand it , would be the exception of article 3 piloting , i.e. the tar , nicotine and carbon monoxide . amendment because of the universal nature of the directive is not the other hand , and that is why we must do everything we can solve a tilt . compilation of a maximum health for some großpackungen would be a reasonable solution . to conclude by saying that i am pleased to announce that the commission can accept the 54 amendments of the report 33 either totally or in part beginnings . the main argument in favour of these amendments and a report respectively after five years , is basically the enlargement of the european union , and it is in accordance with the nice summit , it is particularly timely and relevant . speaks the summertime seems synonymous with an increase in life , and the positive effects of the greatest importance for the temporarily arise because of the zeitumstellung more than one . summer-time the summertime is not the problem for our common house europe . a unique re-examination from the commission in five years is not enough . in addition , the needs of the manufacturers of computers and electronic tachograph and which have terminkalendern and taking into account . madam president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , for the patients ' needs medical research must be approved , but it must be respected , and the individuals must be protected against abuse maximum speedily and without bureaucracy ethically based limits stringently . this is an important distinction that we here in our report dividends . even if , in relation to the council is still some contentious points , i would like to remind you that the desired result of long and fruitful search for compromise is that we have our rapporteur , mr liese , whom i would like to thank for his partizipative and constructive way thank you , and the council , which is the second reading authorized environment 's amendments to cooperatively and openly showed , thanks to . stay adopting this directive . i am thinking particularly of research in connection with the krebsbekämpfung , but there are many other areas . unfortunately , despite corresponding new threats and diseases , and often enough , the existing medicines to cope with them . there is the duty of doctors , modernised or more effective means of preventing these challenges . anzumahnen resort measures in order to the vote will take place tomorrow at 12.30 p.m . a second reading and has been adopted by the action programmes so that no vacuum created with the council , with the commission and of course , also with the environment committee agreed that these four programmes is to be extended by two years , as the commission has set out the means available to the fact that the new health programme and put into effect , it is no longer be able to appropriations for the second year will be used to avoid uninterrupted with able to , but annually . if meantime understandably verlängerungsbedarf and of parliament . it is high time that the member states to work out of the european union in a perfectly legitimate supranational issue more room for manoeuvre and correspondingly more resources to grant : because diseases know no frontiers . lets estimates of international organisations such as europol adopted according to the import of drugs in the union even too . public health is national policy , and it should remain . the next item is the report ( a5-0355 / 2000 ) by mrs cerdeira morterero , on behalf of the committee on citizens ' freedoms and rights , justice and home affairs , on the initiative of the portuguese republic in relation to the adoption of a framework decision on the standing of victims in criminal matters ( 9650 / 2000 - 2000 / 0811 ( cns ) ] . c5-0392 / 00 ) , a further initiative at international level , the un declaration on fundamental principles of the treatment of victims of crime victims and abuse , which was adopted by the resolution 40 / 34 of the united nations general assembly on 29 november 1985 . lawful you may recall to the debate on the so-called di pietro-bericht , for some time ago in this house has gone . with this initiative will be three fundamental concern : the right to information , access to justice and the right to compensation . pursues the victim 's the most important aspect is , however , i think that in the fact that we are also aware of the need to be a new approach to the approach taken by the member states to combat crime to be found . endlich at union level the member states should be obliged to special police forces for verbrechensopfer set up . italy has repeatedly in france , where lojacono on walked free unwell , extradition requests for this multiple murderer asked him to get his sentence sentence may . it must always victim centred on - not the perpetrators ! as you will have noticed that there are three different types of measures intended to be minimum rules concerning the rights of victims are specific rules introduced with which the individual capable of those people who should take into account in any of the member states have fallen victim to her , and , thirdly , the member states adaption of measures to support to victims . devising a criminal offence , which has not heimatstaat in rahmenbeschlussentwurf : firstly enacted secondly ; it is already doing , the networking of national services for the support of sacrifice at european level in order to provide proper help for victims to guarantee , particularly when they are in a country other than the offence of life . approval of the minutes of the previous sitting has the floor once again , mr varela , chairman of the matter competent committee on fisheries . na bravo so ! we still have a trialogue meeting of the joint declaration by the council and parliament in the final touches unravelling . last tuesday we have therefore managed to finding a solution for the 2001 budget to be given . we must consider how we in the field of promotion all the existing needs to be transparent procedures leading to develop . internally we queried according to its name , and we were told : ' this is the country without names . the council held its second reading on the budget which takes account of parliament 's delegation in the quest for a budget of the priorities of the european union and the real needs and the actual capacity to implement the budget . commiserate with agreements and permanent carried out to be adopted to fund all possible the third important element of this second reading of the council is to reach agreement on the allocation of the multiannual programme for enterprise and entrepreneurship , that the employment initiative fortführt and topped up for the period 2001 until 2005 . in general , i would like to emphasise that , in a few days to end far-reaching budgetary demonstrated how helpful the interinstitutional agreement of 6 may 1999 was . the discussions were sometimes quite hard , but always serve the dialogues , leading to a better mutual understanding and thus to speed up provoke a - i hope - and for all satisfactory agreement . helped pertinent and always the important thing is that no country in the balkans as a result of democratisation of serbia now less aid available will have , as this before the developments in serbia was planned . indeed , in the space of two consecutive years - in my opinion , however , wrongly , as a kind of revising the financial perspective to be considered . cannot be repeated take-up now we have heard from the council for his willingness to 3.5 % machinery . for that i am referring in particular , the commission and the council sincere thanks for it . mr president , i too would like to thank mrs haug on her excellent work . i suspect that , in order to simplify , flexibility is the case for small amounts and the revision of wideranging . we shall see in the coming years , if so , how it works . it once heavily we cannot accept faces the situation that we need to decide whether or not there , we must of course . looking at this budget we next thursday . however , the interinstitutional agreements between the three institutions are also an important asset . they should mean that we have a joint planning . the growing problemdruck mainly relates to the problem of unemployment , the bse crisis and the balkan-stabilitätspakt . madam president , ladies and gentlemen , i am happy to take stock of the french union outline and in the last few months will be able to assess progress . meps before you today what we promised in nice , are not unregulated issues left . we are talking about the procedure of closer cooperation in the context of the first and third pillars largely simplifies has been made . it is both a tremendous challenge as well as an historic phase in the reunite our continent represents . with this charter will strengthen our union , are the values of dignity , freedom and solidarity of which it is based , reaffirmed . a few weeks ago got the chemietanker ievoli sun near the channel islands in distress . we have set ourselves objectives , they are complied with . from this six-month period - and i believe that it has also strengthened at the heart of our fellow citizens , in the field of values , in terms of growth and employment , solidarity , security and the preservation of the european social model , and it also has to power and influence at international level bullfights . they are prepared to accept new members of the family to unite - now that we are sure that they are also act together to stay . simultaneously today say - is that our union emerged strengthened by ; ( applause ) in view of the concept of this inevitable , which is to achieve this result for two reasons : firstly , because it is even worse , a qualified majority , and consequently a blocking minority will be made easier , even though in an enlarged union opposite needed ; but all the more disappointing purveyed seemed ( applause ) ( applause ) the nice summit , was probably the most ambitious european ambition for a summit for many years . entitlement , with the tackled in madam president , mr president-in-office , mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the judgment of my group , on 15 einnehmenden spectacle that they certainly have to take this opportunity to see how it is really about the shared vision of the solidaritätsbewusstsein , mutual confidence in the european top-level says , is very hard on this from the sprachlosen offer europeans live managed according to the infrequently . obvious to everyone mind people show you the very serious consequences , arising from the project of a federal europe with 27 or 28 member fingerprinted . mr president , let me also emphasise that , in particular france after nice once again , as losers discredited . madam president , mr president , the group of independents for a europe of democracies and diversities regrets that the presidency of the message has not taken up to her back in july übermittel was . many people are not yet the port , in the european union dereinst arriving pm . so there is also a limit to be taken into account . i think it is not only the opinion of the three groups , but also from other groups , but for technical reasons not sign succeeded . it is therefore desirable for the development of medicinal products in the community to promote froing , so that the patients ' increased opportunities an effective treatment possible to offer . i congratulate my colleague mary honeyball on her first report on the european parliament . surprisingly , has the floor , and i am curious to know what pensioner him now what she said fatuzzo ! the victim must be seen as a person who are in a special situation finds itself , which is the situation is even worse if the offence is not in the country of the victim occurred . uncertainty and iron characterised likely . the next item is the continuation of the joint debate on : it was partly to see that the debate has focused on who should be given to whether germany or france , the netherlands and belgium , portugal , spain or something dazugewinnen . only referred to a greater or lesser voice must despair we are pleased that a new method has been created , and hope that , in view of the hopes of closer cooperation in europe forwards that there will be capable of being a future constitution , which our fellow citizens who hope in this marvellous project , the european adventure , which is wood . derives from the devise the candidate countries will be the egoism of our own member states to take an example . the delight that it is unevenly divided , but the main message is clear : europe can now in an enlarged eu , which brought together by the treaty of nice is also closely . democratic the partikularinteresse was before . through an agreement reached on the treaty was indeed a crisis which enlargement could have avoided , but we have familiarizing by a crisis , which we are now being called into question in extremis open latenten talk . i do not believe that it is more realistic , for the enforcement of their own national prestiges instead of an efficient functioning of the union , and i do not think that the european citizens in masses are intervened in order to seeschlacht their rulers in nice to follow . pro-independence what a wonderful project after eleven years after the berlin wall came down ! then regarded it as half of europe , and now we are for the whole of evolve . after nice , there is no longer on the institutional barriers can appeal . firstly , an institutional imbalance , insofar as much of the council and the commission and parliament have had very little . this model has ausgedient . the consequences for europe would have been totally unpredictable . for example , as you know , at the beginning of the european union for the blocking minority two of the so-called ' grandees ' countries require , now there are three . goods is the road mapped out , enlargement is possible that the european parliament will his seat in the debate on the further development of concepts and have thought that . the common european interest , as whose sole guardian - and on this point , mr moscovici , nobody can do not founded on the amount of national interests , which is overlap and cancel each other , and the message from prime minister verhofstadt in this connection was extremely useful . opportunely - raise network-driven we recommended its ratification . i personally believe that a reweighting votes illustrate the population is at the european parliament has been the case , and the council could equally procedure . contract . but nice , mr president , it is not the end of the road , but the starting point for a new stage with many challenges . i therefore wish to go back to what is now a couple of times been alluded sparingly . admittedly , it appears that the total paralysis in the future , to prevent , but enabled the ambitions of the french presidency will not in the new draft treaty being implemented . geglückt really enlarged european union i have obtains nice stratagem is unsatisfactory . i do not know whether the commission at the end of the debate , but in view of the council 's absence , i wonder whether the commission is convinced that the czech republic , hungary and poland mps and meps from the baltic states in the european parliament will sit . views will also 2004 we do not have to move towards the enlargement of the same determination as before nice progressed so as to our objectives , and this is the most historic task is to the european parliament must be and the commission in the coming years surmountable . concealed that dynamism and above all , however , remains the problem of the financing of the balkans , in the coming years in full unsolved purists . i would personally like to congratulate the rapporteurs , the chairman of the committee on budgets , the commission , council and the council presidency for their work , for the conclusion of this agreement gratitude to all of us , the adoption of the budget for 2001 will enable my congratulations . the rapporteurs is also good that the small and medium-sized enterprises as the main employer additional funds made available . thank them for . on the football , it would be transferred from one 1 : 1 tied speak . the fact that we have a budget and we in the conciliation agreement , which could not mean that all our problems are resolved . this is not an easy , but they stems from the treaties , although the council is sometimes difficult to recognise that coincided with us . this includes a commitment to a fair and efficient distribution of human and material resources for the implementation of the various policies , which means that the political priorities of parliament and the managementpriorität by the commission must be brought into line college of commissioners . that is why it is precisely the task of the common european level , the safeguarding of the environment and regeneration headway . it is a lot of talk about the post-nice process . you are right , of course , keep to this point . neither military violence is still a possible further advance of dictatorship are still to be feared . what will be seen in budgetary terms with morocco almost at the same footing or slightly higher , which surely cannot correctly . program it would be very dangerous if it is for europeans in a logistical dependence on russia blundered break-up . and there is a tacis programme only very limited intervene , can also be not to say that it is only a drop in the ocean . the falling birth rate and the mortality is increasing ; the nettoverlust of russia 's 764 million inhabitants per year one . the solution can only be mr putin himself has said , the main problem lies not in the status of chechnya . political nature . with regard to russia , with the population , with society is done in the west indifferent . mr president , the european union has in recent years various russlandbezogene documents adopted at the close relationship with the russian republic form a sound basis for . and what means freedom for the chechen people ? it is the first step , then we will ensure that laws are not respected , as far as the second step would also stabilised economic development of fourthly , which will be the result of a civil society . ausprägen trains can . but this is an excellent report , as well as the common strategy underlines the importance of our relationship - the strategic partnership - between the european union and russia . attach themselves ; this means that we are of key areas such as the number of members raised the environment and safety of nuclear power , kaliningrad in itself , and a better coordination of the various sources must be targeted . we need to avoid making mistakes of the beginning of the last century has been made , as russia after the revolution of 1917 practice by the european political life has been excluded from what devastating consequences push-chair . by another speaker mentioned leninistischen as you know , the council has a common position on the revision of directive 90 / 220 / eec enacted . i think they can , therefore , the answer remains unresolved issues . i am perfectly willing to me to ask you , but it must be the best to ensure an appropriate framework to be found in this debate . i do not have sufficient information precise reply to your supplementary question . since it can surely not to say that he has no specific information about it ! the council reminiscent of the members of the conclusions drawn at its meeting on 19 may 1998 on fraudulent activity in the alcohol and tobacco has adopted . which all member states have their desire to strengthen anti-fraud reconfirmed , both internally and also at intergovernmental level . the european union has repeatedly its strict compliance with the right to asylum reaffirmed . the cotonou agreements signed with regard to the fact that the community at the latest 2005 to duty-free access for essentially all products from the least developed countries . enables in june 2000 akp-eg-partnerschaftsabkommen appears before i would remind you that the presidency is not the opinion that it is not just any government , but rather a question of what position the council at the time x " or " t " . adopts particular individuals to express it aims to create a system to ensure that this does not tested on animals eradication buy and producers compensation in the level of marktpreises to pay . it was from the outset , the aim of the french presidency , which have been affected by a european answer to this crisis to make it possible for the diet , social and health . in the context of the barcelona process unterschrieb algeria with a number of principles , including the rule of law . i have already had the opportunity to present to you reflections on the preparation of the united nations general assembly special session on the follow-up of the world summit on children who , in september 2001 will be held to bring forward a few weeks ago . subject : the commitments made by turkey in the context of the eu - in the commission 's proposal on the partnership between the eu and turkey , the council intend to monitor the situation in relation to litigation , in particular with regard to the effect on the accession process with the aim of the settlement of disputes about the international criminal court before the end of 2004 to promote . reads pending re-examine and partnership turkey does it intend to take this matter in the context of the aforementioned partnership with the turkish government to raise ? the rights of defence in adequately provided , and can mutual recognition of the achieve anything ? in addition , it is a matter for individual member states , at national level , a sovereign decision on the use of national troops in the context of such an operation on it . subject : the importance of tax for the functioning of the internal market , the president of the european commission has november in an article of the financial times stated that he does not wish harmonization and a common tax levels in the eu , since the rates in the hands of the national parliaments , and even there remain derivatives . romano prodi 23 until no. 32 will be answered in writing . the stabilisation and association agreement between the european union and the republic of croatia is timely . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i should first like to congratulate mr baltas very warmly on his report , especially on his report , because it was important to speed up the changes in croatia - mrs stenzel has been mentioned - to react quickly . this is really positive as far as to where progress is achieved . 1991 / 92 on 250 000 from the west and slavonia . evicted from kraina , croats were this was of course for south-eastern europe is a historic one year . i would like to see such a balance sheet , can leave . this is an important point , and i hope that we can count on support from parliament , if we do , at the end of the negotiations on the stabilisation and association agreement will be formally consulted again . the wahid government arouses raises considerable resistance , and the reform process is obviously stagnate . also papua-führer are still in jail . in our resolution we call upon the european commission , at this rate of taxation . thus , the statements by the commission 's communication from the beginning of this year and fully justified , even if it is typified by a certain euphoria , of course , from the amply changes upstairs . the underway and the way for the eternity set camps are rooms of confrontation between the old and new indonesian powers and the weakness of the democratisation process . testament not aburteilungen at the besorgniserregendsten is the situation in the moluccas , where the jihad in inadmissible manner freer hand is being ignored . irian jaya too is a victim of umsiedlungspolitik . we need to be able to prioritise . we must ecological , social or economic issues cannot be lumping together with the key issue for democracy and respect for human rights , which is in our relations with indonesia is clearly a political priority . this resolution makes it clear that irian jaya too indonesia belongs . although the situation has improved , and president wahid deserves our support , but there are still huge problems . it is , of course not acceptable that tens of thousands of refugees from east timor 's clemency armed bandits mercy are , of patriotism as a pretext in order to use a punishment for their criminal past to penury . this is connected with the size of the country , together with regard to my fourth point in the world with its economic importance of its importance and its importance for the environment . together , because indonesia is inhabitants . depends on the regional we must , therefore , the police , judicial and administrative resources and instruments both between the member states as well as with the eu combine . ( the president cut the speaker off ) mrs schreyer , you have repeatedly stressed that , as the commissioner responsible for fighting fraud is your task in particular to see that the independence of olaf to secure before the house . the problems created by the introduction of economic management at eu level , because of the so-called ' community ' created models to shift the burden of tax revenue of eu citizens ill-thought out and often also totally unwanted . i would like to congratulate the rapporteur , who i as a politician and as a man greatly admire , to congratulate , but unfortunately i cannot do so . the report is about protecting the community 's financial interests and about how we deal with this issue . these are the most important issues . i will be given the time limit on the presentation of the individual points briefly . the debate is closed . there is eu-wide legislation which businesses against such negligence , and the commission has promised meanwhile , our own rules of guaranteeing prompt execution of payments to introduce . designed to protect we have other mechanisms in order to have still not discovered cases of fraud to attention . you have just mentioned , and said that there was a member state which is the establishment of a european public prosecutor contested by myself , mrs schreyer , the council . so if parliament is very sensible , if it know exactly what we expect the court of auditors could be from these reports . neither the commission nor the member states should have shirk its responsibilities can , in particular , not through mutual refer to the responsibility of each other . he said that very seriously and regretted that circumstance . it was a very besides , and i believe there is also a very positive step , the commission and the court for the preparation of this report in its deliberations . involve by them as you can see from my speech that i consider it appropriate to these proposals will continue to discuss , in order to see greater responsibilities in what way are appointed re-assured . the first crucial shortcoming is a lack of harmonisation . this is why i believe we must also improve the article 4 . within this internal market should be able to carry out their property in favour of companies , in which they are in favour of the relevant companies exercise , and it indifferent , whether it is in order to private companies or pension funds are concerned . savers and investors we must eyes to reality of ignore : when it comes to taking over there restructuring of the layoffs , so that they are based on jobs . extra-territorial actions , when ... but what do we allow ourselves to the amendments proposed by parliament as it may premises ? this is the issue of principle on which opinions will be : what is at a law on the rules of acquisitions in the hinge on ? diverge possibly tomorrow easier to resolve it would , however , the question of the jurisdiction of the inspectorate . the rapporteur 's amendments viable in terms of potential litigation confusion , and it would be wrong if we give our assent to such a request break-up . i am referring in relation to this point , that is the close relationship between them and millions of voters in my country and millions of citizens with recollect the stock market variable pensions- and sparplänen exists . take-over directive would like to in some member states already exists only affects the field of public takeover bids , but has a considerably greater scope , and in the context of the commission intends all-round company law could possibly further investigations carried out on this issue such a procedure to be revised . furthermore , i would like to remind you that it is in accordance with a previously expressed by parliament 's desire for a framework directive . the resale right is indispensable and inalienable rights artists to a large portion of the proceeds from the resale of their works impediment . first of feared british lobbyists from the loss of jobs . the compromise adopted by the council is therefore only a substitute for the original commission proposal , which is the first reading broad support in the european parliament was held . i also hope it will be supported by the commission , at least one of the three major disputed points . it is also a question of vitality and the competitiveness of european kunstmarktes . in another case it would be art undoubtedly elsewhere , i.e. in america , been sold . this amendment is , however , only partly acceptable . liberalisation of the market for postal services this is my suggestion , mr savary . firstly , we must ensure that we postal services favourable prices can be achieved . secondly , we must ensure that we have a high quality and , thirdly , we have a high level of availability of postal services in all areas of the european union . the legal affairs committee was in favour of the reserved services , but also the 150-gramm-gewichtsgrenze before and rejected unanimously in the draft directive article169 50 grammes onwards . higher standards preisgrenzen universaldienstanbieter proposes finally , we cannot accept any new on as long as no prior assessment has been carried out . you know how difficult this dossier is , after all , it is ideologically beladen , sometimes from both sides . this step , the number of members of this house may well be welcomed , would , however , for the postal services in the european union disastrous consequences . furthermore , this will be on the closure of one of the country holding , because this without the postal services cannot survive . if we in the past , we will need to take an open market for postal services in europe . tempo continue 100 years madam president , i would like to make three comments . the debate on this new directive should take a particular point into consideration . this is not the case and must not be . in a fair competition can monopolisten to demonstrate that they understand their craft . but if oma looking forward to a warm briefträger comes at a high quality of postal services , then we must not saddened to make , but also rejoice . what is also includes anyone who so badly prepared in a negotiation is the report on the effects submits who ideologically argued - which you mentioned will only achieve that if we liberalize , liberalize , liberalize - which is surely not be surprised if he refers to the nose falls , who stipulated since 1997 is not exactly the objectives thrives mr bolkestein , the commission is the guardian of the treaties . it is true , as we would be the average income of one and a destitute ascertain that will then be regarded as satisfactory , because of the fact that the destitute people at all , there is a social point of view not regarded as acceptable way . case-load certainly , but from the steinreichen there are new existed thus , mr simpson . the governments of the constituting who had not been socialist , but conservative or liberal . i was clear from the start that the commission 's proposal in its original form would never be accepted . because of this openness and these are all agreed that it is important , however , the brisk pace . liberalization the effects of the first directive was not made public , because the effects on the obvious : deterioration in working conditions , equitable and generalised supply of services , particularly in the country and in the working-class residential . job losses and no postalischen so we come to one of the most important political issues , the liberalisation of postal services , progressing slowly for completing the internal market . this is of crucial importance for the development of the direktmarketingsektors . i appeal directly to the british conservatives . and choked on postal services , i would like to say that , if it goes through , you are a valuable for breath available . ably we can only hope that we one day we will manage to the accustomed to overcome and the egoistic korpsgeist to defeat so that europe can genuinely progressing . only 3 % of the briefmarkts have already been liberalised . it is by technological development and overtaken by consumers to be ignored when it is not an adequate service for their money . we can only support when it comes to the opening of the market controlled and gradual according to a timetable materialised . you in this adjusting as regards amendments nos 60 and 61 i support the call for a completing the internal market at a later date , the within a reasonable timeframe to shape it . the commission will be the same position , and so will the council on the basis of the commission 's proposal to make a choice which he makes sense to obeyed . parliament must , however , an opinion . my second report resembles so many points in the first and accepts the amendments adopted in plenary . it is true , commissioner , that we continue to have certain reservations and some differences exist . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i would like to begin by congratulating the rapporteur , mr dary , which gives us the reform of its history and its context - and i do not want to repeat - has presented so clearly . it consists in various regions of the community , in the outermost regions which are a number of difficulties in order to markets to compete , and one of the few products which they have , however , is bananas . especial through the wto will be abolished avoided because , in the wto rules have been created , to which all the parties to comply . it is no exaggeration to say that this issue on which belongs to all the institutions utmost attention stirred up . we must unreservedly support the livelihood of farmers by ensuring that we give priority to their products are buying . mr president , the rapporteur deserves our thanks and our recognition for his report on this difficult issue . i would like to thank the chairman of the political groups in this parliament and the members of the outermost regions have accepted that this reform of the bananensektors today in this parliament and the prescribed delivered an opinion in good time for the next few days , the forthcoming meeting of the council of ministers will be completed and the year 2001 with a new reform of the com for bananas can begin and we can be so that they are pertinacity halsstarrigkeit also discussed . in this debate has repeatedly stressed that the report by mr dary through the committee on agriculture and rural development was approved unanimously . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , i have listened with great pleasure to inform you that a delegation from korea in the official gallery place . so that we managed to achieve in the council is a positive decision for the media . report ( a5-0377 / 2000 ) by mr trakatellis , on behalf of the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy on the proposal for a decision of the european parliament and the council on prolongation of certain community action programmes in the field of public health , with the decisions b7-42 . 645 / 96 / ec , b7-42 . mr president , i would like to seize the opportunity , with reference to the commissioner 's comments this evening at 12.15 a.m. pointing out that amendment no 1 , the commission 's duty attends . only ( parliament adopted the oral amendment ) amendment no 2 : parliament had at its position and the majority of them again logging should , above all the amendments which the size of the warnings which listing of ingredients and the protection of consumers , and particularly young people 's concern . insistence are there in the eyes of some member approximately two categories of citizens : those who will be clout , and those who will be for economic reasons , the risk expose ourselves ? i would like to explain why i export ban on tobacco , whose tar , nicotine content in the eu 's current ceiling , and the amendments to the lifting of this regulation . explicity have rejected outweighs / notably madam president , i welcome the radical proposal on how to use in order to ensure that the damage caused by smoking to demonstrate in canada pictures . all this , i would like to be welcomed , although i - and i would like to take this opportunity to confirm this - that much more for the krankheitsverhütung is being spent . i would have preferred this scheme by a regulation deductible dignity , because this would activities , which the citizens of the european union as a whole relate to better meet . the amendments tabled by mr zimmerling : the european art market in kiss and loss of jobs . i also fear that only a few living artists , from this right to a large portion of the proceeds from the resale benefit . cfi mean - ( nl ) i would like to thank mr zimmerling , for the effort he has put into this complex issue . i therefore feel compelled to oppose the directive . and the stabilisation and association agreement , the cards programme and the european investment bank cannot be the main instruments of the contribution of the european union on economic and social development croatian persuasively . the indonesian government and army have a duty to guarantee the safety of its citizens and their lives , regardless of what they profess . faith , to protect that is why we need as quickly as possible to take the necessary instruments for combating fraud involving eu funds thereabouts . it would be a single judicial area will be established in the event of violations of this kind pinpointed the criminal proceedings , trial conducted and the execution of sentences can be carried out in the eu . sometimes this seems to be the case . amendments nos 11 and 13 seek to the system of quotas in ten years newcomer to assess and the commission does not commit itself to a tariff system , and some of our trading partners , a tariff system to demand . ouzo would now floated with regard to the relying on the akp-präferenz refers , so we are here , too , with eur 300 per tonne pertain to keep the word ' but ' for unnecessarily . exceed what preamble such an extension should also apply to our trading partners scarcely have a chance , to be accepted . the next item is the commission statement on the eu / usa summit . of course it is easier said than done , but we should resist the temptation to look at these summits intensively with the problems of our political and economic relations with preoccupy . i know that madeleine albright , the american secretary of the same view . that too daily one of the main lessons was that the europeans a greater contribution to the conservation of security in europe have to do . i would be grateful if you are in favour of this point extensively incorporate beside the analysis of the other side of the house was required to make proposals on all fronts , how we can achieve in the field of dialogues , in the field of foreign affairs , security policy , but also with regard to these issues , such as the mutual recognition agreements . spring being sought communication and would also were in the future new pragmatic cooperation i know and appreciate the everything but arms , but would ask the commission , at the forthcoming summit with the opportunity to use and the united states , asking them to accede to this initiative . liberalisierungsinitiative for we must therefore act to ensure that irrevocable fate to prevent this on those who , as mumia abu-jamal or leonard pelletier partly for years in the todeszellen grand-duchy need . awaits this is a sensible proposal , which we are happy to take up . thank you very much , commissioner . i am afraid that i am currently in kreuzfeuer my own group post-amsterdam . thirdly , there must be simple formulas for levying taxes being applied , specifically reversing the keeps . the first conclusion is that it is very little to do as long as this international framework does not change . mr president , the committee would like firstly to say that the existing arrangements for the eu-anbieter services of drawback : software , processing and computerdienste , provision of web-hosting , web-design and information services are as follows . i have always said that one of the first rules or principles of legislators should be as follows : erlasse any laws , which are unenforceable . fortunately finds itself in the report of the committee responsible , partly thanks to the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy , a number of important elements which , through a combination of several factors in the transport committee is too little has been supported them . we must also , however , also in favour of a revision of the agreement of chicago by 1944 europhiles to reorganizing at international region to achieve . short-term locational advantages of one country to go to the detriment of another or from other eu countries . mr president , europe is in the field of internet use in the coming decade , a leading position in the world boxes . many people ask yourself , commissioner , why europeans are always so quickly with taxation and new regulations in the hands of . the agreement of chicago on this point is completely obsolete . i consider the introduction of a common vat system cannot be regarded as a priority , and nor do i believe that the introduction of a common system was long overdue . in a abgabenquote by 30 % of the united states budgetüberschüsse of several hundred billion dollars . achieved under by far the vorzuziehende option is to exemption from the european e-unternehmen , in order to make the same competitive conditions to give you the american and other worldwide businesses operating conditions . the tax competition in the interests of citizens and the economy . such companies need to take the same duties as the local companies in the provision of services for consumers to play , for the purpose of vat in one member state of their choice register , although the vat rate of councillors state on its execution-only business will be applied from outside the union taxation . now , quite simply the position is not exactly . what concerns the issue of source , i.e. the place where the royalty should apply to the discussion on the number of countries to ensure that the register , my understanding heart-rending will , of course , the united states has become a complaint to the wto . defying in question occurs where businesses will be fairly and after all , there is little point in having a flight from london to brussels , for example , with all 89 £ costs , while i am in favour of the eurostar , far less greenhouse gases and which is a lot more pleasant , for the same casualty around £ 250 must pay . emitted journey back virgin airways mr president , in this debate coming into the old schreckgespenster once again become apparent . furthermore , the proposals made by the french presidency taxation at local level of consumption , with the duty of the provider of registration in all member states discussed . the european airlines would compared with third-country airlines penalized and that means that it would preisgefüge for flights within the eu , unlike the prices for intercontinental flights abused . however , i have a solution which does not have a kapitalabfluss from europe , only in the field of the oecd and not gaze over with einzelverhandlungen as possible . appears to be i am aware that the members of this house ill-suited controversy insights . this makes it complexity in the case of the use of macro-economic criteria or comparable avoided . i now turn to the proposal concerning the mindestnormalsatz . consequently , the icao-arbeitsgruppen nor any substantial preparatory work carried out , and that has already responded to the next assembly for a renegotiation of the agreement of chicago is decided unlikely . this feeling is unfortunately even today , in the european public opinion . and this is the ultimate aim of this directive is to strengthen the seenotfallmanagements through the establishment of safe havens , by means of a strong and through greater powers in the intervention by the coastal state at sea in the event of serious verschmutzungsgefahr . obligation to ban whilst sturms the oil companies tell us that they have a voluntary fund . i hope that the doubts and the opposition in accordance with the thrust of the nice summit decreased , and our project succeeds . naturally , we have confidence in you , when it comes to guaranteeing safety at sea , because they are probably aware that there is no week passes , we are not the same question is : ' and what do you meps to guarantee the safety and to modify the regulations ? ' in the mr president , the commission is aware of 8 november 2000 , by the british government has announced that the inter alia , the introduction of a special straßenbenutzungsgebühr include , for example , the uk , and also by nichtbritischen güterkraftverkehrsunternehmen alike to pay if it is the roads in the united kingdom . sailing plans for a vignette secondly , if the council of ministers , which he had originally proposed that foreign lorries to tax in order to kraftverkehrsunternehmen 's own country , then it is in breach of european law , alert to subsidise ? this imbalance between the levies and taxes , which kraftverkehrsunternehmen in individual member states have to pay , distorts the conditions under which kraftverkehrsunternehmen different nationality in the united kingdom in competition . facing an economic nature the question of the use of meat and bone meal , for which export exactly the same legislation which is contained in the also for the production of meat and bone meal in the european union rules whereby the requirement that , for example , specified risk material from the meat and bone meal which is also in the legislation on 1 march 2001 will enter into force . applicable to remove and the jews are a traitor and liar . i hope very much that we are , in every country in the region ascertain that education , tolerance and not the intolerance transported . in reply to mr monti , when i had expected . question no 37 by ( h-0900 / 00 ) : furthermore , the commission will propose to schutzzwecken unterstützungsmechanismus , which specifically designed to prevent unfair korean practices within the time to face up to the wto procedure is needed . until the conclusion of a temporary is this is an issue replete with drama . the verwenderindustrie for koks has generally 70 000 people employed in this sector is only a very small kostenanteil by approximately 2 % from , but this product power . question no 40 by ( h-0889 / 00 ) : we have our proposal acp virtually the same time as our own member states . i can assure you that this initiative is not designed to sort out this problem , since the additional quantities to be introduced into the community could , in a very small . incidently these countries have given their situation is unfortunately no offerings verhandlungsmacht , and therefore we must act in my opinion , in this case , unilaterally and without compensation . the commission for the financial contributions will soon be completed and also by the ecpat 2001 resources needed encompass . bewilligungsverfahren requested we are dealing here with three different types of activities . on the location of the court will in future the commission 's proposal saying anything . i am not sure what the honourable member with the word ' proliferation ' . values the question by mr berenguer fuster concerns registered trademarks . i regard it as an incentive to further steps to ensure that , as well as possible . implements the required immediately spain ; at the last question you have responded to spain fault and they would do so , what do you falls . this was a good explanation of reply to my previous question . the directive 89 / 48 / eec concerns diplomas at the end of a minimum three-year-old vocational training in the end of the sekundarstufe . subject : transport links in the nordkvark ( vasa is going to have finland , sweden ) of the shipping in the strait of bothnia ( nordkvark ) as unprofitable discontinued will , after the shipping companies no longer possible to tax-free-verkauf . - umeå for example , in the city vasa in the last two years 550 jobs , especially in tourism , perhaps because of the cessation of tax-free-verkaufs , dismantled was mentioned earlier . the proposal reflects the concerns of the summit in lisbon cons , because it is intended to the development and use of digital content to support . furthermore , i would urge the commission to be more effective and rapid implementation in the field of deliver of proposals to develop . if we only for businesses , especially meteorologische and geographic information , which is highly desirable that we should not overlook the fact that things are in favour of the citizens specific content harder shape , since these on the merely for companies useful information beyond . useful content understand including the digital content , which is more than through quality geared to standardized and limiting the social and cultural diversity . quantity by the second point which i have just seems to me essential that we are to small and medium-sized enterprises that we in the bottom-up approach mentalities . but if we make a virtue of the omens are not barriers , but rather than bridges , as advantages and benefits , then this is the basis for the european market and a degree of independence . umdrehen simply our languages as discern i shall not go into all the objectives of the programme : creating conditions for the marketing and use of digital content in order to stimulate economic activity , which is to improve and the potential for the european digital content in comparison to the united states to make better use . diffusion of european employment prospects re-submitted therefore , it becomes increasingly important , for the production of content in the right conditions . multilingual europe some of these amendments are very valuable in itself , but in other legal acts better rescinded . the various opinions can now be explained to the vote is not , in view of the most group in parliament tomorrow will not be a vote , then i thought it to be much more accurate , in tomorrow 's votes , if the members of this house are present in such a request to make this evening to do so . tonight and if vollzählig instead mr president , ladies and gentlemen , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , more and more people in the european union will be caused by noise nuisance . about when the evening , when the night begins , the member states can decide freely . i therefore welcome , although the commission 's proposal to see , however , a first and i believe to be hesitant step . therefore , that this will reduce and prevent it from the environmental noise in future an essential part of the european environmental policy must be . the group of the european united left supports readily his proposals , although we would like to add anything further augmented in order to find solutions and against those who proceed from the noisy still money propose . conclusive however , let me add something to the gezänk and to the recently in the committee , apart from that , under the scenes and now even here diatribe about that . curiaces risks and , on that is why i cannot hide the fact that my country will have to agree to the commission 's proposal , unless it includes a sufficient flexibilitätsmechanismus from our forefathers entered into by the spaniards themselves as well as estimated to be able to retain guests from our even-handedness to the lebensgewohnheiten enormous difficulties . i commend the report and , of course , the commission 's proposal to the house anyway . secondly , we have daughter directives in terms of quality standards . i fully support the need to harmonise noise indicators , the whole area of mapping out the compilation of plans for the reduction of noise and the protection calmly territories and the extension of the margin for informing the public . applies and the bewertungsmethoden adequate secondly , taking advantage of this proposal for a new approach to assess the impact of gesamtlärmsituation in europe , as far as the number of noise predictions persons concerned . 1 to 3 , 6 , 14 , 18 , 27 , 30 and 34 , 35 and 43 . accept the following amendments are acceptable in principle or in part : no . furthermore , should not unprocessed food additives for use in order to take it up in this case - that will lead to any discussion went through to a substantial change to its originalzustands . in general - fictional mr president , the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy we have with the ppe group voted in favour of the lannoye report , which , incidentally , fully and our expectations . everyone says so . the next item is the report ( a5-372 / 2000 ) by mr staes , on behalf of the european parliament 's delegation in the conciliation committee on the conciliation committee 's proposal for a european parliament and council directive amending directive 95 / 53 / ec council with rules for the implementation of the official feed . by the french presidency , therefore , a very clear message to the word ' far and no further ' signified . i received a lucid wink in lengthy negotiations was a compromise to be taken of the assurance that protective measures which the commission were to remain in force until you with a different decision , and that the member states commit itself to the experts from the commission a unstinting support during the investigations and on-the-spot checks to be granted . now in the conciliation committee is acceptable , as long replaces i welcome this piece of legislation . the structural funds , the eu , particularly the esf , and the resources are available for the development disadvantaged and poorer areas of our society focused manner . exchequer must always the european cities are important economic , political and socio-economic centres . there is a clear legislation and careful monitoring compliance with them are other instruments . the commission is the european parliament and also for the considerable support that this proposal has shown , and for the many amendments grateful . in view of the nature of the action the commission can accept amendments nos . i say this because it is an extremely timely issue , and i am sure that it is not a day goes back to this subject from all sorts of reasons , rightly or wrongly , however , mostly inaccurate in the press dealt with . they are voting on , not the maximalisten want innovation and block progress on this , it is only a significant risk to health and environment on the precautionary principle resorting to a more unspecified threshold , however , no one knows how this provision can be achieved , i.e. above , while the minimalisten guessing the clarification of the respective roles and competences is a fundamental condition for restoring public confidence in science , and also the makers - in us , the politicians . necessary in these cases , precaution a sicherheitsspielraum afloat . we also take action in the world trade organisation , perhaps a provision which would ensure that it is in the context of the wto is possible to spread to other commitments to little-used - for example , within the scope of the precautionary principle to enlarge . multilateral environmental agreement entrusted duties - in order to demanded importantly , of course , the precautionary principle , with the aim is to establish international standard as to give more rechtsstabilität . the art of life consists of using these risks and insecurities prudently fashion . sometimes it is too much of it , then again , but too little about what our indignation invokes . presupposes trivialised this applies in the same time , we intend to toy in sweets , eis and other bans on vanillin . for example phtalate toys remarkable . the same applies to the commission 's demand for a previous thorough analysis . in the resolution calls for the commission in its guidelines and the vorsorgegrundsatz in drawing up its legislative proposals and , in all its actions whenever there should be taken into account when it is necessary to apply . a general de-minimis-schwelle cannot be determined . the first awarded the sakharov prize to a human rights organisation in their struggle within the union leads to reaffirmed the european parliament officially that any violation of these rights unconditionally combated . madam president , ladies and gentlemen , first and foremost the bürgerinitiative ' basta ya ' house their thanks for the honorable tribute which we are now being given . and it will not only of murder . i would ask , therefore , i am here to follow and to trust . ( parliament adopted the legislative resolution ) madam president , if i may , i would like to table an oral explanation of my amendment no 51 deliver the house there . report ( a5-0334 / 2000 ) by mr garcía-margallo y marfil , on behalf of the committee on economic and monetary affairs on the commission 's communication : tax on kerosene [ com ( 2000 ) 110 - c5-0207 / 2000 - 2000 / 2114 ( cos ) ] this agreement is in favour of certain companies appealing to the environment and democracy , however , it is prejudicial . the most significant event since our last relegated is , of course , the bse crisis . this would clearly against the letter and spirit of the above the decisions taken by the heads of state and government in the sitzfrage violated . parliament has a number of key priorities - an increased use of the fight against unemployment and poverty , a number of important environmental and equality , etc. we voted against the attacks on the side of the life programme and the european women ´ s lobby . successfully can decide amongst other things civic the scale of the funds allocated begs the question as to what extent this region yugoslavia who originally provided for 350 million euros really can take up for the reconstruction of kosovo , however legitimate . there is no reason to a certain distributionsform tax advantages to offer . a final date formalises the players in the postal market clear signals and the opportunity to improve the deregulation of trade prepare national monopolies . instils a whole philosophy of the postal service , the consequences of the specific characteristics of each state declaring its roots , with a simple , possibly with only a very small majority decision ausradieren ? clong and there has the commission 's proposed by the tune of zweieinhalbfachen of public tarifs are really to drastically and would have devastating effects on the providers of universalpostdiensten wont . frontiers 50 grammes , with a preisgrenze we therefore reject the whole of concern to which it aims to clearly and firmly reject . . ( sv ) we do not believe that the eu should concern itself with the problem of the postal sector , even if the proposal under discussion in committee significantly better than the original commission proposal . dary report ( a5-0374 / 2000 ) however , we feel that the small producers , on her work , without having to face the consequences of war protected and their income independently of the marktschwankungen guaranteed . pflanzungen someone exploiting since the exercise of freedom of expression to article 10 duties and responsibilities bring with it , can you conditionally , restrictions or strafdrohungen be subjected to . in view of the fact that the content wertmäßig 5 % of european gdp and 191.4 million jobs ineffectually , one can only welcome this initiative . numerical under these conditions , the united states its dominance of this future market precisely its coherence and their unity attributable to . i also hope that this division among the application of the subsidiaritätskriteriums so far is that the regions and the autonomous communities their status within the union can be maintained . we welcome that . so , for example , the abovementioned time-frame for national parliaments to ratify strips , cannot be a country which , in the council in a minority , which is no longer say no , if the negotiations in its own interests violated . sees its most recent rights ; we have repeatedly warned that the expired in nice makes it abundantly clear that a much broader agenda meant that this year , no results have been reached , with disastrous consequences for enlargement . preceding and could perhaps . ( en ) in view of the fundamental importance to the decisions taken at the nice summit to adopt seemed to be recognition accorded to be there , too , where credit is due . it in other words , parliament 's intention to consists of control over the issues of taxation and social security to gain . in this long night gestrickten council decisions offer no solid crops ; they have thick holes , through the notions such as transparency , identitätsstiftung , more democracy , the involvement of the citizens or reformbewusstsein slippery fail . we must therefore his conclusions , as a result of a compromise image , which is neither a clear victors still clearly unterlegene there . on the contrary , the influence of national democracies is decreasing , because the right of veto will be further reduced and the european parliament more power . why should du for this report , after which a tax on kerosene remains limited will be possible to vote , because the tickets for us cheaper and we will thus more with this transport can travel . proviso " " blanche not under the homes along , you might be a blumentopf on its head traps . the complexity and diversity of technological change and the structural änderungsprozesse require the involvement of local and regional level in the development partnerships , embedded in the drafting of strategic concepts of regional policy for each region . compelling all partners that is why we must avoid endeavour to do everything to what these three important prerequisites suffocate or might compromise . one might say that the innovation for all the actors in the process in the field of possibilities lie . the gap between rich and backward regions in the technological development is significantly greater than the gdp . as you know , there was a risk of the main argument to make bureaucrats punch mistakes . i do not know whether it was a direct consequence of this risi-initiative that today the european budget signed , but i would be pleased if this weihnachtspräsent , that is what we decide in future , the women who would benefit . three lades it is also a mistake in the budget in a chapter on how to reduce the for pilot projects , for new ideas in the local and urban development , with more than an acceptable outcome - on the basis of a local level so popular programmes such as interreg and urban foreseen . amputees as mr rack , i have understood that regional and cohesion policies as a kind charity towards the poorest regions and they will never as such . understand very well expressed in the they never that is why i eighth in the current negotiations on the eppd , apart from innovative actions - i am speaking here by pointing out that a plan for the information society , and checked for quality , apart from the scope of this regionalprogramms , especially as regards the smes , which colleges and even the farms concerned . mainstream - every programmplanungsdokument regional contains debriefed mrs schroedter , mr izquierdo collado and mr ortuondo larrea have rightly raised this question of funding . the prices of schiffneubauten are dramatically in recent years has fallen and have 1999 , this policy long-established contacts your rock-bottom . the committee needless had to vote in order to ensure that this item on the agenda for today 's debate stands . this concept is , moreover , in accordance with the treaty . my time is not enough to take into detail . nevertheless , we believe that the commission 's proposal , which will cost of an aid for research and development , the complaint before the world trade organisation on the practice in korea - since there are still lie ahead , and the possibility of übergangsbeihilfen , while on the complaint has been decided , which includes , for a perhaps more or less vulnerable resort , but at least for a solution . laboured with prices , under the - not we must also korea , preferably within the oecd , through anti-dumping increase pressure on them . this means that we are suffering from the problem of unemployment and the other visitors to make the real business with shipyards . in my view , it provides an excellent analysis of the shipbuilding industry in europe , which is the reality . this process will be no rapid results , and should be gone through all stages , as it takes this up to two years . the mechanisms could be brought up in this proceedings for a decision . application , i would like to say that i am sure we all now unites attachment to take the liberty of europe with vigour and vigour to defend themselves , but i would like to say that in spain over the solidarity of our colleagues in the european parliament beyond its commitment need . it schwamm in may , in the waters of than to be nuklearherz worrying signs of a deterioration abgab . alarming would be if we are faced with this situation is not as quickly as possible would act . the fact that two member states concerned , the united kingdom and spain , in close cooperation between the surest way to resolve the repair of submarine inventiveness and , of course -
