we know full well that the current treaties are not enough and that it will be necessary in future to develop a structure more efficient and dissimilar to the union , stature more constitutional which makes it clear what the jurisdiction of member states and which are the powers of the union . 
messages trepidation to start with the economic and social problems that we live in , despite sustained growth as a result of years of effort by all our citizens . 
the current situation , particularly unbearable for many companies of transport start-ups and for agriculture , must be improved . 
reaching agreement on the procedures are very good , but we must ensure that this system should not be out of striking force policy . 
they too have now a clear vision of the rights they must comply with . 
i am in agreement with his warning return , which aims to some , intergovernmental methods . 
we are very much to want a federation of nation states . 
the rapporteurs have stressed the quality of the debate and also the need to go further . oh , i would like them to join . 
may i thank all those who gave me respectfully reproached for not making this speech earlier . to those i would say that , before i make a speech , we have to learn , educate and evaluate the warring forces , because the political rhetoric always needs to be realistic and close to the reality and the objectives we set ourselves . 
i would appreciate it if we parte of enhanced cooperation to give some examples of the new potential european . 
the vote will take place today at 12.30 p.m . 
the commission cannot accept amendment no 12 . 
i will vote in favour of the draft regulation . 
the reports by the european court of auditors are indeed of meeting these sous-estimations , greece portugal . 
consequently , we did not vote for this report . 
according to the sponsors of these bus , they are not only cheaper and can be used worldwide , they also greenest for fuel consumption per passenger is lower . 
the role of the ' benchmarking ' in terms of dissemination of best practice throughout the eu has emphasised . 
a binding charter , comprehensive and listing the rights that we need to respect and is likely to cause difficulties at a later stage . 
i thank them both for their tremendous commitment . 
however , we feel that this dialogue will already be concluded in nice in less than three months , and this reason alone we refuse to accept the proposal to incorporate the charter into the treaty on the occasion of the nice summit . 
the csu in the european parliament is happy that the present draft charter of fundamental rights lumps together and makes it clear to see the fundamental rights enjoyed by the citizens organs and institutions of the eu . 
it is along the lines of liberal europe which is built . 
indeed , i would have liked to have a set of this charter so that we can proceed to the work , as contained a great deal of non-governmental organisations of various eu countries . 
( a5-0248 / 00 ) by mr queiró , on hungary ( com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ) ; 
hence , i would like to propose that parliament is more , next year 's general report , but confines itself to national reports to show that we attach to the continuation differentiated negotiations . 
it seems to me and that , in the context of the work that has been undertaken by the previous presidencies and that the commission and the french presidency will be able , at least i hope so , to set out in the european council in nice , a fairly accurate sight of the accession process . 
i have said and i have no difficulty in say it again here , the french presidency is éludera none of the difficulties we are , which does not mean , of course , that we will have time and resources to deal with each of them . 
this question is , of course , perfectly legitimate , but it must be answered properly and carefully . 
enlargement is a broad perspective that we should like to unselfishness and with vision . 
all the results of the intergovernmental conference fail to the gigantic pressure that enlargement in terms of adjustment . 
the second major change that we are seeing and which europe has to adapt is the speeding-up foudroyante of economic developments towards a global market and global competition . 
fourthly , it follows from this principle that the member states who began latest processes have a good opportunity to make up for those who started early . 
wherever considerable investment and long-term are required to reach the standards within the eu , we should bear in mind that the current members themselves have , in such cases , called for a long transition periods . 
with regard to security boundaries and to combat crime there will also our standards and benefits of european cooperation . 
let us look trade that there is now with the european union and the countries of central and eastern europe . 
i was delighted that commissioner are finally beginning to talk about informing the public and say that the fears which have been mentioned did not have to raison d ' être . 
but it is clear - and i welcome mr verheugen finish it again stressed : it is not possible to have a transitional period in terms of respect for democratic rules . 
here we need more aid from the commission , because even if the will is there , the ammunition is sometimes lacking . 
that is necessary to help us , as the european union , we setting targets for carrying out our own reformes procedure . 
but we do not agree with aspects and crucial questions . 
this runs counter to the european union and to its future self-sufficient in comparison with north america and also to defence and security policy europe-wide , since this would create risks with russia and other countries . 
we hope there will be the result and when there are not to refer to another intergovernmental conference which must be done to ensure that enlargement takes place . 
i shall be brief , as i have also been , having already given three minutes ' speaking time in my first speech . 
this is very important and , in this respect , i welcome the commission is working on an information campaign which commissioner verheugen wills both large and decentralisation . 
but - and this is my last word , as i would like to make it clear : i am not a pessimistic here , i do not play ' small arms " , i would like an option fiercely towards enlargement - to be credible , we must also be taken seriously , we must also be acknowledged . we also need to be able to make the accession of the people , the people of the candidate countries and also of our peoples . 
at the moment , i see no need to discuss the financial perspective in relation to enlargement . 
i cannot tell you about and which none of them ! 
it is also at the same reason that they have also expressed the wish to join the european union . 
we shall now give the floor to the various rapporteurs . 
i have been trusted to work as rapporteur on estonia . 
as a member of the moderate party , i am extremely thrifty when it comes to the taxpayers ' money . 
only then will it seems to me , you could take a picture of what the latvians have done in recent years . 
that is not enough , the overall strategy should be focusing more towards the citizens . 
lithuania has a full potential appreciable for sustainable economic growth . 
in its broadest sense , this relates to the cooperation of the european union with the russian federation . 
i now turn to another weak point : the support of public opinion , both inside and outside the european union . 
as a result of a fiscal policy intelligent , the direct foreign investments will cost , last year , in addition to 5 ,45 billion euros . 
we must not be involved ; surtout pas we from , germans ! 
democracy slovak develops a stable , which has not been the case . 
i propose , in my speech by stress and reiterate the six points in the development of the situation hungarian , which deserve to be highlighted in the run-up to accession to the european union . 
i am satisfied that this issue was envisaged in the general report on enlargement presented by mr brok . 
it is also and especially the case in the nuclear sector , where the legitimate concerns about nuclear safety and environmental risks being exploited by ewl anti-nucléaire . 
forming a high-level group is a measure i recommend my fellow members . 
the report that i had the honour to speak before and which was adopted unanimously in committee , asserts that part of the territory controlled by the authority lawful fulfils the copenhagen political criteria . 
for this purpose , a critical part will , without prejudice , of course , the role characteristic of the commission , to the high representative for the cfsp , javier solana . 
however , the main problem that malta has to face is that the government and opposition deem unequally the accession process and that the european union is committed to the fluidity of that process . 
even with the usa and mexico and levels are nearest . that is why we are , in the area of the internal market , for a well thought-out strategy , flexible and to the extent of challenge . 
however , i should also served to express my appreciation of the citizens of the countries of central and eastern europe which eurent brave , ten years ago , on the streets and who have helped to make headway with this process . 
the information society is important for industry , old and new . 
we also cannot allow ourselves to éblouir by percentages of community law transposed into national law . 
but the 10 new countries of eastern europe are of no such uncle of america . 
this also applies , and that is degrading and for the transport of live animals to slaughterhouses . 
in all legislation majeure , we are now imposing an evaluation of the effects on health . 
my report to notices must also speak of the european union and remarking that european funds for regional development cannot continue to be available on the basis of a simple division accountant between regions . 
elmar brok began quite rightly that speech with the comment that we are all beneficiaries of enlargement , especially when it we are working on this side of the external border present . 
the development of the waterways inner will be essential for environmental reasons , because we must ducking quantities of goods by road , and if we cannot transporting them railways , we must use the waterways . 
it has also said that there is egocentricity and even of populism , and the reduction in the course of the euro has certainly not helped to improve matters . 
the message we want to convey to the candidate countries is as follows : ' please do not dérouter by the scale of the reports and issues that are to be here . 
unfortunately , there are currently too many parties who have lost their ideology and that are already giving a idealism inadequate and that materialism excessive . 
if we need to defer the right of the acquisition of land and use of housing at home , différons-le . 
it is up to now , but surely gripped by the lack of transparency bureaucratic and resistance manifesto , albeit not public , a number of governments . 
where incidentally are the millions of jobs promised by the maastricht treaty ? 
while we are in the process of revising the treaties in some member states are already at a future reform . 
the vast majority fact-finding rid of them relate to governed by the member macro-economic and associated with enlargement . 
however , apart from minorities tiny , a political group can undermine the main focus of our political slovene , which is to become members as soon as possible in the european union . 
if the eu is enlarged speedily and there must be the breaking up strong as it is proposed in the opinion of the enlargement of the eldr group . 
in my view , it is clear that the statutory system prescribes a variety of long-term effects on health orphans . 
i would ask you to support the amendments along these lines . 
indeed we politicians europeans do not understand quite well the negotiation process . 
cyprus will become something of a bridge to the countries of the region . 
i wish for negotiators resuming the success of their work on this important matter . 
a second style of communication will be crucial in our countries and countries wishing to accede to tell them what is the european union . 
we cannot afford to lose even more of the élan which prevailed in the early 1990s . 
mr president , firstly , as rapporteur socialists in the report on romania , i should like to congratulate the rapporteur for his excellent work . 
it relates to the institutions and for the member states and for all of us , to live up to this challenge and also in relation to the concerns of our own citizens , and to find the breathtaking , ambition and a vision of the founding fathers of europe . 
unfortunately , however , i have the impression that , despite all the fine words and the numerous chapters that the council has examined in order applied , this enlargement process is not supported or mu on energy policy requires . 
many countries in the european union has faced similar problems at some point or another in their development and can advising bulgaria in order to help them to overcome those in which it must now face up . 
democracy is not just a question of majorities . it is also a matter of codecision route to minorities . 
the candidate countries must be placed on an equal footing and their accession should depend for their own development . 
at the same time , we should acknowledge the efforts of countries like lithuania that rattrapent , if you like , on lost time . 
consequently we are keen to extend our system of rights and freedoms until rumania and this subject must be applied to the debate criticism of the european public . 
however , it is a question around which the rallying happens - namely that of enlargement . 
my group therefore supports the limitation periods of transition towards the environment of a maximum of five years . 
mr president , we have to give an impetus in favour of enlargement . 
the debate is certainly paved with regard to the order in which these countries will join , because it will also look at the state of play in their internal reforms . 
i welcome the very positive report on slovenia and the considerable efforts made by albania to satisfy the copenhagen criteria . as the head of delegation , i was able to me to report back on several occasions , like the commissioner . 
in my opinion , the proposal is worthy of consideration . 
these kinds of violence and exploitation of women must be henceforth convicted and combated by every means possible , both within the eu and in the candidate countries for accession . 
finally , i would like to take this opportunity to join in number of fellow members , and i agree with the thoughts and misgivings , and emphasising the need to carefully study the issue of the borders of europe and , flowing and to the scope of its enlargement , and the opportunity , for the european parliament and to draw up a special report on this . 
the minutes of yesterday 's sitting have been distributed . 
thank you . 
we happens from time to time recalling , rightly , in this house , that the people 's europe must be a europe in which community legislation upholds their rights properly . 
let us proceed to vote on the postponement of the committee on legal affairs and the internal market . 
we know that these substances and products undesirables is rare substances in the toxicology violent , but there are substances that are taking place in time within the body which would have a lifespan long , such as dioxins and the aflatoxines and heavy metals such as cadmium , lead and mercury . 
it is not possible to find those responsible . 
if we are to allow this dilution , we must at least in notify control services and it should be put on record that these watering down exist because the matter should be made public and be the subject of a public debate . 
i should highlight the following : the dioxin crisis was the result of crimes against the existing regulations . 
mr president , i thank those members who spoke before me . 
it was a real need . 
for example , for the fishmeal , the limit value is different from that which is being proposed for products of animal origin not seas . 
it is time we stopped an interpretation out of the principle of subsidiarity , which seeks to further every day heighten the tutelage of brussels of our nations . 
like the rapporteur , i think all these measures are justified , as it is quite right to examine the situation of these substances which she refers - which are not toxin itself , but which increase the toxicity of mixtures . 
unfortunately , a lot of the savoir-faire ancestral , common-sense peasant are lost , in an era of european industrial land where animals are no longer than production units and commodities . 
the new regulations will bring together and assimilate and simplification of the rules sanitary very detailed and complex that were previously éparpillées among many directives . 
the number of people who need to learn how exactly which are constituents is , in my homework and fairly small . 
secondly , the farmers , who are the producers of ingredients in animal fodder , incur definitely a change , in future , we will destroy much more important to their basic products . 
the compensation is necessary but it is clear that the farmers themselves are also very worried about the well-being of their cattle . 
amendment no 18 propose explicitly to include water in the definition of feedingstuffs . 
on the basis of these various evaluations and the commission will propose to member states suitable measures to limit the presence of the products involved in animal feed . 
in view of the amendments submitted for approval of this house , i am grateful to parliament for its support for the proposal . 
to sum up , therefore , the commission can accept in full 15 of the 27 amendments . 
i am assuming that this time , they will not succeed . 
the commission has promised that it is travaillerait and has also announced that the list would not be ready tomorrow . 
farmers must simply pretences - that , at least on request and in the form of percentages - everything contained such compound feedingstuffs and where quantity . 
finally , i would like to sincerely thank the rapporteur , mr graefe zu baringdorf , and mrs roth-behrendt for their reports and hope that the council will come here a constructive attitude , so that we can achieve a transparent system of the declaration of feed . 
all this , of course , because of the tragedy of bse that was a real novel on several chapters . 
the toxics that affect the health of humans and animals , is not acceptable . 
but let us start with the positive points . 
the proposal before us is the beginning of a series of initiatives which are based on the white paper on food safety . 
thank you , commissioner . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
report ( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by m queiró , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , on human rights , common security and defence policy , on the application for membership of hungary in the european union and the state of negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ] 
report ( a5-0247 / 2000 ) by baroness nicholson of winterbourne , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , on human rights , common security and defence policy , on the application for membership of the romania in the european union and the state of negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 510 - c5-0033 / 2000 - 1997 / 2171 ( cos ) ] 
thirdly and it is perhaps the most difficult conditions , the council must reach agreement on new arrangements institutionally which allow for the community to function effectively and efficiently and democratically after enlargement . 
even if you agree with the principles of article 13 , it is clear that the legislation derived from which the european union draws goes too far , and that there is no good reason for rejecting the candidate countries a right to differentiating between cultural . 
let me conclude by insisting that the enlargement process must be progressive , in step with the modification of the candidate countries . 
. ( es ) in the current situation and , in view of reservations which have started to make itself heard about the enlargement of the european union , it is important that parliament is a political gesture clearly in favour of it . 
but the eu , since its inception , vocation is to bring together the peoples . 
the criteria of copenhagen in 1993 , with regard to democratisation or of the ability to sustain competition reinforce , by way of the ' acquis communautaire ' , the reign of a brutal capitalism and destructive . 
a headlong rush into enlargement in such circumstances , threatens to speed up aberrations populists and fascisantes who pointed up . 
the agenda of this session contains precisely a report relating to equality between men and women , who once again the unsatisfactory state of the acquis communautaire in this area . 
that would indeed denying entry , in our european home , poland 's copernic and of pope john paul ii , of hungary martyred by 1956 budapest or of the capital symbol , prague , when democracies populaires défenestraient the head of state and écrasaient the people of jan palach , immolé for freedom . 
a europe larger area and to tasks and the homework more numerous , requires a greater financial resources . 
i take this opportunity to express my greetings to the elderly and pensioners in estonia , hoping that it is to keep their livelihoods within the european union . 
i therefore see no reason why latvia is not recognised inside the european union , if it continues to grow as quickly once and for the union will procedurally the conversion of its institutional structure and its policies to cope with enlargement . 
i therefore see no reason for that lithuania is not recognised inside the european union , if it continues to grow as quickly once and for the union will procedurally the conversion of its institutional structure and its policies to cope with enlargement . 
action is also evident in the field of environment and the application of the so-called national fund for the protection del environment ' and applying the polluter pays principle . 
by ensuring that polish membership of the common house and the union will have justly focusing on the new arrivante : justice which it has been too short . 
i hope that the czech republic join the union cursorily . 
. i welcome the queiró report on the application for membership of hungary in the european union and i agree with most of the conclusions which embodies the rapporteur . 
i hope that bulgaria join the european union for a future not too distant . 
poos report ( a5-0249 / 2000 ) 
it is a positioning fair and balanced that the council of ministers must take seriously . 
i hope , incidentally , that the talks held under the aegis of the united nations will come about , so that the cypriot people greek and turkish benefit , together , of the benefits of membership in the context of a republic reunified . 
. i should like to warmly welcome the poos report on the accession of cyprus to join the european union . 
however , us as consumers , we are therefore the final phase of the food chain and are therefore the réceptacle final of misappropriation and of pirate foodstuff . 
we attaches particular importance to implement , at european level , and more specifically , food safety for the stall to table , or by the hayfork up to the fork . 
that is precisely because we are in favour of the development of cooperation relations , really fraternal and partners truly equal , between different countries on earth , that we do not intend , in our vote , to endorsing a farce . 
the council has informed parliament before the vote in committee , but only just before it , casting aside and deliberately any chance to look at this question with me or with parliament . 
in my report , i would broader representation and involvement of ngos and increased responsibility towards the european parliament and the establishment of an annual report to be discussed in parliament , a degree of transparency as large as possible , promotion of memories of the past as a means of combating prejudices and recognition of discrimination multifaceted . 
at the same time , the interests warranted workers must be taken into account . 
as the supreme responsibility rests with the social partners as regards the regulations on the discrimination at work , they are in a better position to develop practical solutions . 
replying to my invitation , jenny had come attend as coordinator of the group access charter . 
practicality , because the guidelines and action programmes ' comments on the one hand , the member states to combat discrimination on the basis of the same principles and , secondly , the commission to play its role as guardian of the treaties , but also of guideline in the social debate . 
although the legal basis release funds for new preparatory actions and they are funded from within this category could lead to a reduction in appropriations for other policies . 
ladies and gentlemen , we have before us a proposal for a framework necessary but insufficient , which we will have the opportunity to improve the mechanisms once a minimum period of time for implementation will have elapsed . 
i hope that the commission , in the light of this new directive will develop an interest in doing for the sexual discrimination . 
i congratulate the commission , as well as the authors of these reports . 
i am delighted with the opinion of the mann report which aims to allow aid to underlying rationale of ask , if necessary , the staff requirements for the employment arising from this basis . 
the speed with which the institutions have made use of new powers of the amsterdam proves , commissioner , that the european union canning always its role as a pioneer in terms of equal opportunities , and that is why i heartfelt thanks go to the european commission . 
the fact that there is in our society discrimination of various kinds confirms the importance of the action programme on when and on the report by mr cashman . 
mr president , on behalf of the bonino list i should like to express the european effarement that we are faced with the way europe and the member states are approaching the issue of discrimination , racism and xenophobia . 
can the commissioner to explain why the commission does not take account of this problem ? 
the second issue i would like to raise is that the ngos , as important as it may be , are asked to take charge of implementation , regardless of size , by their nature and actions that they are pursuing . 
the liberal group and democratic evaluated all this positively and particularly the work of parliament who wanted to insist , also and above all , on the prevention of phenomenon and not just on best practices . 
this is a challenge for us all , because we consider the other on a first impression . 
mr president , combat and legislate against discrimination which is to recognise that there are indeed that they are so many of them , ' regulated ' because banalisées . 
the first and unctad , the united nations conference on trade and development , asked in 1963 in geneva the principle of inequalities compensatory and therefore to discrimination . 
in fact , the information and awareness of concerning this very important , they must play a key figure and serve to instil a new approach , a new way of thinking and to be so that these prejudice still escaping from a pervasive in the population to be completely eradicated and that real equality is guaranteed in legal terms amongst the citizens . 
we therefore need to make progress with the two legislative initiatives discussed today , with increased but some of these aspects and by increasing the amounts set aside for the financing of galileo , to reflect the political importance of this fight against discrimination . 
in particular , the agreement on the precautionary principle is needed reasonable , including sweden and ireland is the pionnières , will now ensure that workers from the whole of europe , adapt their places of work , acquired special equipment and adjust their working methods in order to give a fair chance to blue-collar handicapped . 
article 13 is the start of a new objective e.u. : the unfavourable or unequal treatment of citizens through grounds listed in article . 
the second point concerns the european gross mistake committed , unfortunately , that the commission with this first package in the way it wanted to draw up a list of priorities in terms of the forms of discrimination . 
mr president , discrimination based on religion is unacceptable , as any other form of discrimination . 
as a layman convinced , i cannot therefore to associate myself with it . 
however , the european noble-minded idea of giving every citizen of maximum freedom as possible , provided that it is compatible with the same degree of freedom to others , meets again today constraints - some of knowledgeable and other of law . 
one of these directives has already been made in record time , and i think that the other is a good chance of being adopted during the french presidency in november . 
some do not comply with legal requirements , such as the one on agreements between the commission . 
however , i cannot accept amendment no 38 , which seeks to delete article 5 in the list of difference in treatment on the grounds of age , which could be justified . 
you mentioned the important question of whether the contract . 
that is the first time that we are allowing joint projects in this action programme . 
clearly , the greater the code will be all-embracing and more it will be effective . 
article 7 of the code urge member states to prevent any transfer of arms to the end-users inappropriate . 
mr president , i confess that i below nostalgia in the days when émanaient , the european parliament , but also of various peace movements and trade unions and incentives to follow and act within the context of a gradual reduction of arms production , and where we wondered how one could go on military use is off civil use . 
given the situation facing today the world and our continent , after the cold war and the breaches of the equilibrium established by the terror of weapons of mass destruction , such behaviour would be irresponsible . 
these weapons have become , as it were , the symbol of anarchy in many places in the world . 
the cfsp obscures one activity destined to deal with the crisis situations outside the eu 's borders , rather than anything that can be described as a defence policy . 
their aim is to prevent arms exports to fates of governments violating the human rights and of regions occurring in belligerence or the regions which are engaged in shopping at weaponization . 
the commission , in close collaboration with member states , has been active in the creation of joint action of the european union on small arms and to step calibre . 
the next item is the commission communication on the european area of research . 
introduction of forms of intervention of extended opening ; intermediary between the furtherance of projects and funding institutionally , use instruments variable-geometry offered by the treaty , in particular the participation of the union for national programmes as it is under article 169 of the treaty . 
what we want to strengthen and that is the character of hierarchy and it depends on the level of mode of intervention . 
you say envisaging a recasting of the total programme . 
i think that we now need to do something that structure is a european research area , in other words , something which goes beyond the framework programme coming to increase of national programmes ; we need an element structure , which means that we have to accept formulae . 
with regard discussions with the stoa , i believe we must do something together with parliament and the joint research centre , the institutions of foresight herrings in individual member states are involved . 
it seems that the commission is making progress towards the achievement of the european research area . 
there will be just a chapter on the science and society and its citizens . 
contacts were held with the authorities in greece , ireland and portugal to ask the government of these countries sped up the presentation of the committee on their projects under the cohesion fund . 
probably the absence of the service you mention and which prevailed in the last commission , which was devoted exclusively to the cohesion fund , makes it impossible to have any news more concrete . 
my second question is : apart from the cohesion fund , there is the community support framework and the structural funds and regional programmes , etc. to which countries have you received projects reliable and which schemes which countries have you already adopted ? 
in 1989 , the commission has introduced a new proposal to offer greater flexibility . 
i fully understand the arguments of mr bolkestein and i know that the rule of tenet of treaty prohibits dismiss aliens more companies as domestic , but the general act of fair competition in europe should be applied , and as levels of taxation are completely unreasonable , we should consider the effect that legislation on competition can have on the situation , and that in spite of the general view that we are dealing with a prerogative of member states . 
if you want to retain the fuel and it must be done via taxes on a steam , rather than through other forms of taxation . 
in reply to mr purvis that question drawbacks regional wildlife is indeed a matter for national governments inasmuch as part of their electorates finds itself in periphery and away . 
mr president , commissioner , thank you for your information . 
this spring and of summer hutus and the commission has undertaken a general review of its activities and its human resources . 
we have had some information on that . 
the juveniles , in an ever increasing proportion , are exploited by tourists and business people , who for large numbers of them come from europe . 
the commission believes that all companies will be able to get ready in time for the final conversion to the euro , including with regard to adjusting their computer systems and their software . 
this discussion philosophico-politique is of the agenda but we can discuss a general of the dangers of a referendum , although it may be in a different context . 
it also applies to momentum . 
a review has recently been sent to the french authorities . 
with regard to the candidate countries , i can tell you that it has held meetings with them on the subject of animal transport and that agreements preliminary were concluded . 
but the commission has been informed in the season for sowing the spring of this year of interception seed imported from conventional varieties of different species and is understood cotton , containing traces of gm seeds . 
now , after consulting its staff , i am able to inform you that the basic requirements in relation to security and computer equipment for private use or professional laid down by a directive on the electrical and directive ' low voltage ' , and by the directive on equipment and radio sector telecommunications terminal equipment . 
is accordera-t-il mind with me for saying that the distinction made between safety at work and safety at class or security for a child who work at home that does not really a ? 
perhaps serrera-t-il the hand of president khatami . 
aung san suu kyi is now de facto under house arrest . 
so i am reluctant to go further on trade or to advise other actions on trade and investment . 
question no 15 by ( h-0769 / 00 ) : 
those who said to me that were e.g. refer to some meetings pre-electoral which they had been committed . 
questions nos 16 to 44 will receive written answers . 
we want , however , the european report consolidated , published and approved by this parliament . 
we should concentrate on the move to degeneration of weapons and not the way in which we will ensure our competitiveness in relation to other countries in the world who produce armaments . 
the five permanent members of the security council , who are supposed to look after our safety , should take heed of these proposals and negotiations as soon as possible , to arrangement really worthy of the 21st century . 
the debate here today is an important milestone in the process of reform that the prodi commission has launched a little more than a year . 
i cannot help to have the impression that in its haste to produce a proposal within the deadline set by the white paper on reform , the commission has failed to address properly the details . 
i therefore propose that the auditor and the internal auditor produces winners of the annual reports to turn up to their activities . 
the van hulten report heightening more so , and rightly so , the distinction plaidée by the commission . it forms a good starting point for the exchange of best practice among the institutions . 
let us hope that this is not repeated . 
if we create a rule on the major institutions , then the principle of independence highlighted by the wise men should be everywhere . 
we have very often alive in the past situations in the decision-making inordinately long sparked amongst the proposers disappointment and loss of confidence in the european institutions . 
let me tell the commissioner that this report is merely a transitional stage . this means that it is the first phase of building a bridge between the system of control available to us today and the system we wish to have following the reform . 
that is the proposal which is before you . 
only when they are to be capable of taking it on that the sampling , the procedure sampling , will also be frequent monitoring and will be denied . 
beyond words , we are all aware that it is certainly not an easy task . 
i am thinking of course that we are not designation , nor as politicians or as a technicians in order to get to grips alone in resolving this problem . 
fortunately , the vast majority of children and young people grow up in an environment exempt from such harmful factors . 
i fully agree with the commission president , when he stresses the need for such a catalogue statutory ; it is absolutely essential , in my opinion , underpin the principle of subsidiarity and that means that the eu is abstienne to seek to introduce effective policies in many areas in which the political problems are not trans-national . 
information from the whole world and on all aspects of knowledge are becoming available from the domicile in the shortest time possible . theirs , communicate with the whole world is one thing mainstream . 
apprehended very quickly , they have to policemen , ' it is amusing , in the feuilletons , it does not take readily ' . 
legislators - i will end here , mr president , cannot resolve matters , but it must occasionally reminded the rights and duties of everyone . 
i am also very receptive to the remarks made about education and training on reading images and on the awareness of the younger generation as having a questioned the media and not to buy whatever they like , whenever you like , no matter how . 
if a report like this fails to make progress and to improve the mobility or at least starting to break down the barriers which are currently mobility in the world of education and there is no longer does impact negatively on their side . 
the problems to resolve in the various countries are to diverse nature , for example , regulations differ in terms of social security and fellowships studies , residence permit , taxation and lack of mutual recognition of examinations and traineeships . 
it is time for europe committing itself again on the proper implementation of programmes such as socrates and youth for europe . 
experiences with regard to mobility of students and teachers are proof that the real problems of kidneys are not so much on the part of the management of education in the field of social and fiscal authorities and immigration . 
you mentioned the socrates programme to illustrate this issue . 
we need a system of inspection and control abundantly clear , even though they have done in sampling , above all , a facility , a web page , where the commission might lodge complaints . 
we therefore call for the integration of the target group researchers of the group of people eligible recommendations . 
it is easy to do so in a speech , but not so much in practice . 
the debate is closed . 
we appreciate your approach , as well as that of the president chirac or from the minister joschka fischer . 
enlargement imposes strengthening and reinforcing permits and do not discredits enlargement . 
( applause ) europe has a cultural heritage , social and legal and science-based single aggravated by the variety and vitality of national components . 
the proposal for a resolution on the commission 's reports , on which you will be voting earlier , is rich in this . 
it is evident in the report produced by the finnish presidency on women in decision-making . indicators that she has drawn up will allow us to evaluate the progress made . 
aside from the conference of ministers and the symposium on equality at work , two very important reports and devoted specifically to equality , but deriving from the committee on employment and social affairs deserve to be mentioned . 
the second relates to the principle of non-discrimination , including based on sex . 
as part of the annual reports , i would add , and the president-in-office has also mentioned this - that one of the main problems facing the eu is , of course , the existence of large cultural differences . 
the reports which we are debating here also give the impression . 
we must ensure that the directive on equality may arise in real legislation . 
i believe that this method is used primarily in finland are used in many areas and , since it forms part of the strategy of equal opportunities in the commission , we can provide a good result . 
on behalf of equal opportunities and french women have claimed , thanks to europe and the right to work at night . 
as a french citizen , a vision of the world m is particularly alien . 
despite these reservations , we will vote for this report because , of course , we are in favour of equal opportunities , but equal opportunities , it is above all due respect for everyone . 
those who deprive the mothers liberty to raise their children without being paid the price will later on in the form of crime juvenile and of vandalism . 
in this regard , i would remind our report on the splitting of fundamental pension in the event of divorce , so that the benefits for the survivors and the age of retirement are integrated into the directive on 1979 . 
women polish we were very grateful to specify that the speaker who were present did not even take over the position of women polish . 
a greater presence of women at all levels of government and in all areas is essential to strengthen democracy and to promote and maintain peace . 
finally , i should like to mention the situation of women in the countries which have prepared to join the european union . 
as council members , including men who will sit here , have to take on the essential task which is to bring europe in the fight against the mafia which organizes the trafficking in women , because this form of slavery is not the kind of problems that can make heighten the shoulders of the politicians responsible , or that they can hold back or overlooked . 
we can make reporting and the speeches that we are examining today that the issue of equal opportunities has , as many as we know , a problem about structures and , for it up , we need global strategies , because women are neither a class or a social group homogeneous , let alone inimical . 
it is true that i was rather sorry to see that maria de belém roseira would no longer this post . 
two of you have spoken of new social rights , new rights tax . 
thirdly , they form the basis of a strategy with regard to the european union , even for the charter of fundamental rights , and because we have prepared for a culminating in the current situation also featured - but they also offer the possibility nationally , since the member states can now , thanks to the comparative assessments and define their national targets . 
the joint debate is closed . 
we must see these amendments in the new context of the interinstitutional agreement and , consequently , parliament can allow compromises with is not insisting on these amendments comitology discerned that , in a way that they were unable to handle the new interinstitutional framework . 
nevertheless , i still personally that i believe that the text approved at the time by parliament matched even better if the new realities which gave rise to the single market and free markets , as long as all the elements of clarificatory and control than was introduced amendments not accepted ensured greater respect for legislation and ensuring equal procedures . 
if we want non-member states accept the compromise , the european community must be the first to apply to monitor compliance with its own rules . if a country has the opportunity to bring products to market with community smuggling , why prendrait-il worth negotiating some sort of concession with us ? 
similarly , parliament 's amendment concerning the declaration of illegal immigrants , which was adopted by the council , will allow the customs administrations of member states to make an retro-fit instruments for managing warning latest business . 
but it is too late now to the vote has just taken place and the members have voted in favour of it . 
votes ( continuation ) 
report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) by mrs dybkjær , on behalf of the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities , on the commission 's annual reports on ' equal opportunities for women and men in the eu , 1997 and 1998 and 1999 [ com ( 1999 ) 302 - c5-0106 / 1999 ) ( com ( 1999 ) 106 - c5-0289 / 2000 ) ( com ( 2000 ) 123 - c5-0288 / 2000 - 1999 / 2109 ( cos ) ) 
. this is not the first time that i have spoken about the mobility of students and as such teacher . 
this report is even more important than it occurs at a critical time for the european union and that of enlargement . 
this discrimination does not struggle through the creation of additional administrative bodies , only in people 's attitudes . 
i did not vote for the mann report , because if it is absolutely necessary to seek equal treatment of people in employment and labour , should also do not get the zeal in point abandon all protection of fundamental rights and with due respect for the rule of law . 
as a layman convinced , i was unable to associate myself with it . 
the snp welcomes this directive and its goal of ending discrimination at work . 
if we want to make the directive acceptable and enforceable , it cannot be overburdened with literature and of desires which do not belong in a legislative text . 
the eplp has , however , more serious reservations on the following areas . 
some things too should , in our view , be left to the discretion of member states , such as the general scope , the organisation of training for workers to some age groups , the nature of the system of mediators , and how they must interpret it . 
in this interview , hulten said quite correctly that only about resolving problems such as fraud , the wasted , but also the inefficiency in the decision-making process and will enable us to start with an agenda positively . 
the reasons for the course of my vote it relates to a large extent , to the question of closer links between the eu and nato and to the european boost given to the common defence policy . 
this is also arms exports of europe as a means of resolving the conflict in the future locally geographical areas bordering on europe . 
however , i cannot accept that there furnish the need for a common defence policy and a common european security and defence policy . 
children are the main victims of violence on television . 
i welcome the introduction of this study . 
the group of experts will be represented at community level . it will have the task to establish a european memorandum establishing the general principles for the protection of minors in the context of the media . 
dybkjær report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) 
it is particularly interesting that for the first time , be considered it necessary to continue appraisal of effective policy initiatives in the middle of the commission 's annual reports . 
peru 
mr president , peru afflicting moments of uncertainty and we have all the hope that the current situation is resolved by means of a process , guaranteeing all civil and political rights and contributing to the strengthening of democracy and peace in peru , where 25 000 people died in the last fifteen years . 
the word to is the word ' democracy ' . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the conditions under which have been conducted elections in peru in may this year were not accepted . 
b5-0793 / 2000 , by mrs ainardi and others , on behalf of the group of the european united left / nordic green left , on the situation of women in afghanistan . 
i am therefore pleased to note that there are some points very sound and clear about the situation of women and that it draws attention to the need to try to intervene to ensure that the taliban regime is continuing its use of discrimination frontal women . 
the eu has an important task . 
there cannot be recognition on the part of any member state , as will continue the policy of violation of human rights , especially in systematic discrimination against women . 
we must take account of this fact , the european institutions , and the fact that the drug crops are being used to buy arms . 
it will support , however , in a decisive manner neighbouring countries and to improve their chances of drugs policy . 
i think it is time to draw attention to the fact that the european union is beginning to sketching an integrated policy towards the countries of latin america which could prevent these countries are experiencing periodically crisis situations such as those that some have experienced . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the commission and the european house welcome the release of father jesuit castilian alejandro matos castro last week . 
b5-0782 / 2000 ) by mr haarder , on behalf of the european liberal , democrat and reform party , on macedonia : legislation for tertiary education and universities . 
that is why we are delighted that the problem of higher education possibly has finally found a solution really positive . 
personally , i think this is mainly a good example and for all neighbouring countries , demonstrating that education is not only to teach hatred - as is the case in most cases , but it can also be the birthplace of a multi-ethnic coexistence pacific . 
i would also like to see this solution is approved by all the parties represented in parliament . 
perhaps i can take this opportunity to emphasize that the commission has already been able to be congratulated on his cooperation with the high representative , mr van der stoel . 
we are not holding this debate today only to express our deep sorrow . we are having chiefly to investigate what has happened and what are the causes and how we are to remedy the situation , how can we , as the commission and parliament will ensure that such events do not occur again . 
in any case , mr president , we agree with the present joint resolution on which we support as it is libellée , under the urgency , and on the basis , of course , from what i mentioned earlier . we disagree with the proposed amendments also under urgent procedure . 
for my amendment on working conditions , there is a directive for doing so , the wording of amendment is not as well as the text . 
it is simply not acceptable for the islands of the north and the west of scotland , as in the route of potential crossings in the north sea towards the european continent is concerned , let us hope that inaugurated in the near future . 
i am pleased that the greek government has meanwhile been called off this derogation . 
therefore , following the shipwreck of the vessel samina express and the commission immediately asked the greek government to provide clarifications on the application of community law in force . 
i should like to raise the question , and i ask you to clarify this with the bureau , though , following the abolition of friday , the abolition of thursday has not made a particular way . 
the problem is resolved and as long as we will not , the international financial institutions - the imf and world bank - will be unable to support the democratic serbia . consequently , it must also work in the un and the countries of former yugoslavia and source as quickly as possible an agreement which can unfreeze , when the time of freedom arrives in serbia , aids economic - through the imf and world bank . 
at this moment will perhaps be a onto the streets of belgrade the advent of a democratic change where the use of violence can be avoided . 
we all condemn the acts that can be seen as provocation , particularly as regards the holy places in jerusalem . 
with regard to the middle east , and we europeans have made an effort , venice , madrid and oslo , stockholm - and we really are supporting the promotion and the development of this process . 
the fact most shocking is the use of balls in fragment by police and army israeli ; these balls , which explosent in the text by tens of pieces and which are prohibited in an international level , even in fighting against soldiers , are now deployed against civilians . 
i believe that europe can and must play a major along these lines , clearly and decision . 
we must therefore do everything to stop the fire in progress as quickly as possible . 
the provocations such as the action of ariel sharon must not be allowed to happen . 
it is again at the moment , and that is what inhibit and prevented europe in the course of the many years , to play a role as mediator in the middle east , abandoning its role in the united states alone . 
we do not sacrifierons the serbian people in our high-minded objectives moral because it could spell the death of thousands of people in serbia and yugoslavia . 
to conclude , madam president , i propose to send a parliamentary delegation as quickly as possible and as soon as a new yugoslav government has been formed in order to establish the level of re-building of a new serbia in conjunction with the new government . 
madam president , ladies and gentlemen , we are clearly a historic day in parliament which will perhaps be the end of one of the last cornerstones of a totalitarian regime in europe . 
mr president , there is a problem , the german version of the list of topical and urgent debates , and i do not know if it is also the case of other versions - contains all the amendments proposed by the gue , but no proposal for a resolution , nor the joint text . 
mr president , i should just like to draw the attention of my colleagues on the pile indicating what documents we needed to be voted for this week . 
if parliament could propose amendments to the council decision , it soulignerait probably unemployment and social problems in croatia which are due to regime austerity imposed on barbados , yet there is no legal basis for such amendments along these lines . 
this is an opportunity to claim the same objectives as regards the activity of the eib . 
mr president , we discussed yesterday evening , at the very heart of this house , the question of serbia and changes revolutionaries who occur there . 
i would also like to reassure the honourable members , and especially the council , to remain in the negotiations over coming months on the budget for next year and the subsequent years , the more true to the commission 's proposal , which , in my opinion , is currently the best estimate of the overall costs in croatia and in other parts of the balkans . 
in 1990 , the democratic elections held in this country were found to be fair and free from international opinion . 
i therefore say yes to financial aid , yes to this ensured , and i invite energetically the commission to help massively barbados deeply european and now really governed by democratic means and under the principles of the rule of law , with one voice to the candidates for accession , because i believe that croatia has earned our unconditional support . 
like the rapporteur , i wonder whether the money allocated for this really will be available , all the more that it looks as if enormous resources must be made available for serbia and that the eu budget is not tightened up considerably . 
the delegations of the croatian parliament and the us have also asked the council to extend the mandate of the eib . 
i hope that contacts have noueront quickly and that , as in croatia , aid is provided to the serbian people , which deserves our greatest respect . 
( the minutes were approved ) 
in the same spirit , we call upon the women of the european parliament to participate in this empowerment : there is an appeal tuesday and wednesday and we prize signatures and participation in the delegation , because i want to build explicit , between women and builders peace where there is violence . 
overall , there were more suffering for the basque people and for spaniards ; it is true that the spanish and basques are tired of the current conflict . 
madam president , you will recall that , in the last part-session , i mentioned the plight of a activist democrat , the british james mawdsley , which was accommodated illegally by the burmese authorities . 
madam president , speaking for myself , i should like to deal with exalts the rules of procedure . 
in fact , this report on the technical façade , which is to provide a great refinement of political and very important because , dropped , it introduces the possibility of practising genetic engineering in viticulture and therefore therein lies the vine growing gm . 
if we do not agree with the report , there will delays . 
the council of state - as you said - has rejected this action and we have fully informed of the proceedings . 
but today the situation again and revolves around a meyer , certainly in the ppe , instead of my political party in italy . 
that is why we are actively to the introduction of a scoreboard social , as has been the case for the internal market , with clear rules and deadlines and deadlines . 
i hope , madam minister , that the council will be inspired by the desires of parliament and that you will manage , at the nice summit , to set ambitious objectives in a european social agenda which we will then be in the coming years . 
following the informal meeting on employment and social policy ' commencing 8 july in paris , the presidency has called on all the actors involved - european parliament , of course , economic and social committee and cor and social partners , ngos and groups and committees of the council - for him to air their proposals . 
set against the quantitative at quality is a false debate and lisbon defined very clearly two purposes : more jobs and better jobs . 
we must encourage this mobility , while ensuring the safety of paths professional . 
we must try to reiterate and to describe the shortcomings of the system and , in any event , we must put them in the agenda . 
we believe that the open coordination is the right path towards a social europe . 
the implementation of the ambitions societal posted at lisbon is an attempt community-spirited , an action plan for the creation of jobs in the services , including those related to the information society . 
the commission obviously must make an important contribution , but the social issues are based on a local level , and there must be treated with maximum account of the different circumstances tangible . 
the social acted as redressing the most harmful effects of economic policies . 
the proposal submitted originally by the commission would have been much better unamended - congratulations , commissioner . 
this is an ambitious agenda . i can still remember what we have made laboriously in social protection in the last parliamentary term . 
i think that this will be very positive and it easier for women to reconcile family and work . 
i sometimes get the impression that , in the concept of modernisation , people often think to strip the welfare of its content . 
what are the fundamental elements of the content ? 
it is still difficult to define european objectives that are equally applicable to all member states , given that there is a fact diverse . 
49 amendments were tabled by the commission . 
it is therefore important that we provide guarantees of the opportunity for will non-governmental organisations to influence this process . 
another point is that the community has to do more in the assessment of needs on the other initiatives , including , if necessary , adaptation of legislation and equal opportunities and the fight against discrimination . 
it is not as good ideas and fine plans to achieve equality are lacking in the past , but their implementation has often failed . 
it is not acceptable for the voice of women is accaparée by a handful of professional in the & # x02bc ; s lives with the perfusion of public money . 
equality of men and women into civilian life , which allows women to benefit fully from human rights and fundamental freedoms . 
i look to players male interested finally and that they are fighting for stereotypes have been added and of roles between the sexes superseded . 
but i think we should be grateful to have followed this debate , because its presence was not foreseen during this debate . 
competition policy 
we must offer our companies the best possible circumstances allow them to organise their production and , above all their future . 
they must have more choice of of high-quality products sold at competitive prices . this is , ultimately , the reason why we need to promote the single market , while free competition , because it is for all our citizens . 
it is about the decision to grant or not to grant national aid in coal . 
point 16 of the riis-jørgensen report talks about the concern to improve legal certainty at the request for mergers and making it more efficient and more rapid timetables applicable to appeal procedures . 
in any event , there is rail companies which have their force no to a fine management , but the views of monopoly past and present . 
we need to be more closely involved in the public information on competition policy , so as to recognise the benefits . 
they have a considerable effect on employment and regional policy , and i want it understood in future , so that this aid , aid home , which have implications for regional development and the economies of the regions , where the transport assaulting serve as a model type , to be able to continue . 
this communication contains three important points . 
i should also like to thank mr evans for her excellent report on the legislation in areas such as state aid for the steel industry and to the eighth european commission report on state aids in the european union . 
so i would like to reassure mrs palacio and mr karas , as well as other speakers in this area , and telling them that the regulation takes account of their concerns . 
otherwise we servirions our goal , namely its growth and consumers , in a way perverse . 
the joint debate is closed . 
the mechanism for financing is the application of article 119 of the ec treaty , which remains in place for the third stage of the economic and monetary union only for the member states that are not joining the single currency . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , it is good that we can continue talking today about the proposal for a council directive amending directive 68 / 193 / eec on the marketing propagating material végétative of vines , and i hope that tomorrow 's vote is a good thing . 
some of them were launched , on 5 july , the call for beaune , where they are all their concern about the introduction of gmos in their job . 
the rules that they predict that there are also in favour of the production of a physical vegetable heterogeneous by providing the best ways sanitary and this is very important and support efficiently the restructuring of vineyards community-spirited , focal points of the new com vini-viticole . 
it should be made absolutely clear that there was no need to gaver articles of the directive of references to directive 90 / 220 being reviewed , except in trying to promote trying to force in vines gene technological manipulation . 
i am pleased to inform you that we can accept further amendments nos 35 to 40 , tabled by mr graefe zu baringdorf , which aim to improve the implementation of the safety requirements and management enshrined in the directive 220 / 90 . 
i should just like to point out that parliament has not been asked to comment as such . 
madam president , this is about paragraph 14 of the minutes of the request for waiver of parliamentary immunity of our colleague pacheco pereira . 
i will be more specific on qualified majority . 
on the weighting of votes and the two main celebrated also remain on the table : weighting caps on which a slight , very slight , much has been confirmed , either double majority , but with various alternatives , both simple-majority vote or repondérée or some sort of ' fillet demographics ' . 
moreover , without prejudice to the assessment of needs and coordination of economic assistance and financial in the federal republic of yugoslavia , which will be given up jointly with the commission , and in the world bank and the european council in biarritz decided to take in the federal republic of yugoslavia unprecedented humanitarian aid to eur 200 million . 
but do you see , ladies and gentlemen , if i had to say spontaneously and cordially my assessment , as i say this : either the sensitive nature of these issues - composition of the commission and voting system - it is not on this basis will we be able to measure the failure or the success of nice . 
affirmative also had the approval of the heads of state and government of the charter of fundamental rights , but i must nonetheless remind you , mr president-in-office , reason which has made this agreement possible . 
as we do not want to die within the boredom the spirit of nice , our key priority for the 50 days that remain will step up the talks at political level . 
and here i would also like to address meps of the european people 's party - and i ask mr poettering , to hear me , because what we are defending here , we should defend it out . 
as far as we know about the results achieved by the heads of government and chairpersons in biarritz on issues highly sensitive to reform the treaty , the charter will probably be the most wonderful success of nice . 
the council would really expectations voluntary europe-wide by launching a great perusal of the people and the national parliaments , enabling us to reach a charter replying bothers to requirements . 
we therefore need to launch an appeal to everyone to return to the roots of our union , have the courage which have taken place giscard d ' estaing and mr schmitt in deciding to the election by universal suffrage in the european parliament in 1976 and in 1979 and decide what 2009 we will have finally a president of the european union , like to make . 
i would also , in this respect , respond to what was said by mr poettering on the rift between large and small countries . 
i have just returned from a word simply on matters of external trade policy , because it is something quite considerable . 
this is really something of much-valued issues raised by members of the european council . 
another positive point was the adoption of the charter as a whole . 
further , i think that on this crucial issue for the future of the european union and its decision-making procedures and biarritz marked elements and we can only welcome that . 
i hope we can still convince , progress and to prevail here at nice . 
i cite two examples . firstly , we have gone the right to work with the right to work and , secondly , a number of fundamental social rights contained in the social protocol readjusted the council of europe are not in the charter . 
it is clear from the debates taking place throughout europe , including those in biarritz , for the member states the greatest efforts partially to press the smallest member states to reform the european union according to the policy pursued by the the larger countries as well as and when desires . 
the dissatisfied with the two sides bear this out to the negotiators they would give lifts towards a proper balance . 
the leaders of europe have not made a clear vision . 
the commission structured on criteria of representing each state betrays a view tad visionary . 
we would then have a centralised union , which would leave the smaller countries less influence that the system of bicamérisme us simply also offers the provinces of small . 
after the summit in sharm-el-sheikh and where everyone involved were present for found with all the result of the problem of violence and re-establish dialogue between barak and president arafat , we are aware , though there is quite a few where it seemed to be successful , it is extremely difficult to contain the violence . 
bad informateurs , of course , turn out to mr barón something that is not true relating to italy and by my party . 
it is important that we can make progress in matters of taxation of energy in europe . literacy underwent blockage total so far as a result of the principle of unanimity . 
we cannot allow unfolds the situation in which the smaller states in viendraient to fear a drift towards solutions to directorat . 
i believe that the convention has produced an excellent job and i am proud to have been able to count amongst its members . 
in the latter case , it is going to say when function reductions in the rotation soberly egalitarian between large and small . 
the extension to real issues of qualified majority voting and codecision , preservation of article 250 as it stands today , the place and the commission 's role in intensified cooperation , not only on the first pillar : these are some details to enable us to judge instantly if there is , ultimately , foil and success . 
mr president , thank you , mr jacques and to start by jacques delors , and i would like to thank altiero spinelli and to fernand herman , thank you all , of vaclav havel in carlo ciampi , of joschka fischer in jacques chirac , of michel barnier to pierre moscovici , of chris patten on costa simitis , passing through florence , and by the myriad of current meps who have taken up in 1999 , the general trend towards a european constitution . 
are not criticising too the european market , and it is a socialists , which telling you this : it has given us greater wealth for all . 
accordons-nous at least in relation to this objective , and because we do that , say how will this happen . 
mr president , i had the pleasure to note that in substance , the proposals presented recently at the intergovernmental conference are along the same way as all or part of the criteria that i have outlined . 
mr president , commissioner , rapporteurs , ladies and gentlemen , you want us to have , this morning , a debate on the issues on which parliament deemed it necessary to complete its opinion on the intergovernmental conference she gave last april . 
thus , while respecting the constitutional framework exists , it seems to me difficult - i say that , to permit more than an advisory procedure of the opinion of parliament during the outbreak . 
as you know , this requires us to make some political choices and for a cable far greater than the rule of three requirements laid down highest . 
i myself have stressed that the formula retained for the charter is an avenue to explore . 
but i understand that beyond the aspect linguistically , your question hid these a further concern . 
that is why i want to thank you , and in general terms and in terms of form , with the initiative which you have taken . 
the establishment of closer cooperation should not lead to the creation of new institutions which viendraient added to the union 's institutions . 
it is time to revising the treaties . 
the rejection of the european council to incorporate the charter of fundamental rights of the european union in the founding treaties and that we must make that quite legally binding and permit in this way the citizens whose rights would not have been adhered to recourse to the european court of justice and weakens this consensus unimpeded . 
otherwise it is does not meet the europe of citizens in my view . 
paragraph 8 . the basic treating and i quote , ' questions left open ' . 
nobody has yet been able to tell me what would have changed since then . 
secondly , in relation to the agenda insufficient , who has left aside for question particular importance for the future of the european union and the interests of citizenship . 
mr president-in-office , you tell people that on the eve of the revolution bolchevique - something which should be devastating throughout the world - the orthodox church russian had been plunged into a debate complexes on a style clothing for ceremony to pay for the carême . 
it is therefore imperative that the cooperation give any guarantees that was recommended ruffalo , to be open to all , in compliance with the spirit of the treaties , and that they do not go beyond the limits of the acquis communautaire . 
there is a point which i should like to emphasise that we do not think it is right to demand or to give priority to the way of referendum obligatory in all member states to the approval of the proposed amendments . 
we have had a very lively debate on two issues , which may be different , meet with a figure . 
we are prepared to make sure that it will be voting at its meeting in november , so that the text will be adopted in the french presidency . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
that means ' the introduction of the possibility of retire incrementally via part-time work ' , so that it is a threat to the pensionable age , however , far too high in many countries ? 
everyone knows that pensioners , such as children , like jam . 
i asked to pensioners who gave me mandated here in parliament , with the pensioners ' party is that they plairait to drink wine genetically modified . 
also , for exemption , to put on the market propagating material standard when it needs cannot be covered by other categories . 
so i ask you , mr president , the variations in labour costs do not constituent-elles , for that reason , too limitation to free competition within the european union ? 
it was therefore inevitable that we shall be voting against this report . 
despite the measures in favour of greater deregulation within the european union and the state aid still have a constructive role to play in the social and economic development . 
this aid may be necessary to protect the environment and the maintenance of public services and the guarantee of a reduction in income equal to the inhabitants of the geographically disadvantaged regions . 
we emphasized the risk , following the adoption of the control of the eu on state aid is important - to see this in targeting the aid of a small amount , citing competition faced by smes . 
section vi - economic and social committee 
if we are asking the échéanciers implementing the budget for categories 2 and 3 , 4 and 7 , we see that only an average of 8 % of the commitments are covered by payments . 
three years ago , we are wrestled via our initiative for jobs in helping small and medium-sized enterprises in obtaining of risk capital . 
parliament wants to do this in two ways . 
this is the only way that the european institutions fulfil their duties . 
i welcome the opportunity to thank the vice-president responsible for the budgetary issue , mr gerhard schmid , for its constructive cooperation . 
we would like the commission is able to work but we cannot allow it to be the place where the european parliament 's demands , as part of the budgetary authority , which have as little as addresses . 
this means that the 2001 is the last year 's budget unadulterated and it is against that background that we must assess the commission 's proposal and one we are proposing to parliament . 
we also want to that we should look at administrative expenditure . 
since 1985 - i repeat eighty-five - the committee on budgets in the european parliament is trying to ensure that the european parliament take into account the financial implications of the resolution that vote by parliament . 
in conclusion , mr president , i should like to thank the other institutions for their prompt action in dealing with this joint resolution . 
you are being asked today to give your opinion on a budget which was already amended at first reading by the council . 
on the structural policies : the amount of structural actions has generally been perpetuated by comparison with the 2000 budget . 
the council 's attitude towards revising the financial perspectives is tranquillity . 
when you look at these key figures , we see that there are still considerable differences in terms purely quantitative but also , of course , in terms of content . 
here i must point out that , last year and a new decision was taken with the council after a long debate and i have little hope to be able to start this debate . 
the financial perspective agreed in berlin for the period demotic until 2006 foresaw 8 ,1 billion euros for the meda programme . 
i would therefore ask the council and to the committee on budgets to think in terms of foreign policy and not just in terms of budgetary policies , when they are concerned with foreign policy . 
the second concerns aid to victims violations of human rights in need of treatment in the institutions specialised . 
if a compromise solution suited to support the work of the committee on economic and monetary affairs were to be growing at the time left to us , we supposed to sort this out . otherwise , the position of the commission remains open . 
we only have to remind us of this every day on the generate our jobs from television and the fact that the middle east is going through a difficult time . 
i therefore hope that they will after all , in tomorrow 's vote , in the majority required for the monitoring centre in dublin . 
mr president , on behalf of the committee on agriculture and rural development , i would like to make some points of view of embarking on rural development . 
we asked the approval of a lenders shortlist of eur 2 million for an information campaign on the cfp . 
the european commission should negotiate with the arguments of weight to arrive at a reasonable agreement with morocco and the council and the governments concerned need for their part lend political support for these negotiations . 
we see today the 2001 budget , bearing in mind images of the serbian people . 
overall , we should like to see these amendments are adopted . 
however , an important way in which citizens can ensure that their concerns are taken into account has to be mentioning the ombudsman , or the sending of a petition to parliament . 
let me begin by referring to the budget of this house . 
as a surprise to many of my delegation , we have , in early september , as established unanimously a platform strategically . for example , the 400 amendments made by previous speakers have formed a surprise to many of us in the committee on budgets . 
it is difficult to imagine how new posts could solve the problem of management should , in the commission and the council , it is more procedures complex of another age who are being used to implement many programmes . 
in recent years this parliament has repeatedly shown that there relied its work on a thrift real . 
it is unacceptable to , for years , a very vague in terms of commitments and of the re-state regularly if it is to say , when it comes to make their accounts and that enough is enough for us and that we must now restricting on our promises . 
if we do not imagine that some ill-judged million over these lines , and we cannot little else - and we agiterons a carrot , these should be withdrawn if these people are given real needs . 
as the budget for last year , the 2001 budget was facing problems practically insoluble ; firstly , the pressures on the consolidation and a policy of austerity , as agreed in the interinstitutional agreement , to guarantee the financing of enlargement ; on the other hand , the need blatantly obvious to finance the stability pact for south-eastern europe . 
demand for more performances also calls for more staff . 
the adoption of this amendment , in the original , could begin to change the situation , but the majority of the committee on budgets has rejected the idea . 
and here too , unfortunately , there are many other examples : the treatment privileged afforded to combinations of the federalist or the many ngos in the officiating , with the philosophy and the operation of the most controversial and the financing of european political parties , passing through the amounts englouties within the prince programme , to try to persuade the citizens of the member states of the merits of the euro at a time when the single european currency is a loss of confidence largely shared by the european people 's friends dane until the leaders of the european central bank . 
finally , mr heaton-harris has rightly pointed out , in the amendments that have been proposed and the one-sided and many european programmes in the middle whom it serves as a whole propaganda for the citizens on european integration , due to their own expense , more correctly . 
furthermore , our administrative systems must be modernised and so we should set a good example . 
the meda programme , which deals with the mediterranean basin and geographical area in the most important strategic and provides a good example of lack of capacity to implement . 
when we consider to be reductions or take money on category 4 for giving resources to certain priority and we must not forget what the priorities of the house . we have shown that only clearly during the vote in committee . 
this amount has to be the subject of a clarification . 
thank you , mr wynn . 
this means , just as there are real issues flexibility to move forward on this or that policy , even if someone is not , or refuse , and what applies to the countries of the european union applies to the candidate countries . 
i believe that austria has not to complain about what has happened - quite the opposite . 
the recommendations of the regional organisations and findings of the neighbouring countries may contribute to the definition of the funds . 
in 1984 , 0.2 % of owners colombians had 32 % of the earth . 
the council is not to mention one or other aspect of this issue , which is extremely delicate and painful . 
at the same time , there is also unable commence as having a debate on issues which are , once again , an extremely complicated . 
question no 10 by ( h-0722 / 00 ) : 
so i will not attempt well to give a definitive answer on this difficult issue . 
however , we have the feeling , and your answer to this somewhat , as the council presidency is not very proactive in dealing with this matter . 
therefore , earnings from this tax is obviously not null and void . 
i equally the apologise , but we are to apply the rules of procedure . 
if one side or for room has remained silent , so that we have dealt with these issues previously and in our opinion it is pointless to return to a number of occasions over the same issues in this house when our time is valuable . 
furthermore , in anticipation of adopting this directive on the prevention of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies . this decision to withdraw from the material hazardous with regard to these diseases was adopted in june 2000 , in order to resolve any further progress in the epidemic and to provide consumers with the level of health protection as large as possible . 
i have no other points that i was able to give you just now . 
we are monitoring and we are well aware of the work of the commission and council on the erika package .1 . however , with regard to this paragraph , which are known of both countries and known within the european union , which is an essential particularly difficult , borrowed from on high boats to gain a few hours , with the risk of that old tankers added stray and lead to disaster , i would like to know , and especially those living in corsica , to have liked to know sardaigne , will it be possible unless you plan to ban simply converting the mouths of bonifacio with these large vessels and those jumbo containers . 
that is why i believe we must , in principle , support the commission 's proposals for reforming the policy on personnel . 
we must inject new money into the budget for serbia and kosovo . 
i hope , mr president , i shall conclude by that , when there is definitely scrapping the lines of the budget of eur 50 million to finance the peace agreement israel / plo . 
that is why we propose , in the european parliament , additional measures which will serve little to seek further financial support - and we know that the current financial makes this impossible - to consolidate new interinstitutional agreement which will improve the quality of expenditure and ensure that no euro being wasted . 
please bear in mind that in european policy , as anywhere else , the options mild ever-increasing sometimes to be majority . 
it is designed to complicate rather than to guidance , and i was disappointed by the attitude adopted today focusing on activity-based budgeting . 
the fact that we ventiler expenditure depending on the activities enables us to consider the budget as an instrument of policy in which the division of expenditure reflects the political priorities explicit . 
we must find a solution multi-annual to avoid , year after year , reviewed every time how we might find money for the reconstruction of the balkans . 
those interested development of a sustainable agriculture will know , the dynamic plant at the recent reform , as it was agreed in berlin , ' shifts ' constantly for helping the raw materials in direct support for farmers ' incomes . 
a budget , ladies and gentlemen , is always much more than a little danced to figures . 
finally , it is immoral , mr president , to make cuts in agricultural policy , for the meda programme and for the deprived social , in order to provide the resources to fund the tasks of the european union in kosovo and in yugoslavia . 
clearly , we must avoid a situation that the serbian population does suffers from the cold and hunger in the winter . 
furthermore , i would like to express my concern that different youth parliaments input into the socrates programme . 
of course , we must also be clear to the council that it bears a share of responsibility for its part inadequacy of certain external programmes . 
we shall have to make a stable solution regarding aid , especially when it comes to their long-term planning in the western balkans . 
i believe that most people would be prepared to accept such costs , provided that the money is used to good effect . 
i share the concerns and argumentation that the rapporteur , mrs rühle and has raised this evening in research and on the social assistance . 
two weeks ago , on the jpa acp . 
equally , we want the budgetary resources are being invested in the allocated to research and information , to look for alternative production to tobacco producers concerned . 
let me make it clear that the european union has had the effect most direct and a more positive than you can imagine on northern ireland and . 
in this model , compliance with the rules and procedures is covered by an independent authority and , in the final analysis , by judges . 
it gives us and for the first time a codecision procedure at first reading on something extremely complex and riddled with technical difficulties , which is about a sector particularly sensitive to the protection of civil liberties . 
it is quite a positive development that there has not met with a single authority their respective duties . 
do we know that for example the schengen system has been more than ten million sheets of close to one and a half million people , that europol sees its skills constantly broadened and involves centralisation information from various investigation departments of the fifteen member states and that , as the sole control for an authority which neither the competence nor the resources are available to enable it to do out-and-out another task . 
that said , i welcome the presence of commissioner to say that it would seem appropriate to consider not only for the protection of citizens with regard to the new technologies , but also on the use of ict in promoting the capacity of the citizens of europe to intervene and to interact with regard to the european institutions . 
amendments nos numérotés 1 , 2 , 4 , 10 , 12 % and 40 , 42 to 54 , 57 and 58 and 60 to 64 ,000 flare up at the council text to the points on which the commission can agree . 
naturally , so that its opinion on the legislative proposals involving the protection of personal data will be very valuable because it will be an important contribution to the debate legislative between the institutions . 
the treaty acknowledges the outlying regions an economic and social situation eventful and aggravated by disabilities sectional whose permanence and the combination bore very detrimental to the development of these regions . 
it will help and for the promotion of economic and social progress with a high level of employment . 
so i congratulate mrs sudre and we look forward to the rules of application of the commission 's proposals to be taken into account the specific shortly , in accordance with article 299 ( 2 ) of the treaty of amsterdam . 
for many europeans , some outermost regions are mere tourist destinations at the map . 
our unemployment figures are among the highest in the european union . 
i am pleased that the committee adopted by a large majority the amendments which i tabled . 
it is very important , in my opinion , that the ultraperipheral regions are integrated into the trans-european networks transport , energy and telecommunications . 
the adoption and unanimously people in the committee on regional policy , the report presented by our colleague margie sudre is a demonstration of the accuracy of the european parliament with one of his promise the most important . 
we are debating a set of circumstances and imagine from the point ideal and idyllique - let us call it that - has been achieved , we will not have to take further steps in dealing with these three areas and particularly in remote areas that we are talking about . 
this article , ladies and gentlemen means we must not to do all this , but we strengthens and then i think it is necessary , to extend and improve our performance . 
on the preparation of the proposals that are necessary , the commission works , of course , with the member states and the regions concerned . 
in these areas , we know , there is lastingly difficulties and i believe , therefore , objectively speaking , depending on the real state of development , they will need lastingly the support of the regional policy and of special measures . 
a meeting of this kind could once again be organised in the course of the year 2001 , when we are most advanced in the implementation of the programme presented in march . 
the presidency has stated that it is debate and i agree entirely . 
i believe that parliament does well to bear this in the present rules because , as stated by another speaker , very often , in fact , it is not the machines which did not work , but the members who have forgotten to vote on , if you could correcting a vote then we would end up ever . 
i am quite clearly that i eating . 
in short , commissioner , as well as the authority , it is important that the commission services responsible , jointly and in coordination with member states , establishes a system of controls homogenous and effective throughout the food chain and that the network of laboratories food in the european union should be strengthened and works in conjunction with the commission . 
we must avoid any duplication in terms of activities and research scientist , including cooperation with the research centres national and community . 
today we are talking about a white paper and we were keen to find some basic principles . 
now , these procedures have been amended and changed and we have our own national food safety agency and the food standards agency . 
finally , we will also support a number of new amendments , in particular amendments nos 11-13 , 7-9 and we hope to have a vote in conscience about amendment no 14 . 
in this context , let me say straight away that food safety stands or falls on the organization which authorities of stringent controls - controls which are more rigorously than the weakest link . 
it is clear from the work on this question is how superficial and swipe our debate on the political unification of europe . 
are transferring therefore to a european authority of food safety coercion experience scientist , together with our national agencies . 
if you are making the list of the spread of key areas of origin foodstuffs which afflicting europe at present , most did in fact the first outbreak in america . 
but it is vital to specify the conditions of referral to the european food safety authority to ensure effective action and quickly . 
we should also emphasise , as well as some speakers , especially mr whitehead , mrs gebhardt , that the white paper is not so much a new regulatory framework within the european union . 
mr president , i feel today both satisfaction and credit , firstly focusing on the commission has started its work in favour of better food safety , and also to mr bowis and all of the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy . 
amendment no 17 is particularly important . it provides that the plea council to consumer organisations . 
another aspect is the review falling standards in labels , both for the sale broadly and at the moment ; revising system which is at last , thanks to the traceability of products and their ingredients and accurate information to consumers and allows the establishment of responsibility projected where there is a danger or a crisis . 
in my opinion , the development of new legislation is not a positive response to the non-observance of existing legislation . 
during the vote in committee , we managed to strike a certain balance by putting in the field of application issues relating to the nutrition and other references are crucial for the role of small and medium-sized enterprises in saving in eating habits . 
mr president , i would like to join my colleagues in congratulating the rapporteur , mr bowis , for his very constructive approach and very logic of this particular issue . 
mr president , the fact that the white paper on food safety has no legal value does not detract from the dual value it is of signify . 
the rapporteur as well as many people here in the commission , including myself , have stressed the food authority , in fact it is somewhat regrettable . 
the independence and autonomy of the instrument is the attractions that serve to best interest of european consumers . 
i have said many times , along the same time , we have been lucky with the rapporteur 's choice . 
mr president , i would like to congratulate our colleague mr bowis for being genuinely tried to incorporate all these points of view in his report , particularly for accepting that we référions also to the concept of a more general nutrition . 
in short , the political will shirking its responsibilities . 
but above all , we must win the respect of peer review and public confidence and persuade the governments of member states to accept its findings . 
that is how i see a future european food safety authority . 
there is the world health organisation in geneva . 
i am not hiding either , that in the white paper , i voted against the creation of such an authority . 
we therefore need to ensure that the european union has the highest possible standards of food safety , but this viewpoint - universally shared - must also analysing the economic consequences this entails for areas covered by a longing for production . 
the tasks of the agency will then be as follows : research independent scientific and consultation , inspections and controls self-employment as well as an early warning system , but certainly also a coordinating role in order to restore confidence . 
incidentally , i would say to the speakers who have referred to the question of the need to be sensitive to the promotion of local products and traditional that this issue falls under the legislation on hygiene . 
this climate consensual facilitates the work of the commission when it is time to present a balanced proposal which takes account of maximum opinions expressed by parliament and by all member stakeholders in the field of food safety . 
the fact is that it was in recent years one of the driving forces which carried out and political points of view , for the signing of the ottawa convention . 
i reiterate my opposition to the amendments 10 and 19 to the concerns of coherency budgets and , with regard to amendment no 29 , i call on you to vote in blocks so that we have an improved wording of the text blighted for me to problems of interpretation 
that raises a question one : the european union and in particular the commission must do everything to ensure that those countries that did not yet been signed the ottawa convention . 
. ( de ) mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we all know the impact of anti-personnel mines , although they are often in special cases of justifications military important . 
it is he who raised for the first time in 1996 , the question of a budget line horizontal and the creation of an adequate legal basis to provide a platform common to all the many actions undertaken in this important area . 
but i cannot hide the fact that the persuasion of the european union to achieve this objective runs somewhat behind the reluctance of some member states which fail to sign and ratify the convention . 
mine action is becoming ever more effective if it can adapt to the conditions subject to every situation . 
parliament will know there are already too , and thanks to our proposals for reform of eu aid from outside , we hope we shake off the severity of the control of individual projects and focusing our debates with the member states of strategies and programmes world-wide . 
ngos have mushroomed to meet the needs , and yet we must recognise that some 4 years after the first un conference on landmines which took place in geneva and over a year after the entry into force of the ottawa convention , many countries and thousands of people in the world , often in the poorest regions and continue to suffer the terrible consequences of antipersonnel landmines and the unexploded ordnance . 
the commission needs to improve both the quality of its programmes and the speed of their implementation . 
however , i think that if you are parcourez again on very carefully , and you will see that there are several other amendments which you mentioned that , in my opinion , relate to awareness campaigns , on transparency and on access reserved for ngos and to things which are very successful at the moment but that might still operating more effectively . 
mrs bonino and mr patten has also right in stating that the council and parliament should not be about the administrative questions , and i was interested to hear the remarks of mr patten on this point , because it puts clearly that we should certainly not concern ourselves with them . 
mr president , a long time ago that our group intervening actively on the whole range of applications and the necessary steps , since the pause for production and the destruction of stocks and stopping sales , up to the clearance of mines rehabilitation and awareness . 
the states and to support a process in international forums . 
landmines are clearly a major obstacle to the reconstruction of these countries and the return of refugees . 
with the rate at which we are , as was said earlier , we need much more than a hundred years to rid the world antipersonnel mines . 
the third sector is specific action to propose , to monitor and execute . 
for all children that we protect in bosnia , in africa and elsewhere in death or the horrendous injuries resulting from the mines and the efforts we give all are justified . 
we must ensure pressure on the countries of the european union which have not signed , such as finland , or who have not ratified , such as greece . 
ladies and gentlemen , look finland ! 
finally , we hope that future tasks of the common eu military force prévoiront training of technicians , especially for people who have an interest in the disappearance of local mines . 
we do not emphasise also that the list of countries most seriously affected is mainly made up of developing countries . 
the european parliament 's proposals will not be more in keeping with the lisbon objectives . 
the rapporteur , mrs van lancker and hope that parliament decides to amend the commission 's proposal , mainly by adding some areas where legislation is acceptable , and secondly , in drawing up a number of rights at european level . 
thus , the luxembourg process , which relates to the employment policy and should be extended to cover social protection and to social exclusion . 
the most superpowers such as germany , france and great britain and to some extent , italy , are all agreed to submit to their domination small countries of eastern europe and the south applying for membership of the european union . 
however , we feel for legal reasons , that is right to refer now to article 6 of the ec treaty , because it has not been formally adopted within the convention , because of its structure , and there is no question of the legal status . 
we believe that the inclusion of a new text into the treaties could lead to confusion on legal affairs . 
furthermore , the rapporteur echoes of the new theory currently popular in brussels , the so-called dual legitimacy of the european union : that of citizens represented by the european parliament and the member states represented by the council . 
the social democrats swedes and danes have today voted against the report by mr olivier duhamel on the constitutionalising the treaties . 
it is essential that the european union is moving towards a constitution which incorporates the charter of fundamental rights . 
a constitution would only make sense if it was a democratic framework of a genuine european federation , on the united states of europe . 
he has said having understood , along with many of the politicians , we would rather govern our relations with other countries by an international treaty . 
. ( en ) i welcome the report by mr duhamel as an interesting and constructive contributions to the idea of the constitutionalising the treaties . 
they believe that a rearrangement and simplification of the treaties would enable the people a better grasp of the area of responsibility of the eu and its limitations , and the procedures for the implementation of responsibility in question . the charter of fundamental was drafted on the basis of an agreement involving national parliaments and the european parliament and government representatives . 
up to the treaty of amsterdam in 1997 , europe is an super trade union intergovernmental . 
the edd group voted against the report gil delgado on increased cooperation . 
it manifesto because the concept of a union intolerably monolithic , where all the cooperation should be expressed inside the ' single institutional framework ' , and where they would all be directed towards the goal of the superstate . 
we therefore need to avoid to slow down the road to the whole and thus allow some member states to forge ahead with the mechanism of closer cooperation . 
structures operational single-market have always been a success for the early 1990s . 
. ( nl ) cooperation at european level can be useful to counteracting cross-border problems . 
these areas could be a fantastic laboratory for sustainable development . 
the technocrats , european judges and wanted that delete " the granting of seas ' which feeds into our common resources of the french overseas departments and in particular protects our craftsmen . 
however , france has had overseas territories in the indian ocean and in the caribbean . 
its independence will be an essential factor in its credibility . 
our vote was therefore clarify the role and composition of the future european monopolies , while also assuring our demands regarding the financing and its independence . 
secondly , the european agency to be completely independent . 
we must take account of the type of farming practice and agro-industrial and problems of imports of goods eating and in the composition of the ingredients of feedingstuffs and the maximum levels of dioxins and residues of pesticides , components eating and others , by giving priority to food safety . 
we voted for amendment no 3 because we are greatly concerned with the defence of europe 's cultural heritage connected with local food production . 
there is room in almost no category . 
we should also like to inscribe 50 % of the budget line and put 50 % in reserve . 
i note here that there are other proposals are designed to reduce the budget . 
report ( a5-0300 / 2000 ) by mrs haug , on behalf of the committee on budgets on draft general budget of the european union for the 2001 section iii - commission ( c5-0300 / 2000 - 1999 / 2190 ( bud ) ) 
madam president , i would like appear signatory of certain amendments to this report . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
the real sting in the budget relates to external expenditure where dominates selfishness and small-mindedness . 
other resources could be made available by means of the flexibility instrument . 
i voted against the haug report , similarly , i voted in favour of my group 's motion for rejection of the general budget for 2001 . 
we refer in particular of the new pilot project which will fund the effects of information in the course of combating paedophilia . 
this shows , if i may say so , the lack of motivation created by the european project , even amongst the citizens politically active . 
20-30 % of the market will once again being offered to competition privatized . 
since this is not guaranteed in the report , i voted against the report . 
if we combines the low unacceptable limits nationally , which décime premiums , with the proposed cuts quantities of withdrawal , 50.5 % for the citrus fruit and 8.5 % for the apples and pears and the 10 % for the rest of fruit and vegetables on the volume exhortation to the market - you can see that , in large quantities of processed products based on fruit and vegetables , there will be a satisfactory outcome for distribution . this would be outcome overall lower prices , the putréfaction products in the fields and in installations of conditioning cooperatives , thereby forcing farmers to déterrer what they have ecology . 
i voted for this report because it meets the expectations of organisations portuguese sector horticulture and fighting for a change draconian of the com in fruit and horticultural products taken profoundly damaging for national interests . 
report johan van hecke ( a5-0296 / 2000 ) 
it is also rooted in the sacrifice of all , and for all that , even in the quality of environmental and climate , on the altar of capitalist exploitation of resources and profit-enhancement disproportionate . 
the richest countries had decided at kyoto to cater for cleaning up their own atmosphere , even if it they were also like to limits so strict , to put on their own catalogue of results reductions in emissions they are helping to achieve elsewhere . 
. combat the greenhouse effect is of great importance for the industrialised countries , including a duty towards the nations of the third world who are paying back in their lives implications of global warming . 
the way to succeed is to be there to wisely . 
we also need to protect and enhance the effort oriented towards the detectability of substances suspected of our fellow abandoning endocrine disrupters - perhaps in a legal framework . 
consumers and small and medium-sized enterprises are missing out yet at the internal market , which the introduction of euro dedicates completion . 
furthermore , they have so far obliged the banks to communicate cross-border payments of over eur 12 500 to their national bank for the purpose of statistics in the balance of payments . 
these companies will obviously need to satisfy the needs of the identical in matters of safety and laundering . 
we even cognisance of situations where transaction costs for cross-border payments rose after the introduction of the euro , due to an extent non-negligible . 
the european central bank could contribute by imposing a formula for transfer standardised for payments at european level , and that with the introduction of a uniform standard for the numbering of financial accounts in the international system iban . 
it is important that consumers acceptance of the euro . 
madam president , the report by mrs peijs , relating to payments of detail in the internal market , recapitulates the old demand by the european parliament on the high cost of cross-border transfers within the european union . 
the peijs report on says in recital of the draft resolution and i quote : ' the high costs related to cross-border credit transfers undermine consumer confidence in the euro ' . 
we therefore have a lot to do here , but on this issue , resources and means of polices are more limited than we can do about this issue of payments in detail in the internal market . 
the market of the euro is seen as an area interior and people do not understand why , in this area , where the risks inherent in exchange are void and where electronic payments , especially the bank transactions via the internet , are increasingly currents and a transfer from munich and salzburg costs much more than a transfer from munich and kiel . 
this objective will require further and to you and to us and for many years of work . 
we will use sauce for the opportunity to consider the shorter time implementational cross-border payments as the report by mrs peijs entreat . 
the debate is closed . 
it seems a good policy to favour a pragmatic approach and local facilities , which places entrepreneurship at the heart of device , rather than a proposal which , disguised as to avoid the topping up and would serve only to produce more accurate statistics whose use practical is quite impossible . 
specifically , i have three comments with regard to this programme . 
let us remember that the first action programme in this area was adopted in 1983 , in other words , there is seventeen year-olds . 
furthermore , i have always sought to achieve these objectives through an effective political and pragmatic . 
i would say that they are real economic and commandos were to blame for innovation and situated on the front line and extremely vulnerable to risks inherent in this area . 
we will have to take into account the results of the work of the symposium ' science and governance ' held last week in brussels , under the aegis of the centre of foresight technological seville and follow-up of this meeting , because there are many interfering with the subject we are debating today . 
the rapporteur detail a number of priorities that will strengthen the spirit of european works . 
it is good for the image of europe because we can help the people of prompt and proper , expertly . 
mr president , i too wish to associate myself with thanks for the excellent work done by mrs montfort . 
the important thing is to strike a balance , to prevent people have already continuously at the expense of others . 
it is not fair , and i support this report . 
that is the guiding principle of a charter for small businesses . 
the programme will ensure that networks provide this information . 
it is clear that the main purpose of this plan is to put a stop emigration towards the countries of the european union and also to repatriate people who live illegally in the union . 
i emphasise , in particular the need for implementation of measures to improve internal security and strengthening dialogue between europe and the regional authorities to albania and , in relation to the commission and the council and the promotion of that particular actions in cooperation with the albanian authorities , italy and greece . 
the absence of reports social , economic and political , combined with the lack of safety and to organised crime coming out of the flow of migration mass . 
mr president , unlike my colleague mrs pack , i think is more than there are any groups who was will hold of albania , the better . 
it is clearly not possible to find an immediate solution to the issue as a whole , but in a slightly longer term , the aim is to create a world of fairness and good reason , it gives to the human safety and capacities of the future . 
there is a gulf between , on the one hand , donors , in other words , we all , europe and the united states , which donate money , which we should draw up proposals , and , secondly , the people working in this area . 
let us therefore bilateral agreements , which , quite rightly , clear and définiront work and the length of stay , the place of residence , remuneration and the hours and working conditions and social security , so that the immigrants and become a force that will depend economies of countries and help to friendship and cooperation between peoples and not to cultivation of , aspirations nationalists and worthy of the cold war . 
the men and women are re-exported though they were more or less well-established . 
priority must be given to ways of reducing influx of migrants or of refugees , but on how to improve the living conditions of the region so that people do not have to leave their homes . 
mr president , i too believe , as has rightly said marialiese dimitrakopoulos , which are still at the heart of what is the difficulty of albania - economic , social and internal security - the question we can help to restore the rule of law and to give security to its citizens and to restore the authority of its institutions and their local administrations . 
i agree with mr liese , and that we need to establish an equal distribution of the policy on asylum and refugee policy . 
the action plan for albania has been adopted in june this year , and it is therefore a sixth of its kind . 
there is , in the people , frustration diffuse , but also a self-knowledge of community law , we would like to ask this parliament and the other community institutions which will not shrink from small business cumbersome and to work with precision , to spare time and staff required for the performance of the tasks . 
in this report , we want to show people that we take seriously their claims related to the wishy-washy quality of legislation as well as those relating to regionalisation and to centralization excessive . 
the issue addressed is of course important , even if the small number of members present to debate it does not necessarily mean mudflats at first sight . 
in addition - and this is an essential point , the report raises the question of subsidiarity , which , tonight , raises the problem here . 
it would also be interesting to make a state of law and in the light of this principle , and making it simpler and more transparent and more efficient and more relevant to the débarrassant texts redundant , as the report calls on the paragraph 6 of the report . 
after studying the report very carefully and i have come to the conclusion that it does not even of a political principle on the principle theology . 
we therefore need to ensure recognising the principle of subsidiarity to the most minor communities and the realities self-sufficient , of training intermediaries , the memberships social - to the families and their citizens who are the only real sovereign for the work legislative and administrative . 
so i will give you a brief overview of the situation . 
i give the floor to commissioner . 
is an area where we should move towards full regulation , with a guarantee that it will be implemented in all areas or should be developed into a voluntary agreement , provided that it can be implemented and controlled ? 
. ( de ) i voted in favour of it , even if some of my amendments were not adopted , it is because it is also elaborates on the matter of high costs of exchange and to transfer to the euro zone . 
when , in some fifteen months , the same coins and notes will be introduced in eleven member states , there cost more money to buy the new currency outside the country in which we live . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i would like to begin by saying that i regret that the commissioner for fisheries , mr fischler , cannot be with us today . 
it should encourage cooperation in fisheries and the moroccan fisheries sector and simultaneously satisfy fully the fishing interests of the european fleets . 
we are therefore reached an agreement to work in the context of a responsible partnership , upon which morocco will be presenting its views at a meeting later , as you pointed out , in brussels on 30 october , i.e. monday . 
a few weeks i have myself visited algeciras , on the south coast spaniard . this is not far morocco . 
over time , we have seen what they were not only difficult but also that they could become impossible . 
by means of fisheries agreements and the european union can exert of fishing activities and exchanging prerogatives fishing with third countries . 
i read in a journal technical swedish fisheries how one of these vessels land it adopted in el aaiún , which is described as a port moroccan . 
all this is tested , as is the whole of our fisheries agreements and not just with morocco as there is also mauritania and shortly guinea , amongst other things , which are second-guessed . 
it took eleven months to get to the point that turning where we are now , namely the meeting on 30 and in that respect , we also know valuing these latest measures taken by commissioner fischler , the result of his journey from 26 to morocco and the meetings held in high standards , including king itself . 
but i would like to convey to the commission today fittingly symbolised by commissioner busquin , messages very brief . 
i should like to ask the commissioner is this : if we cannot reach an agreement with morocco , or if this agreement is reached in the terms reported by the commission , an agreement as to encourage the production moroccan , the commission propose to take structural measures to compensate for the delay which will happen in the regions affected ? 
as foreseen , difficulties in negotiations with the moroccan authorities have been considerable . 
finally , in the case , regrettable , that the negotiations should fail , the european union has an obligation moral and political support for fishermen and owners with support satisfactory and which are able to allocate adequate resources for themselves . 
we must reduce the over-capacity of industrial fisheries community-related . 
we therefore need to speed up close economic and political relations with morocco , while championing simultaneously the interests of our european fishermen . 
that is why the commission is working on the basis of a new partnership for an interesting development both sides with : firstly , the development intact the fishing industry morocco and the fleet , aquaculture and processing trade , research and , secondly , the allocation of fishing opportunities for european fishermen . 
rights of language lecturers 
the difference is clear , and not just german-language . 
in july 1999 , the commission has brought this infringement proceedings before the court of justice . 
therefore , at least that we shall succeed in harmonize systems , which we hope , at the moment , the principle of subsidiarity must not allow anyone to switch to a discrimination which , far more likely , is the call for an privilege . 
we can certainly agree that the previous commission , that of mr santer , was not the best is the reason why it has gone . 
in the committee on legal affairs and the internal market of the entire european union and for all parties , have met to commit the european unwieldy and discussing human rights and to recommend the adoption of charters of rights if , in the event of a very real where people are deprived of their rights , there is nothing to ensure that these rights are recognised and respected and that is the problem in this case . 
this attitude is completely unacceptable in a modern europe . 
the field of education is obviously still of subsidiarity , but in the treaties and the free movement of workers and the prohibition of discrimination that are common to all , although we - in particular me because i come from a state very fédératif - we déclarions followers of the subsidiarity principle as the principle of the order of cooperation within the european union and that we undertake to ensure that the allocation of competences between the levels in europe are classified as soon as possible on the principle of subsidiarity . 
in this context , it can no longer be any discrimination . 
you , mr president-in-office , what would you do cared for by someone who is familiar with the terms surgical in italian , english , french , german , or by a surgeon ? 
( the sitting was closed at 10h56 ) 
we are showing our deepest sympathy . 
i give the floor to mr ceyhun , who will speak as rapporteur , on behalf of the socialist group . 
with regard to the statements by the council and the committee on the third asiaeurope meeting , the council has informed us that it does not wish to speak at the moment . 
therefore , something which , according to the treaty and the euratom treaty that is the responsibility of the commission ; it concerns , or can apply , many citizens who are not only spaniards and there are , in that area and in that region , without there being any contingency plans , hundreds of thousands of european community of fifteen countries of the european union , and there is no mention of many people who live outside to exploit the costa del soil . 
madam president , it is a sad , although very revealing , to hear the interior minister of spain , mr mayor oreja and say that there is no sense in talking to the basque nationalist that , even if a new cease-fire was stated in the future . 
may i ask that we look at this week a commission statement on the british government 's decision to introduce a tax discriminatory for hauliers no british . 
given that the parties , as we do liberals and even europeans are tending increasingly to form an alliance with the forces of inspiration xenophobic and racist and arbitrary , i think it would be a serious hazard to italy but also a sign of something which affects the whole of europe . 
in my report , however , in severe criticism of the french proposal . 
these applications are expressed in amendments nos 2 and 4 of the karamanou report . 
the initiative by the french presidency that we are considering today is aimed at improving both treaties general legal assistance in criminal matters , which i have already mentioned - is in the field of fighting money laundering . 
it is fair to say that if the plan to combat money laundering has suffered a loss , it is not up to parliament , but of the council . 
we can only congratulate them on their work . 
naturally , the way forward , as stated by mr marinho , i can agree - is communitisation . 
all those who have spoken have agreed that there was a very good thing , and we support the content . 
what we want is that europol should operate across borders . 
these are facts that are too often in our europe of today and , before i give my support to the mutual recognition makeshift , i should like to see the mutual recognition of standards equitable . 
i realise that this will be difficult for us to build onwards of instruments sprayed . 
but it is also a need to intensify the economic aspects of the european union and this is the desire for citizens and that must be taken into account for the citizens of the european union have a right to security . 
in the european union , we must fight tenaciously combating money laundering , to be aware that we need a political cooperation and effective legal between member states , as effective as possible , particularly since the creation of the single market and the liberalization of capital markets and financial services . 
the council financially , there is nothing to suggest that advocate not exercising its profession itself . 
similarly , i would like to say that i am aware of the finesse from the point raised by various members of the conditions under which the confidentiality of the legal profession could provide a firm no grounds for judicial cooperation to combat money laundering . 
it is particularly true with regard to serious crimes and the most serious crimes of the cross-border . 
as a whole , the mission is so great and important it cannot be supported by the council alone . 
it follows that we need to strengthen the rights of citizens through an effective instrument and recognise the competence of the court of justice , particularly as regards its right to interpretation , and in its power to decide whether or not . 
therefore , although i am in favour of strengthening cooperation and coordination , i think that making this a legislative system would be wrong , and we are opposerions . 
the second point is also interesting . 
this is a welcome initiative , and it is to be welcomed that she receives such support in this house . 
i shall take this opportunity , as several speakers raised some very difficult questions - to say quite openly , as has just said carlos coelho and that this initiative is mainly as a first step which demonstrates the political will of the council of recovering the delay in existence on judicial cooperation , with regard to police cooperation . 
and that is why i think this is also an important instrument to guarantee that judicial control of europol . 
the action fair on the research activities in the field of agriculture and fisheries were brought under the fourth framework programme which has taken by from 1994 to 1998 . 
given the importance of the research programme for agriculture and fisheries , it is regrettable that the commission 's list a few problems in the organisation of the programme . 
the report by the court of auditors of the programme fair and led to the rapporteur 's report , it was published that in march this year even though the letters of branch of the audit had originally submitted by the commission in december 1998 and february 1999 . 
i would like , on behalf of the committee on fisheries , and highlight certain points . 
you have emphasized , which i thank you , spirit behind this report through dialogue with the court of auditors and the commission services and the interest which you have carried out . 
this shows that the commission has not been inactivates . and it is responding to comments you have put forward . 
turning to the question which mrs morgan asked concerning the recovery of sums . 
thank you , commissioner . 
the price will be delivered to the association is basta ya it during the part-session in december . 
i am firmly convinced that it also means , even if some heads of state and government should refuse to admit it , the opening of the constitutional process so often and if obstinément requested by this parliament . 
i am particularly pleased to be standing here today to discuss in detail of this wonderful plan that is the charter of fundamental rights of the european union , before you will have the final position of parliament on this text . 
i did , in my view , no doubt that this occasion . 
however , certain criticisms have been made regarding the content of the charter . 
i think it is something of a european point of view , important and i congratulate him . 
it was a great success for parliament , and the groups have done front on this point , which is something positive - and we have in sixteen members represent the european parliament in the convention . 
i believe that this charter is the big picture and that it may be , as the titrait a major european newspaper on 26 september the visiting card of europe . 
my group will therefore continues to believe that it is absolutely vital to include a reference to the charter in article 6 ( 2 ) of the treaty . 
many had whoever pensèrent that europe owned and the opportunity to get out of the single free-trade area and the european rut liberal-minded to lay the foundations of a citizens ' europe . 
at the nice summit in december , civil society has decided to take action to make its voice heard and proclaimed its desire for a charter affording proper safeguards for the citizens of europe . 
in that process , regardless of the signatures , it is essential that all countries and all political forces assaulting an effective use and the mirroring everyday . the charter is not cannot be amended . 
then weep or are pretend to be happy , celebrate this great event which are by no means least one important event vacuum . 
the convention has succeeded in his excellent work . 
that is both a people 's rights and citizens ' rights , but also social rights . 
the right to good administration , which was also mentioned cecilia malmström and is one of the most significant progress . 
how much blair will push for his meute freedom to express an opinion on this project brilliant , i have no idea , because i did not even heard . 
last time , you spoke of the half-empty glass of water or half full . 
but the council in cologne , aided by the european parliament , which has played in terribly good shape its role as semeur of confusion and has ended up forget to everyone that this is something of a european responsibility of national parliaments and that they are taking place stealing from shifts progressive . 
when it comes to protecting fundamental rights , stuck may be just as dangerous as a insufficiency ! 
when one hears the speeches made by some members , we realise that this information is more important than ever . 
the big question divides us is : what is the point that charter . 
we will certainly in favour of the charter , but with a feeling that that will not to mobilise the enthusiasm and commitment needed both citizens focusing on europe . familiar , governments - and some more than others , on will assume responsibility historic . 
according to the co-rapporteur , mr duff , it is a very major step towards improving the quality of european integration . 
for those who will feel the need , i recommend that you read the explanations contained in the convention 49 , and in taking advantage of the law of the two tribunals which relate to the charter . 
mr president , i have long been in doubt . 
for the first time since the creation of the european union , we have the bases of a constitution , a constitution for a supranational structure that is the european union . 
the demonstration was a call for a social and democratic europe , a europe of citizens . 
the draft charter can be used to provisionally , for the parties , unions and the environmental organisations , churches and many other groupings of member states of the european union and candidate countries , such as an interesting discussion paper on the future of cooperation between the peoples of europe . 
i would like to focus on three points already raised this morning . 
the charter to be adopted today will increase and will highlight the values and fundamental rights shared on which our community is built . 
i also say , of course , for all those who wish to include , in article 6 , a reference to the charter and incorporate it later in the treaties . 
let us remind ourselves of the case of bernard connolly , whose paper criticism of the commission has been suspended by the court of first instance . 
this synthesis is important , now that the european union is required to establish the legal status , in terms of rights and responsibilities , nationals of third countries that are legally in the european union . 
i , personally , just like him , convinced , on the one hand , it consequences will uniform next-door and , secondly , she would constraining shortly . 
i have heard , during this debate , some formulae potent : the charter would be a bones of the dog - the dog coming from the european parliament - or indeed the cache-sexe renunciations of a french presidency moribonde , especially in its behaviour of the igc . 
that is why prompted parliament to propose the establishment of a forum euro-turc , uniting in in-depth examination representatives designation of the turkish community and we meps who have received a mandate . 
unanimity do not mean we are all grateful for democracy in turkey and the way in which turkey meets the human rights : we are not . 
against that background , i know of course that the candidacy of turkey continues to give cause for great concern . 
the wish of the presidency is that this will be adopted quickly , if possible actual immediately on 20 november , for the forthcoming general affairs council and , as i have said , compliance with the decisions crystal-clear taken in helsinki . 
there are , nonetheless , as the commission stated very clearly stated in its progress report - that turkey must , as all the other candidate countries , meet the copenhagen criteria as part of the convergence process . 
in his speech last month before the turkish parliament and the president sezer has explained very clearly why turkey has no alternative to the efforts to reform . 
thank you for your attention . 
here too , there were some signs slightly positive . 
we résisterons to attempts , sometimes misleading , of disturb the balance that the report has been achieved in , and we résisterons in particular to amendments which seek to make the european parliament a tribunal to judge the past . 
that is obvious neat , as it is clear that turkey should , as in any civilised society , accustom themselves to the idea of dealing with its past and also horrible that it has been . 
the accession of turkey on this basis , and not because of considerations of us geostrategic or nato - would be a gain for the european union and a significant step towards unification of europe . 
oublie-t-on only a small part of turkey 's territory is only part of the european continent ? 
we are therefore voting against this report , as we have voted against all the reports which aims to include turkey in the european union . 
the greatest damage would be arousing in turkey expectations which cannot be satisfied owing to the political situation . 
report ( a5-0310 / 2000 ) by mrs langenhagen , on behalf of the committee on budgetary control , on the special report no 19 / 1999 by the court of auditors on the research activities in the field of agriculture and fisheries - program fair ( fisheries , agriculture and agro-industrial research ) - accompanied answers from the commission ( c5-0227 / 2000 - 2000 / 2133 ( cos ) ) 
i welcome this report and i will vote for it . 
instead of drawing the human rights and social rights upwards , it will facilitate transactions aimed at the firing downwards . 
it is not the slightest doubt that there is a its ultimate aim is to serve as a prelude to a future european constitution which in turn , will form the crowning achievement of the progress of the eu to the federalization where henceforth institutionalised , decisions are taken by a number powerful to be applied to all . the main objective is to serve the interests of big business monopolies in the european union against the interests of workers and , more generally , the people . 
a classic case is described in article 2-2 ' who could be sentenced to death and executed ' . 
anywhere there can be said that , despite our requests and that the family forms of a man and a woman who have children , and that it is a fundamental unit of society . 
as far as the judges have not been elected , this represents a step backwards in terms of democratic government . 
of course , it would have wished directly integrated into our treaties . 
however , i have abstained in the final vote , because i think that certain social rights are formulated in one way or candid and economic rights . 
the original idea of the convention was to have a text consensual which allowed the fifteen governments of the tightening curtailed by being incorporated into the treaties . 
in fact , the fight against social exclusion is reléguée as one of the assistance , instead of making the point of elementary rights binding for employers and the member states . 
i personally am convinced that secularism is of value émancipatrice and timely . 
there is also an obligation social related to ownership . 
it is clear that this document is not meant to be legally binding , as it does not constitute a legal text . 
some members of the irish government has raised , recently , on issues as to whether brussels threatened the identity irish and mr ahern , while claiming that membership for ireland to the eu was essential to prosperity and our economic success and is strongly opposed to any movement rapidly towards a europe more federal - centralist - because that would go far beyond what the majority of europeans wish or are willing to accept at this time . 
guess which the european emporta ? 
i record in passing that during this part-session , seven reports altogether stem from national initiatives proving that the system , where there is , is really very productive . 
these measures pro-active are absolutely necessary to combat this phenomenon , which has continued to grow and that it will internationaliser . 
through this initiative , the french presidency is proposing the adoption of a framework decision for the approximation of laws and procedures in criminal matters on money laundering ( for example , tracing , freezing and confiscation of funds ) . 
all the member states should deal with money-laundering as murder passible with a minimum of four years ' imprisonment . 
as money laundering is immense at international level , it is obvious that europol should be given the power to combat terrorism and to draw up a european strategy for police and judicial cooperation . 
i welcome the report by mrs roure on a new initiative from the french presidency , with a view on this occasion , to improve judicial cooperation in order to ensure that no coral bottom line is the extradition of criminals suspected of having money-laundering and other offences involving intercede of financial crime . 
madam president , this is the only report on which i voted harshly . 
that is the first eu country casting a bridge over the geography schism that separates us from asia , and one more traditional to predominantly muslim . 
that is especially true when we are engaging in number stiffening of resources from the eib and do so without cover utterly the economic risks which we take . 
in this context , i would highlight the main conclusion of paragraph 22 , which states that turkey does not fulfil the copenhagen criteria and to underline the many condemnations practices and shortcomings , which turkey has been discussed in the field of human rights and democratic freedoms in turkey 's behaviour ally , together with the recommendations of conform to european values relating to the european parliament has extended to the country . 
we are concerned , mr president , not to hear , today , such encouragement from the scientists turks and of the turkish press , but probably did tentative reaction . 
eleven years after the berlin wall , nicosia is the only capital in europe which is still divided . 
the progress pre-requirements have not been made in the inadmissible sufficient and turkey must continue its efforts . 
mr president , mr president-in-office , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , it is in my capacity as draftsman of the accession of cyprus , i would like to speak in this debate . 
mr president , we are not able to vote on the morillon report , because we are convinced that , contrary to what it stands and ensure that a large number of people who expect , turkey too , accession is not going to improve the lives of people . 
but i am at the same time , that we do not painted a table too black about this . 
so there is a relationship internally . 
conferences in marseilles euro-mediterranean 
mr brok , who has rejoined and had been wondering pointedly about the delay occurred in the negotiations . 
we europeans being something to be respected . 
indeed , it is not only , as in 1995 , to restore a balance with the east of europe , it is also necessary to prepare for the future enlargement of the european union . 
xenophobia and state terrorism or other forms of terrorism are also in this area and i hope we will also have the possibility of having put it right . 
that is something we have , unfortunately , we live with . 
but once again , we should be francs . 
all this shows awareness of the european inadaptation achieved so far , while the answers are not yet , in my view , commensurate with the situation , and although we must recognise that five years , it is not so much for processes such complex . 
i therefore believe that this debate here today could be used to make us aware of the central importance of this policy for the whole union . 
it is not that competition between all these demands that we are concerned , but they are fund new and we must decide . 
the spiral of violence in the middle east , the war waged by violence and resolutely against the palestinian people , whose israel continues to refuse its right to a state , threaten the future of the whole region . 
mr president , like the european union must find , nice and the balance between deepening and widening and it should be taken , in marseilles , a balanced relationship between the functions and central european responsibility mediterranean . 
however , the thrust of the track record that there is painting in the fiftieth anniversary of the barcelona process is that we can see ourselves satisfied with merely continuity in the process and the fact that there has been ministerial meetings with the participation of representatives of israel and of the palestinian authority and to syria , lebanon , etc. this is perhaps a scant consolation . 
the problems inherent in the mediterranean region have numerous : illegal immigration , poverty and foreign debt , human rights , drought and terrorism , which destroys ruthlessly life in human beings and to families innocent , as we are living tragically in spain in algeria and in the middle east . 
we are prepared to the imagined , but the southern countries require other things , and that is good or a speech : it is our job to give it to them . 
europe has made no policy on desertification or water in the mediterranean countries ; we should initiate a specific policy environmentally mediterranean which would parameters , the logical and even the diversity of the climate in the mediterranean . 
the proposals currently before us today are far more balanced . 
i turn now to the agency in kosovo . 
we cannot disappoint them and are now more than ever , they need our help . 
in conclusion , let me repeat the words of the commission - and i would say that both proposals are the cornerstone of a process which will help these countries , who have suffered and there is still , to be able to fully participating in the european structures . 
in future , we must add the responsibility to a smaller number - to a head again , if you like , if someone is accepting the real responsibility towards the body which will be selecting the various programmes . 
i therefore thank everyone who has estimated that this objective is important and i am pleased that in future , we can strengthen this area - in terms of content , within these countries . 
i read in communications on the elections in bosnia and it nationalist extremists have won the elections in bosnia-herzegovina . 
the european union , as you know - has engaged in a determined to contribute to the historical changes . 
a study of the reports westendorp and lagendijk on proposals for regulations , one in the framework and , later , to the european agency for reconstruction is an opportunity to return to the extent of the support of the european union intends to grant the western balkans , in order to accompany the stabilisation and association . 
the win long-overdue of democracy in croatia , followed by federal republic of yugoslavia , notable and we know , at the european union to go much further . 
question time ( council ) 
as they deal with , i have the following questions nos 2 and 3 . 
a further period of four months has just been given to those parts , which is resolving 1324 - to try to make progress on both fronts . 
i would like to question the state of the association agreement with morocco . 
the stability and development caucasian represent one of the strategic priorities for the european union . 
with regard to the discussions with turkey , we are coping with a very important debate on this issue and you know very well the views of the european union on this point . 
i would just like that molterer emphasises that the legislative measures proposed are those who exploit and profit from people who are in desperate situations and was not intended to criminalise immigrants more or migrants potential . 
both the laws that actions aimed at increasing the debate and to increase the awareness of must . 
i think we should actually barring these crimes in every way and absolutely every means and shows me that neither the council of the european union that is the united nations general assembly and , in my view , the turkish government , are prepared to do so . 
that is because the other 14 member désapprouvaient they have done something . 
let me take one example : if tomorrow in austria , france - and here i am speaking as minister - came to power a party right-wing , i would like to be taken against my own country steps the types of which have been taken against austria . 
personally , i wanted to talk about values : i have spoken of values as they are included in our text , i have spoken of values as they stand réaffirmées on the charter of fundamental rights and spoke in particular , it is true - in the fight against all forms of discrimination , which is enshrined in the frontispice for european texts . that is what we must uphold . 
i would remind you that this political dialogue is , in addition to the new partnership for accession , one part of the pre-accession strategy for turkey clarified at that time . 
question no 12 by ( h-0850 / 00 ) : 
that is what we are working and by the ligne-là and in any other than we are committed . 
then we need to recognise that the moroccan side has not responded to supply community-related . 
these are people in scotland where , after 110 days of detention and people who are accused of having committed a crime should be judged to be either be released and has never been accused of this crime . 
concrete steps have been taken security of supply and energy efficiency ) to make savings member-state less responsive to external crisis ? what instruments and the council 's priorities in the short and medium and long term , in terms of energy efficiency and energy savings ? 
the position of the european union on measures extra-territorial practice by the united states has not changed . 
finally , i pointed out that the european union took note with concern of the observations made up of the agencies and of the united nations programmes and so deplored the negative effects and often distressing to the economic embargo us for the people of cuba . 
the council does not central that there is a political problem par excellence and that it is unacceptable that we held in equal distance from the victim of and a bully . 
firstly , the office is in line with the commission 's decision to decentralise ; on the other hand , it is particularly successful management in the work that he does . 
it does not recognize borders , and we must combat the illegal activities transborder , either in the field of drug trafficking and of cross-border cooperation or on trafficking in human beings . 
i would like to see commissioner patten , who has a lot of experience , not to say wisdom - in curing international crises , and which , furthermore , visited different regions of the balkan peninsula , could honour the headquarters of the european reconstruction agency in thessaloniki , to see how does the service . 
but this region and the region 's most haunted by europe and has never been so full of hope that today . 
but let me begin by thanking parliament for the excellent quality and speed up its work in the handling of these two draft regulations . 
we also achieved a quick result in serbia , where the commission has put in place , in the space of four weeks alone , a programme of emergency aid of a total of eur 200 million . 
of course , we can also accept amendment placating that the guidelines adopted in the future by the commission reflect this same search for greater efficiency behind our reforms . 
i hope that parliament understands the importance of the proposals that i presented in may and it will continue to work constructively with the other on this very difficult . however , i cannot give my support for parliament 's amendment to delete the requirement of unanimity , because that would run counter to the opinion of the college . 
the challenge of this third summit held in seoul was to deepen the asem process both for the employment of governments and the general public . 
as regards the area " interpersonnel ' ( people-to-people ) , the principle of openness of the asem process to a much larger section of civil society was maintained , although ngo initiatives aimed at establishing a social forum were not able to come into existence as a result of the reluctance of some asian partners . 
we are also very pleased that the summit in seoul has taken place and that all the heads of government , but one or two of them were present . 
there was even two specific proposals which were adopted , namely the round table on globalisation and the duo fellowship program , which provides for 4 300 fellowships up to 25 million dollars . 
the commission communication is limited to address the issues relating to powers corresponding to the community and the member states in the tasks deriving from participation in the rfos . 
if we are assuming that , in all the coastal states that exists in the world , there are those who benefit from the economic potential , legal and legislative and policy whereby the european union and understandably just how important it is to ask ourselves what is our responsibility . 
cfp reform will be vital , but it will be even more important to put in place the appropriate reforms . 
that applies to fish migrateurs . 
we all know that , throughout the european union and beyond . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , allow me first thank you for the support that you attach to the efforts we make to foster and strengthen the work of the community in regional fisheries organisations . 
until now , some progress has certainly already been made , but we should firstly devote ourselves to find more planned over time . 
in fact , the european continued improvements in productivity of livestock generates already growing in supply and whether there would be linked to enlarging no bounds of the apparatus of production , and we would once again , inexorably , a serious imbalance in the market . 
instead , it is much more sensible for every manufacturer of pigmeat is their own economies . every farmer in pigs its tirelire . 
it also refers to the need to encourage producers ' organisations , including the establishment differs greatly from one member state to another . 
organisations of market and how they have worked so far , has encouraged the concentration process more than they would have prevented . 
the globalization of the economy is minuted here as a trap , and this has nothing to do with the crisis cyclical . 
every farmer , wherever it may in the union , will endorsing this mechanism . 
mr president , commissioner , the rapporteur , mr garot , has dealt with seriously and clarified the commission 's proposal with a view to establishing fund designed to regulate the pigmeat sector . 
this is a matter of balance . 
and here i must say that my conclusions are different from those of my colleague mr garot . as far as the commission 's proposal , i could almost adopt it as it has been provided , however , if we want to be honest , we must recognise that it does nothing to resolve the problem . 
then there is the involvement of specialized producers of porcelets under the proposed system , such as amendments nos 7 and 13 the say . 
what does so , please , that the commission presented to us ? 
firstly , an analysis of the budgetary implementation and procedures governing was carried out for each of the financial contributions . 
in this respect , the court repeats what it says in previous years , namely that this tendency has negative consequences : decisions inept and rash and increased workload entailing a risk of mistakes and so on . 
the dramatic events that have taken place recently showed clearly that the problems of management and control pesaient increasingly heavy burden on the european agenda . 
this penalises member conscientious and reward the less dedicated . 
here i would like to say briefly that the commission prominence in its work on improving external aid , both in the direction of an institutional restructuring in this area as in the direction of a stripping closer and more quickly than before on important commitments remaining to be paid . 
now , the european parliament is in an extremely difficult situation , because he has said this year too , in january - that we can no longer accept some serious mistakes in the accounts for 1999 . 
i would like to raise some issues and i hope mr karlsson will answer my questions today . 
we need more data and further action . 
i hope that this is done even before the year so that we can begin to assess dgs . 
we all know , of course , that the commission is working on certain amendments . 
this will reduce the number of mistakes . 
the commission is therefore now resorted to the rules . 
may i begin by thanking mr karlsson for this year , cooperation with the committee on budgetary control has been much better market than in previous years . 
i crave a classifying countries and sectors most affected by mismanagement in the eu . 
madam president , i too should like to thank the court of auditors for the report and for his political assessment yesterday in the committee on budgetary control . efforts at reform and their necessity were again emphasised . 
one has to be able to read what was said by mrs van der laan , and we are all agreed on this . 
here we perhaps should be given to the president of the court decision-making power fuller about methods of the court and about how this communicates . 
the rates differ from one state to another and their composition varies from one country to another . 
in her report that are crucial to the common agricultural policy and the special report on arable crops , the court concludes that , in 1993-1997 , the community budget has paid more than 13 000 billion of more than what is reasonable . 
i do not raise questions for which it is impossible to answer . 
the court of auditors must also change its working methods . 
there may still be delighted to see something . 
this report was approved by a large majority on the environment committee in parliament , and so i will defend the result of the vote on this committee . 
my second point is the export ban , which i have just been trumpet . 
so i have reservations and am inclined to reject this provision . 
in the second or third reading , we shall need of the famous 314 votes and , as the report is now , we find it will certainly not . 
the commission recently proposed a measure , over-cautious but welcome , along those lines , that the commissioner will develop in a perhaps more when he responds . 
we agree with the rapporteur on the need to inform the consumer about the risks and that is up to the map of transparency , particularly with regard to health and safety . 
in my view it is better to have more respect for the principle of subsidiarity . 
however , i go back to a major debate that i had with my daughter elisabetta when they had nine-year and she asked me to go into any towers only in the street . 
it was necessary to ensure that we guarantee comprehensive protection of consumers , without , however , regulating certain aspects repeatedly or on a ambivalent . 
furthermore , i should like to stress the importance of the amendments of the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy , which increase transparency in relation to the end-user , since they clarify responsibilities and not just producers , but also of distributors in their possible operations to withdraw from products unsafe . 
this also means that when a new rule are established in the context of sectoral legislation , they are to take precedence over the provisions of the directive . 
many of the amendments proposed are an improvement on the original text and can therefore be accepted by the commission . 
thirdly , amendment no 4 proposes to add , in advance , a demand requires member states to produce concrete reports with the help of institutions competent and independent , whether public or private . 
although the commission is in favour of cooperation and common principles and the proposed wording goes against the principle of subsidiarity . 
any problems arising from the current wording has been drawn to the commission and the changes affaibliraient existing regulations . 
amendments nos 39 and 44 propose that information on dangerous products are made publicly available prediction is that a decision to ban or of drum was taken . they propose that the exchange of information covered by professional secrecy is not possible between supervisory authorities of the market . 
mr martelli normally , you cannot give you that at the end of voting time , but let me give you the floor exceptionally and 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 on the programme for the community strategy for equality between men and women ( 2001-2005 ) ( com ( 2000 ) 335 - c5-0386 / 2000 - 2000 / 0143 ( cns ) ) 
mr president , my question relates to the order of voting on amendments with regard to paragraph 10 , i.e. the armenian genocide . 
( parliament adopted the legislative resolution ) 
liability is twofold : there is one of the governments of the eu countries , but also that of the governments of the mediterranean partners . 
this aid is more than justified by the scale of this tragedy . 
the prohibition of night work for women was one of the few areas in which social legislation in some countries , in order to protect women , were a little more ahead for the workers and workers . 
i very much hope that in future , the commission will submit an annual basis and in good time stock permitting parliament to carry out an analysis and a debate in more depth . 
it is therefore with some regret that i voted against this proposal . 
it is important for our products are safe , but we do not want to go beyond the bounds suddenly schemes extremes . 
today , the agency for kosovo is ruled by a council of direction in which the member states ' representatives and the commission have any one of a vote , and where decisions are taken by a two-thirds majority . 
for serbia , the problem to solve kosovo is . 
the danish social democrats have voted against the report aimed at introducing a system of support for the benefit of producers of pork within the eu . 
if only , as everyone knows , albeit with some opening up of the french presidency and the commission cannot accept these amendments , and it does not appear to be a majority of the council to agree to them . 
a variation minimal of supply is sufficient to cause a crisis situation . 
mr president , the armenian genocide was the first in a series during this century that is one of the century genocide . 
sweden is not prepared to take part in a common defence , but rather to measures to untreated civil crisis management , we cannot support paragraph 15 , with people ' welcomes the desire for turkey to contribute to improving capabilities européennes under the common european policy on security and defence . ' 
but apart from the duty to remember that we must demand that any democracy , and we europeans know just how it is difficult and painful , so difficult for certain european countries did not complete , it is important that such acts of barbarism which destroy lives motives for ethnic and religious or cultural and afflicting the universal conscience cannot be committed in the future . 
that is , of course , another discussion as of today but , on behalf of the european importance i attach to turkey , i wanted to say it again today . 
peace is possible because the people are not hindered from exercising their right to self-determination . 
i voted for amendments calling for the recognition , today , in pursuing this testimony to recognise the pain of a people . 
it took place at the time of the ottoman empire . 
not only the jové peres report seeks to systematic this situation to an existing regional organisations and those that are being set up , but he wants the stiffen putting an end to the fact that the commission to call upon the support of technicians from different member states . 
my remarks are of course to the issue we are discussing today is the representation of the european community in regional fisheries organisations , but it also applies equally to the negotiations for example in connection with the wto . 
my suggestion to bring them together was then given by mr trittin and president-inoffice of the time , codecided by the european commission , so that parliament 's decision to merge three directives has not hindered by a great deal of opposition . 
one example : pvc is 0.7 % of the total volume of waste incinerated . 
i would like to conclude , mr president , by saying that the ppe / de group is pleased with the work that has gone over a third reading . 
mr president , i would also like to thank mr blokland for his work on this important issue . 
incinerated is not recycle . 
mr blokland 's report now at third reading was for a number of members elected to the first time for the environment committee 's first test in greatness nature entitling of teaching practices parliamentarians . 
fresh emission limits , stricter and were introduced for the new cement kilns poured into co-incineration , as mentioned by mrs evans . 
whatever the various national situations , we can see , in all the states of the european union , decreased fairly general of the cover-up obligatory and an increased role for systems so-called sickness insurance complementary and increasing factors discriminants . 
this would be a more of a proposal for a directive on the following : the ban on the use of information nominative caused by genetic research , a key point : the lack check-ups health prior to the products and the establishment of an obligation to guarantee viagère by the insurer , taking account co-ordinated compensation for people who work and travel within the european union and , finally , the establishment of a mechanism to mediate . 
we are taking a stance increasingly positive about the health care , cross-border and operation of the market is therefore becoming increasingly applicable to health care . 
the united states , for example , we are often used ' as a model ' in terms of economic liberalism . instead , it would be a fatal error to see to it template for health policy . 
we cannot allow the eu should draw up rules , for example , intelligence therapeutical or imposed on everyone 's obligation to be policyholder . that would ruin the differences between systems sickness insurance follow-on that exist today in many countries which are working on the basis of principles actuariels . 
he was subsequently that there was nevertheless a means of being admitted . 
it affects the health of all citizens of our member states and the cohesion of our land . 
it is not by chance that i am faced with these problems in the context dutchman . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , mr rocard asks the commission to specify in the green paper the hallmarks of a guaranteed basic within the framework sickness insurance regulations . 
it is a matter of priority . 
mr president , anyone who , as we are being spent throughout their lives to be decided on social issues remember all older manuals fixed generally social protection as a whole package of measures for the protection of national covering risks economically assessed and that is individual or a household and which individuals - the core family - could not cope themselves . 
so this means that an important point to the causes of the failure of medical assistance state-owned is needed . 
sickness insurance follow-on presupposes a legal system of rights and performance . 
in seeking to eliminate discrimination on grounds of antecedents medical and mr rocard has killed the creep bucks . 
the commission to act immediately in the context of its powers , and i shall try to deal with the conclusions of your report . 
i also hope that the proposals to recognise the particular importance to qualifications and integration into working life will be adopted , because we must take account of this phenomenon and more social exclusion and poverty people doing nonetheless a career paid . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the committee also wants to congratulate the rapporteur for his explanation . 
the next item is the commission 's recommendations for the council 's view of the updated stability programmes in germany , finland and the netherlands . 
this has led us to think differently and to ask whether the stability pact for stability and growth has been dealt with in achieving the objective quantitatively numbers final determined , or whether it is necessary to introduce other aspects relating to the quality of public finances in future programmes . 
our basic message is , therefore , that the margin which aims to tax reductions must go hand in hand with a tight control of expenditure . 
i believe that overall , we can assume that it is a positive effect . 
they obtain the risk of overheating in one of the largest country in europe , which is also a major country in the european economy , namely germany . 
mr president , i would like to thank mr della vedova . 
i think it is on these two issues , on events in the fight against bse in europe and on developments in france , as you suggest we hear today . 
it is suggested that the european commission and to our partners in the european union to prepare and extending eu-wide testing , depending on préconisations scientists . 
thus , effectiveness and independence and transparency are the key principles guidant clearly appraisal of the risk food in europe . 
i will return to this later . 
however , it is vital that these tests are carried out at a much bigger scale . 
the monitoring measures active , including the random testing and are in progress in order to avoid cases of bse to enter the food chain . 
at the same things facing us , it is still trying to turn towards a solution delightful , a solution that can both eliminate risks and restoring confidence . 
i call on the member states if they are afraid that the inadequacies in carrying out checks , weaknesses which would run counter to the community legislation in this area , are a factor explaining the increase of today 's incidence of bse . 
however , there must be possible to combine both swifter action and credibility . 
it is up to you in the finalize quickly . 
this is a requirement capital , especially in relation to this problem toll of bse . 
our group calls for an immediate ban on meal meat and bonemeal for all animals rearing , as long as the member states can guarantee the establishment of rules on the prevention of bse and the rigorous application of eu directives . 
i do not know whether this is a panacea , commissioner , but on behalf of the precautionary principle , i think that experience bids to ban right away the use of meat and bone meal in feedingstuffs of all animals rearing , including pigs , chicken and fish . 
i think that the debate which has now begun to here , which is to be found which , by the council , the commission or to the house , has been most or the least , seems somewhat superfluous . 
firstly , as others have said , is and must be applied systematic screening of all bovine animals slaughtered poured into the feeding of europe . 
showing courage and ambition and we can reconcile the interests health of europeans and the economic value of our farmers and then we can restore confidence . 
they are , i repeat , in no way responsible for the crisis , which is why the european union must show its support for them . 
i do not accept that neither the arrogance of some member states which do not practising tests , do not want to regulations . 
european solidarity should also work because our policy showed incoherence : set-aside land , meat-and-bone meal to ruminants , nitrates and pesticides . 
so i have to listen to mr gollnisch said to her group was , for leading the fight against the bse crisis . 
furthermore , we consider it appropriate to ensure that all hotbed of infection is circumscribed and that the export of meat is forbidden until they are so safe is proved . 
it is unacceptable that we accept insufficiently this priority in the area of policy . 
i am glad that we are still expansion of tests on a voluntary basis . 
but if we généralisons the screening tests , if we destroy meat-and-bone meal , if we impose stamping out of the entire herd for one sick animal , we must demand that the health regulations strictly equivalent from third countries which are our trading partners and seeking to export to the community of live animals , of carcasses and meat preparations . 
the causes of the problem is elsewhere . 
madam president , i am happy that the commission will finally be passed down very strongly in favour of screening tests generalised . because , like france has just wag : that is transpires ! 
what is to prevent us from doing so , why should we keep a crisis to which we gathered here and that we state that parliament puts public health of the highest priority ? 
the link between bse and the feeding of meat and bone meal , a very few natural to feed animals incidentally , is clear to everyone now . 
i therefore ask the commission to achieve a degree of harmonisation in this respect too . 
i would urge the commission to review utter systems in place in france for dealing with cases of bse . 
the poison us down a system that it is in apart . 
it is extremely difficult as to cohabit here for national legislation and european legislation . 
another act has been drawn up within the system to protect public health and food safety in the form of legislation which defines the ways in manufacture of animal meal . 
it was said that they would be very expensive and that they would involve many lives , and so on . 
for example , there citera technology , for the european oreiller which has caused the deaths of a immigrée in belgium and the use of sédatifs powerful in spain , the transport of migrants amassed on in the holds of vessels in italy and spain , the tragedy of 58 chinese immigrants found dead in the united kingdom in the port of dover from having been arrested on various occasions within european territory and the widespread use of different means of coercion and intimidation against immigrants deported . 
that is my commitment and i will reply to my mind . 
violence against women takes many forms : there is violence within the family , which is the crime of silence and then there is forms of sexual exploitation and trafficking in women , trafficking in human beings . 
mr president , i would say to mr nogueira that , of course , in model we have defined , monetary policy is a matter for the european central bank and the latter takes decisions in accordance with the criteria laid down in the maastricht treaty . 
mr president , i think for public opinion , it is very important to distinguish between the impact internally , and the external impact . my question is whether the commission is now before the introduction of euro notes and coins , to launch a campaign to explain to people difference between the impacts within and outside of monetary stability ? 
in the absence of specific actions of the greek government , it will continue the procedure has been initiated . 
the commission 's role is to ensure that there is a system of management and a measure . 
in a similar decision , the commission promised to be taken into account subsidy schemes in all member states and is based on the specific compatibility criteria that approved until 2004 , when will expire the validity of the permission of the french scheme of support . 
the realization of a europe which promotes the integration and under the terms of the lisbon summit , requires an effort and a overall activities . 
secondly , in order to improve take into account the experiences of stakeholders society , non-governmental organisations , local authorities and the social bodies and people who are themselves in a position to exclusion . 
many older people could confirm that , in line with those working for hours to low-wage does not providing them with a decent life - for example farm workers . 
it could also speak of large groups of people who cannot control incompletely language to obtain a job . 
in the united states with a labour market more flexible , there is a guarantee that poverty is experienced for shorter periods considerably , with a time of unemployment brief . 
in my country , approximately 75 % of people who live and work below the poverty line are women . 
then we must strive to achieve , not just on armour and that commitment . 
that allocation should be strengthened in view of developments and realism that are needed in this . 
mr president , i thank and congratulate mrs figueiredo and colleagues today absent which brought the opinions of other committees . 
as you suggest , we must also stress the importance of ngos and the regional players and local authorities , as you suggest - take greater account of their experience on the ground . 
we have already stated that the committee on social protection is meeting regularly with the contact group made up of members of parliament . 
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 proposed directive on the european parliament and the council on the promotion of electricity from renewable energy sources in the internal market in electricity [ com ( 2000 ) 279 - c5-0281 / 2000 - 2000 / 0116 ( cod ) ] . 
we need now of binding targets . 
another important point approved by the commission is the subject of connecting with , and access to the system for renewable energies . 
in particular , in my country , spain , the guidelines are responsible for emissions into the atmosphere of 225 million tonnes of co2 equivalent by 2010 and the fact that we cannot achieve the kyoto targets . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , we can only applaud the commission proposal aims to create a framework allowing for an increase substantially in the medium term of the share of electricity produced from renewable energy sources in the european union . 
but threats can always come from compatibility with the internal market . 
waste does not constitute a renewable natural resource , it produces every day increasingly . 
therefore , this directive will have a actuality unintentional . 
having said this , i strongly support this proposal . 
mr president , i would like to congratulate mrs rothe on her excellent report , which is very to pic in this week when we contend amid the climate change . 
the promotion of electricity from renewable energy sources is an objective that we should support unreservedly . 
adjustments technological hard are essential . 
instead , the proposals are being made on its own stroke and without coherently . 
and i would like to end just mention three issues that have arisen during this debate . 
furthermore , for the sake of consistency , the objectives pursued converted into national parameters must be binding because otherwise the directive lack of substance and meaningless . 
it is also the case , for similar reasons , to amendment no 3 in part , but not to amendment no 7 , which is too technicality to the text of the proposal . 
but , ladies and gentlemen , we cannot accept the parts who break with the application of the rules of the state aid . 
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 to peaceful conflict resolution [ 2000 / 2025 ( ini ) ] . 
while the peace process formal are almost exclusively designated for men and experiences and declarations assembled internationally demonstrates how participation of women is an important when it comes to solving conflicts and to build peace . 
decisions on the implementation and enforcement of humanitarian action are the responsibility of the cells of crisis , however , the responsibilities of women are experiencing scant attention and gratitude . 
they apparently want to retain their strong position in foreign policy and defence policy and believe that women 's interests may be championed by men . 
mr president , i would first like to say what the european my interest in this report , which i must say excellence and the great excellence , footsteps . 
similarly , the funding which to help women suffering from this situation must exist . 
mr president , much has already been said , i do not want to lapse into the repetition . 
mr president , commissioner , i would firstly like to congratulate mrs theorin for having taken the initiative of this excellent report , which deals with an important issue , but also topical . how the genuine participation of women in the negotiations on resolving conflicts can change the world and transforming the cultural prevalent in the european antagonism and violence in culture of peace and dialogue and of the rules democratic disputes ? 
that is why i support the demands of the report , according to which women should be given the right of influence diplomatically . 
an excellent report , groundswell , rigorous , able to set out of the fundamental principles of clarity which can be found in article 17 , adventurous but both with a great sense praxis and proposals very necessary . 
i personally condamnerais all forms of rape and all forms of slavery ! 
fifthly , the role played by echo and the agency 's humanitarian aid in the european commission , and the parliament has asked to take account of the sexospécificités . 
the problem is this : millions of people - mainly women ) carry out this work , and there is a major request but not one regularisation applicable in this area . 
i believe we must encourage member states to regulate the industry through the employment guidelines , as has already been called for in the european parliament 's opinion on this package . 
the people migrante represents an important inimical generally in that sector , which requires special measures , as reception centres specialised , who need to give further assistance . 
this is a matter for the member states . 
the need for aid domestic have been greatly increased in recent years , and this situation has hardly been covered in working life in general and with the rights and obligations part in professional life . 
( the sitting was closed at midnight ) 
( precious loud applause ) 
not only do we need to create a system inner peace and freedom , but we must also have the tallies with the customs and traditions which exist in decades within the european community and the european union . 
the first step to take to restructure the constitution of the federal state is defining a framework for a democratic dialogue as possible over relating to the type of relations between the two republics . 
the result achieved is historic . you , meps , who represent the public directly from the member states of the european union , you represent the people of europe , are the best position to understand why this mere chance of becoming members of the european union is extremely uncertain amongst the citizens of the current fry . 
include the sitting . 
it is , as you know , an extremely important matter and of great interest to the citizens and it would be the least that we can reach a decision today on the matter at voting time . 
the commission were told that it would present a detailed proposal on this matter in the six months , and it has kept our word . 
we already have at present in the european union practice governing access to documents , and we must not forget that citizens brave , many member states progressives are fighting for years for greater transparency . 
this report would still have to be refined in the european parliament and i therefore believe we shall have to make further improvements here . 
we are pleased to see in this report the important principle that we support resolutely in the committee on budgetary control . 
the opportunity piercing is now able to learn about things that are not drawn to their expertise in the media and certain interest groups so that they can be more participate in the open and democratic debate , something that is so important to ensure confidence in the eu . 
the petitions committee believes that there raccourcisse deadlines waiting before the publishing documents . 
as soon as secret will no longer be justified in the document will naturally be made available to the public . 
i would also stress that every citizen must have an assurance from having access to documents under means as much as possible . 
the dogma of political responsibility must not be confused with citizens ' rights in terms of access to documents . 
so i would like to appeal to the rapporteur to withdraw from the rules on access to documents any reference to the rights of members . furthermore , i would urge all colleagues to ensure that their interests does not take precedence over those of the public . 
in these areas , access to documents is not guaranteed , and it is refused , not only to citizens , but also in the european parliament which , moreover , is not even officially informed or concur with the documents fundamentals . 
but i am a great spearheaded by the bitterness . 
mr president , first i would like to thank mr cashman for his excellent work done as part of his report . 
this is a very important report , which represents a major part of what we might call the new principle of transparency in the european union . 
( technical problem . ) 
it is not only to encourage the principle of access limitless to all documents , but also for us to open the doors during the council meeting , so that it is not to be more in future decisions in the silence and secrecy , making it possible afterwards to others from implementing the denigrate cheap focusing on brussels . 
i would now like to bring up the work that have been on the derogations . 
our people see europe as being undemocratic , as a place where we stand decisions behind closed doors . 
in accordance with article 255 of the treaty , the proposed regulation should be adopted before 1 may 2001 , i.e. two years after the entry into force of the treaty of amsterdam . 
now let me address a few problems which , at the moment , prevent the commission to accept certain amendments . 
as i said earlier , it is , in some cases , to agree in principle , with the amendments , but we must work together on the technical and administrative , for example , regarding the amendments to the classifying documents and in the register . 
we do not have a written document and i should like , for the future too , the commission fuzzy members , in writing , its recommendations . 
welcome 
we welcome the status improved attached to the reduction of risks credit , particularly assurances that can be offered by small businesses . 
report ( a5-0321 / 2000 ) by mr blokland on the joint text , approved by the conciliation committee , for a directive on the european parliament and council on the incineration of waste [ c5-0371 / 2000 - 1999 / 0289 ( cod ) ] 
mr president , may i ask the liberal group , and i would also as a co-rapporteur and to show a little more practical ? 
postponing the vote on november ii therefore corresponds to a request to the common ppe-de and pse groups . 
i therefore propose to postpone the vote on the report villiers at november ii . 
i have followed the rules which i received from the service of the actions of the part-session , and the house has not dealt with differently . 
as president of parliament , today , i do not have to say that this ; as a fellow member , i can say that i agree with you . 
beside the negative position adopted during the first stage , when the european parliament in condemned the dangers in britain and in the second stage , when the scandal was raging in britain , measures have actually been limited to the country ; in fact be implemented a programme of direct strong controls and restructuring of stockfarming at european level . 
that is why we want to make four basic lesson , which should be taken into account in future . 
we voted in favour of this joint resolution . 
the increase in the number of cases of the variant of cjd in england and the situation in france have imposed on the agenda and more forcefully on the issue of the mad cow disease ( bse ) . 
for fear of sow panic amongst the citizens , or in an attempt to prevent disasters commercial and other governments have not conveyed timely information due to the commission or did not carry out as early as first manifestation of phenomenon unsafe and blockades doorstep of consumer products in question and to the ban on their exports . 
farmers cannot deal with this crisis alone : blueprints flanking cattle breeding is to be implemented and measures to regain consumer confidence . 
the inability of the whole of the european institutions - the council , commission and parliament - to define a common policy germane that meets the needs of security of the member states most closely affected will indeed pose problems to hierarchies between the constraints of the single market and the demands of health and safety of our peoples . 
we have achieved , after many discussions with the council , satisfaction on several counts . 
the age of tips has now to a close and these need to shift the emphasis on technologies more beneficial to the environment . 
implicate the process of social bodies , particularly those from sensitive groups within the programme . 
if we should welcome the return of the growth and lower unemployment , we must not hide the persistence and indeed the escalation and disparities . 
i share the view that the rapporteur is right when he calls for greater involvement of the public authorities and the social partners and civil society in the steps required to overcoming poverty and social exclusion . 
the ' poor workers ' , including most of them are women , employed part-time , together with precariousness and most comprehensive , share the procession of misery that the official statements on the incorporation flout magnificently . 
three years ago , prime minister has created the unity of social exclusion , which coordinates the action of the government to reduce social exclusion in producing solutions to problems identical similar circumstance . 
they are currently facilities comprising more than 60 rotors covering a acreage equivalent to thousands of terrain football . 
dependency , which is approximately 50 % for all of the european union , threatens to raised to 70 % by 2020 in the absence of any development of renewable energy sources . 
it goes without saying that the use of nuclear energy and storing radioactive waste must comply with deposits security more modern and more effective . 
we need to find a source of energy already present in nature , but which has become inexploitée as long as no one has developed technology to make it extract . 
the preparations for asem 4 is also an opportunity to reaffirm the need democratically , for example by providing information and the role of democratically elected parliament and the representatives of society , especially with the establishment of a social forum - and , secondly , taking full account social rights , environmental and human resources . 
lastly , parliament has been the victim of certain equivocal and even more critical . 
we have noted that it is with the same misadventures that the european parliament in its infancy , that it has been fighting and continued to do so in order to obtain more powers , more resources and better attendance and to vindicate its representativeness . 
parliament in central america , like the european parliament , must be prestige , in credibility and to legitimacy on the basis of the activity of the political groups , because life parties are , or at least should be , the recognisable reflection firms they represent . 
with regard to human rights , we support , since 1990 , the cooperation programmes to promote respect for human rights through training and awareness in this area . 
( b5-0855 / 2000 ) by mr van den bos , on behalf of the eldr group ; 
the extreme confusion which characterised the electoral context in recent weeks in côte d ' ivoire , but as yet economic model , is representative of a crisis-torn nations and economic crisis and social desperation and by that mayhem policy . 
political leaders , military and commemorative must do its utmost to facilitate national reconciliation . 
the nordic passport union throughout the debate on the european ivoirité . this debate fumeux which is none other than the implementation of national preference that we are fighting against our own countries , including the logical consequence and taken is the establishment of the ethnic cleansing , either totally combatted , and abducted any reference or connotations of the european ivoirité when setting up ivoirienne . 
he also supported the revision of the constitution , intended to exclude the main opponent , watara , because of its parents were not both ivorian nationals . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , even though , unlike other states african central and western and the ivory coast was formerly a haven of stability and democracy , every state has nevertheless experienced long ago tensions ethnic , religious and it has also been in abuses of power on the part of the previous government in place under president bédié , what has ultimately led to a seizure of power into violence by the military . 
we condemn the ethnic violence and in particular politicians whose demagogy are created . 
the next item is the joint debate on the motions for resolutions : 
the forthcoming meeting between the eu and asean to laos , in december , provides an ideal opportunity to demonstrate that we utterly condemn vigour this regime . 
i do , however , neither sure our own ministers régleraient then the situation . 
asean was , in every sense of the word , a paper tiger in its failure to confront the terrible events in burma . 
the junta has declared that it intends to try to obliterate whole party . 
its past deals with , and , obviously , this is a difficult situation . 
these improvements light - that this does not to the author of the socialist group 's amendments , mr sakellariou , took place in the past few years and have led to a situation which is certainly more tragic , but that is still disastrous and is not in any case not match the stakes , namely those of vietnam to today . 
mr swoboda , the european parliament is an institution flexible and efficient . 
but it would be a good thing that at hanoi , the american president does not only focus on reinforcing the reciprocal cooperation , but will make it very heavily on firm promises , on the part of vietnam , to improve considerably the paltry situation which is reigns in respect of human rights . 
i urge the council and commission to protest vehemently against these infringements of religious freedom in the vietnamese authorities . 
similarly , the process enabled the signature of a cooperation agreement between the commission and vietnam in 1995 . 
the elements which we tabled were naturally included in the resolution . 
i fully agree with the fact that we need to bring aid , but we are aiderions more clearly in changing things that is the cause of their misery and in the countless other people in the world . 
these subjects that we are talking about the medium and long term . 
mr president , commissioner , the floods in recent weeks various regions in northern italy , and other european countries - britain and spain , ireland and france , poses again two issues in this parliament : that of the intervention of emergency exceptional for grist to aid to people and the communities and the firms involved , and that of a political longer-term , designed to prevent a repetition of íatural disasters of this scale . 
that is the transport sector which will require measures that are as important , given its steady development - over 0.38 % , according to forecasts , at the next decade . 
the debate is closed . 
it is perhaps one of the customs and traditions in this parliament , but i think this is extremely difficult to suggest that the parliamentary institution takes european undertakings on something like that , intends to assign a task like this to the commission with such a weak co-determination . 
( parliament rejected the request ) 
economic and social policy of the european union , which has led to the weakening of the purchasing power and opportunities for workers to everything relating to the payment of premiums , together with the emergence of new diseases and to the unaccountability of pharmaceutical companies , led to a marked increase in expenditure on health . 
moreover , a very broad scope is thus receptive to the insurers private , on condition that they do not sélectionnent ( earlier ) sick and insurance premiums per pathology . 
those who are commands and does not spend a lot of money is countless . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , i am very happy to speak in the presence of a group of visitors from my constituency beautiful and which we are most welcome . 
this presupposes , however , both have sufficient time to prepare for the new rules . 
the report says that consensus crescent aiming to highlight the shortcomings of the current rules to be taken into consideration the evolution of the financial sector in the past ten years . 
yes fuller consideration of worthiness that watering down of risk and we approve of further development of the basic principles expounded by the basle committee . 
similarly , we welcome the important contribution to this report on the whole process . 
finally , and it is a key point , we are certainly aware of the need to respect the institutional balance struck in the treaty . 
the vote will take place tomorrow at 9 a.m . 
before i finish , let me , mr president , to take this opportunity to congratulate mr söderman , to congratulate him on the work he has done in the fight against the maladministration and therefore greater harmonization of european citizens with regard to the lives of the community institutions . 
mr president , the european parliament has always maintained , at a very positive and in line with the tradition which is that of the civil service in the nordic countries , that we should strengthen and consolidate the position of the ombudsman . 
the vote will take place tomorrow at 9 a.m . 
after all , access to documents is a fundamental civil rights and no document is also important for each candidate from the one on its examinations . 
we felt it legitimate that a candidate country should have access to its homework redressed as access to documents is a fundamental right , recognized elsewhere in the charter of fundamental rights that we have just adopted this week . 
and that is how it should go . 
this example should be followed by all the other institutions and bodies such as the committee on petitions has recommended . 
the citizens of the european union should have a feeling heartening when they have to face up to the community 's institutions . 
and what is new , on this occasion , is to follow the best practice and to avoid anything which , in our experience and would affect its credibility in the member states . 
as regards the other institutions , it is these which depends on the possibility of adopting the procedures set out in this report or in the requests made by the european ombudsman . 
the minutes of yesterday 's sitting have been distributed . 
if they are restricted by a disaster unavoidable , it is a lack of respect for democracy . however , if they do not give the trouble to come , they do not deserve to abstained from voting . 
the criteria for caution cofunding adopted are justified , but we have to look at other aspects of this issue , particularly the coefficient solvency , which is a parameter for weighted by type of compensation produces a fudging of risk credit noticeable in the hands of a bank . 
resettlement provisional european police college 's ( cep ) 
this police cooperation is essential to attain the general aim to provide european citizens with high safety levels within the european area of freedom , security and justice . 
enlargement of the european union , by extending the area of free movement of citizens , must be accompanied by accompanying measures on security and peaceful coexistence among the member states . 
as far as i understand , conditions in prisons french and portuguese differ . 
therefore , if you want common standards , you must first be defined , otherwise you will be facing training which will be able to make the most important aspects varied . 
but , thanks to the work of mr posselt , there is also planned for staff training of police must include the necessary human rights and the defence , as is currently very sound the suggestion of introducing a police college virtual which exploiterait possibilities for the internet . 
but we are here in strasbourg , in a parliament practically leave out , to hear something of almost incredible . 
this is a good idea and in the european union , where citizens enjoy freedom of movement and livelihood and the right to settle , where travellers from scotland can go into sicily or greece , it is only logical to expect to develop a common system aimed at maintaining the rule of law . 
in the netherlands , the police have trained in the dédramatisation conflicts and to tolerance heavy-handed , in the frame the existence of sous-cultures and of ethnic minorities , on the use of european churches as refuges for persons without status of legal residence and the organisation of interjection policies are considered social phenomena normal . 
those who believe in the right solutions that they are defending must not shy away from the compare with memories of others . 
i hope they will be the starting point for the future . 
this is a good illustration of what is beginning to be designate today by the name of europe in networks , a europe that puts the nations in direct contact , without having a superstructure unhelpful . 
the majority of cases of abduction of children are being treated properly and properly by central authorities in all member states . 
we therefore need to broaden the scope for reasons of fairness and more realistic about the development sociologique and equal rights and obligations for all citizens of the european union . 
meanwhile , we welcome this measure and we shall be happy to vote for it . 
because of sympathy for the purpose background , we adhere to the measures proposed . 
the visit by a day is clearly people who are often around the globe to see a child . 
the viewpoints of the european parliament in this area , as well as the case-law of the court of justice and confirm the commission 's approach . 
i know that fifa has already played the clock and has waited far too long in responding to the formal statement by the commission originating in 1998 . 
it is only natural that the european union is represented in the future within the wada by the commissioner in charge of sporting events . 
judgments of the united kingdom to apply a tax on hauliers not uk-based 
it is clear that ireland is a very small market , but an open market . however , much of what we buy comes from the united kingdom . 
in conclusion , this debate in the european parliament is premature , but i welcome the recognition and commissioner vitorino 's statement which makes it clear that the british government has the right to introduce a system for the euro-vignette provided to respect the rules and regulations already in force . 
mr president , that taxes and charges are obviously vexatious topics and i am able to confirm this in the case of austria when we debate campaigned for this and try continuously solutions for improving road traffic . 
this system is not discriminatory against drivers and haulage contractors from other countries in europe for the benefit of drivers uk-based . 
this routier-là contributes more than is absolutely necessary for its vignette except if there is a special premium on the basis per diem . 
on 22 november , that is the very day of the 25th anniversary of the crowning glory of king juan carlos , which smoothed the path to democracy in spain , a senior figures in this democracy is , in turn , to cost him his life belief in freedom , in tolerance and in accordance with the other . 
you are keep so all carefully . 
the position of the european union in these negotiations has concentrated on the protection of integrity environmental the kyoto protocol in the fields of change in the use of the soils and to forestry , on the issue of ' wells absorption ' , on the link between the mechanism kyoto and action at national level , known as ' supplémentarité ' , and on compliance . 
in order to prepare the intergovernmental session , the eu should not re-open the debate on every issue , but concentrate on the absolutely most important issues such as the mechanics of ' wells absorption ' , on the ' supplémentarité ' and on a system of ensuring conformity solid . 
mr prescott has now reached during the course of flottaison and we do not know how long it will be afloat . 
finally , i think it is a good thing that the commission is strong representations to the issue of reducing emissions , in particular because it is extremely difficult to measure accurately the scale of the reduction in use . 
nuclear energy does not have a chance to take a come-back . 
but more is needed , in bonn in may 2001 , by introducing conditions of equality . 
we should finally to reach a compromise at the bonn conference which will take place in may 2001 . 
the challenge facing us , on climate change , is undoubtedly one of the greatest challenges facing us in the 21st century , if we want as a world where languishing in the future . 
the same goes for the inclusion partial carbon sinks , such as the planting of forest equivalent . 
the hague conference will continue , as you yourself stated , commissioner , early next year in bonn . 
madam president , thank you , commissioner wallström , for your speech . 
is there is an area where there has not been désunion is one of the relationship between the european parliament delegation and the commission . 
we cannot afford to fail to achieve agreed in the next meeting of the cop6 . 
we were very constructive and negotiated up until the last minute conversations in the hague . 
you have the floor , mr president-in-office of the council . 
on the coordination of social security systems , with regard to taxation , on issues for asylum , visas and immigration , on the trade negotiations with regard to services - very important subject - and some countries are still major problems . 
i would add that the seats in the european parliament has still not been the subject of an agreement . 
reaching an agreement which will allow the union to operate after further accessions and all those who are preparing currently actively and is something of vital importance for the future of the european union and of the enlarged union . 
your president is of course invited . 
it will be forwarded , and we hope , of course , vindicated in nice . 
so you see that the debate will be extremely dense at nice . 
in a union of 27 or more member states , the requirement of unanimity would simply lead to a hamstring the strides in any area where it will be maintained . 
you raised the question of codecision with parliament . 
( applause ) 
the challenge is the reunification of the old world . the challenge is an unprecedented enlargement in terms of scale and that is what nice must prepare ourselves . 
madam president , is the most important objective of the nice summit is enlargement of the european union and the preparation of the union for enlargement . 
madam president , mr president-in-office of the council , mr santer , to date , we cannot say that the fifteen will be covered itself with glory . 
this method is not good . 
proposals are now been submitted for allow decisions by qualified majority can be taken into 49 areas . 
the decisions by majority supprimeront the veto afforded to parliamentary democracies in the member states but that will certainly not e.u. a parliamentary democracy . 
mr president , europe needs be shifted . it needs clarity , more choice and of decisiveness . 
the principle of blackmail by the pronouncement do not feel it is within the conclusions of the european council in biarritz , although it has been strings . 
we think that the results of nice will include a statement to the commission to draft a framework directive on this subject . 
i shall be on the nice treaty when i have seen the results , but i am trying to experience somewhat schizophrenic when listening to the debate here today . 
in amsterdam , they were recalés , and the class must again standing in nice . 
if the difference between large and small countries is too important to the council , i fear that the european union is involved , in a few years , a serious crisis of legitimacy because small countries will feel more at home and will afraid that we no longer be able to defend their identity . 
the french president and prime minister appear to be more concerned about their own future policy than that of europe . 
the fact that we do not incorporate the articles in the treaty and that will agree that politically might lead to major problems to interpreting legal . 
secondly , i must emphasise the importance of providing our europe strong institutions in order to counterbalance the institutional void in relation to the speeding-up which took place in economic terms with the euro . 
the declared objectives of this review has to create institutions which are now proper functioning of an enlarged europe , and at the same time , to reduce the democratic deficit , which , of course exists . 
but it is also a question of restructuring the 133 committee itself : render it more responsible , ensuring that its agenda and its conclusions are available and what its composition is wide and open . 
mr president , when i say that the tough issues addressed in nice will not go away if they are are the subject of any agreement at the summit , i do not speak not only to the president-in-office of the council but also to all the governments of member states . 
the operation of the codecision procedure in the last two years shows that this procedure works well . 
so i would say that , initially , he should be admitted that the area of trade policy will be included in the extension of qualified majority voting . 
ageing of seven years , it has been forced to flee their country with regard to the success of the red army are covering up in the ditches to eliminate the flames of aircraft soviet . 
mr méndez de vigo just referred to rightly the charter . 
we cannot be expected more from him . 
the agreement currently being clearcut with every day that is certainly not the lowest common denominator ; it is unfortunately only a tiny , a tiny common denominator . 
mr president , i would first like to thank those members because i feel this debate very high quality . 
it is therefore by no means not to the proclaiming . this is not a question of transparency . 
indeed , the system of the rotating egalitarian also relates to the large countries which , at some point , could not have a commissioner in common with others . 
i believe that parliament will be able to note that the european union has possess the necessary institutional mechanisms improved which would enable it to face the wake of the development of the european union which unites us all . 
the vote will take place . 
mr president , i would like to concur with the statement from mr van orden . 
i am completely opposed to it that anyone threatens a minister guest , albeit turkish . 
naturally , we must , in this house for european democracy , to guarantee the safety of all our guests and all who penetrates under our roof . 
the minister for health , on the grounds that the begin are not harmful and under the slogan ' soignons cancer at the marijuana ' , has undermined human dignity in asking for the liberalization of drugs . 
that is all very bad way and not to say a snub to parliament , and unless we consider that meps have nothing to say about the human rights , whereas they have just voted on by a large majority the charter of fundamental rights , they will lacking from the forum for the european union which , last year there were many for dialogue with non-governmental organisations and the institutions . 
we have said enough about it . 
the truth of the european parliament , as does the commission , took the view , even before amsterdam , that it would be excellent to have a vice-chairman of the commission which endosserait the dual role of the responsible for foreign policy and a high representative accepting liability and a special obligation towards the council . 
as it did so before the feira summit by adopting a resolution on 15 june , the european parliament , tomorrow , should vote on a text stating its position , just before the nice council . 
the development of a common european security and defence policy is an important reinvigoration of the european project and therefore requires the clarifies the existing institutional framework . 
in nice , the european council should adopt several decisions , and i quote now . 
for the first debate at the beginning of next year the commission will draw up a scoreboard , country by country and for the budget year ago , showing the state commitments , the disbursement and amounts outstanding for the main programmes financed by the community budget and by the edf . 
we worked well on the issue of regional cooperation , notion which provoquait some resistance from countries in the area which do not want to be réenfermés emerged from it as they were spent , and i think i can say that because of that summit , they understood that , there was no contradiction between regional cooperation and their progress and their rapprochement with regard to the european union , specifically through the process of stabilisation and association which has been confirmed and made clear at this point . 
there had been previously , a eu-india summit , under portuguese presidency and a ministerial meeting will take place with asean 
it is not a reason for us discouraged . 
i would like to reiterate the motley collection : humanitarian aid , evacuation of nationals and conflict prevention , but also separated by force of belligerent parties . 
this is based , of course , on the independence of decision-making in the european union and on acknowledgement of the voluntary ethos and political commitments . 
it has personnifié more than anyone resolving conflicts in a region which i know very well and has benefited from the world recognition justified for his efforts . 
i find it quite extraordinary cover which have been the creation of this strength in the country i know best . 
i would like to thank mrs lalumière for bringing forward the report on the prevention of conflicts that the commission is preparing , together with the high representative for the nice summit . 
thank you very much , commissioner patten . 
this is , in my opinion , the real test for the european union . 
citizens ' impatient complain that the machine bureaucracy of the union should be in a sluggishness inconceivable . 
our citizens , too , should have access to information and documents as much as possible . 
the proposals now keep unclear unwavering in terms of what should be the same point . 
with a european flag on your car , you pop everywhere , as far as the most déshérité refugee camps . 
that is why , mr president , europe must , in my view , to resolve to act now . 
if we in europe we are unable to play , regardless of the united states , a role influential in finding a solution to this conflict , we should not expect to be presented gives confidence as a ombudsmen in other trouble spots . 
however , your personal commitment does not replace the democratic legitimacy of the european policy on security and defence policy . 
there are parts of the report by mrs lalumière , i cannot accept . on the final vote on tomorrow , i will vote against the report . 
the non-exploitation as a whole range of instruments crisis prevention is going to be long-range mistakes and in this respect , what the council whereby the has already adopted resolutions and things will follow their course and i do not suffice ! 
as you know , we are voting against the two reports and we are committed to unite all forces to the policy they express ... 
thirdly , as olaf palme as was once suggested this has to be a corridor dénucléarisé from the baltic to the black sea . 
i should like to congratulate mrs lalumière on her report . 
the brok report also mentions the post of high representative for the cfsp . 
i regret the attitude of some of my colleagues , mr van orden and others - because i believe that my colleagues from the other side of the irish sea have much to add here : the tradition , experience and practices . 
the european parliament , together with the national parliaments , is in our opinion that the obvious body to do this . 
i believe that we learn from these recent events we will be used as if we accept the need to draw up a european defence policy and to set up the capacity to it , which is something else just as important a part of european integration than is the single currency . 
i also believe that the combination of these various ways is owned and is a possibility , specifically to the european union and that the work we have before us , if this policy is progressing and consolidated and that is to develop a true european culture of prevention and treatment of belligerence . 
i believe that a very positive dialogue will develop . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the commission 's resignation , in march 1999 , revealed the need to reform its structures and working methods . 
the reform , if it can be defined by the special , must be clear and exposed to the unions , for all staff , and that all staff are actually involved in this whole process . 
this measure will take time , but it is inevitable and essential for the reform . 
the reform of the commission is an act essential for the future of our institutions . 
in drafting my report i was able to study not only the white paper , but also the second report of the committee of independent experts and the resolution of this parliament on 19 january , michiel van hulten 's proposed , on the work of the said committee of experts . 
the court of auditors notes in his opinion that it is not opposed to the removal of ante visa , provided that this system to be replaced by other procedures which provide guarantees , at least equivalent , and that different players in the speaker funding can be involved . 
everywhere , in large organisations will become more open and transparent ; they use of new forms of use of information technologies , which diverge from the traditional forms of organization vertical and stems from an exchange of information , both internally and with other organisations . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , in spite of its scope , the content of the white paper presented by commissioner kinnock has no direct of institutional matter . 
we have already talked about china to the debate on the common foreign policy . 
finally , we must open the thorny issue of the proposal to set early retirement . 
centralisation of financial control within each directorate-general is an important step but it can only succeed if the people are properly trained , if the available resources are adequate and whether the responsibility of the frameworks hierarchical is used properly . 
it must be made to the institution and at the head of genuine opportunities to get the best possible management . 
with regard to the disciplinary procedure , we are seeing here , too many promises but so far , no settles clearly , any clear statement on how these rules must be complied with even the issue of external is yet to be definitively resolved . 
the transformation is indeed necessary to serve heaven on a fair and cannot be based on the rules . 
as with all novelty which modifies the scenarios drawn up , it is clear that we have to be closely monitored . 
however , we will withdraw amendment no 6 and request a split vote on the last part of amendment no 3 because we do not think that the system which apply across the european central corresponds to the situation . 
when i last parliament here in parliament and the president of the commission was jacques delors and he was working together with the commissioner brittan and before him , commissioner cockfield . 
mr president , commissioners , ladies and gentlemen , it is with the justified expectations that we have monitored the reform . 
issues such as the bse crisis , the explosion in oil prices and the greenhouse effect which have a strong european dimension . 
the public must also have the feeling that the commission is also open and transparent . 
for the european parliament and the reform is a crucial issue on which it can be placed on as a budgetary authority and legislation . 
it creates a significant number clear procedures enabling an official , for various channels and to complain of misdemeanours potential within the institution that is the employs or outside it . 
so i am sure we shall have the pleasure to listen to you in the future . 
allow me , mr garriga polledo is out to you earliest categories of financial perspectives are kept . 
the reform should be supported and accepted by the commission staff . 
we believe that reform cosmetics at this time of profound change . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , i would firstly like to highlight the quality of the own-initiative report by mrs sauquillo on reform of the commission and its effects on an efficient relations between the european union with the developing countries . 
we want more responsibility . 
before i speak of support to projects , we must try to remove all the causes of exploitation , and in seeking to acknowledging those who have benefited from and which have abused by people who live in need . 
it is precisely because mr nielson is fair to this collegial body that it will no doubt that proposal this evening . 
we think it is even more serious than in the commission 's proposal , separating functions should be maintained . 
in 2001 and , for example , the financial responsibility will be déconcentrées towards 22 delegations , 15 delegations additional will acquire a updating of their plant it and 40- additional posts for staff will be granted the external services . 
maritime safety 
but the erika , as the ievoli sun , were not sea-going vessels frenchman . 
in fact , this topic occupies the top of the agenda of the commission since the shipwreck fatal for the erika 11 months ago . 
we hope that the transport council of 21 december will make its contribution to the development of a common resolve of the european institutions to really improve maritime safety , by adopting a common position on each of the three texts . we expect this to happen . 
i think we have not gone , but we must make sure that this agreement will be applied . 
i understand and appreciate the desire of the minister for us to finissions as quickly as possible to these reports , and therefore i sense priori positive its proposal that debating this issue in december . 
all this has allowed us to draw up a parliamentary report on amending the directive which proposes improvements to roles are leading to the strengthening of the classification system , as a means and valid instrument for guaranteeing safety at sea . 
however , the legacy of the years when waste were simply dumped is now up to this day and age , and sometimes comes back to haunt us , often with serious consequences . 
for this purpose , the publication of information is essential because it is a way which is vital to the public to information , as it is , moreover , the establishment of telephone numbers of emergency . 
i have high expectations of the second set of proposals and creating a european agency for maritime safety . 
you have made seems to me respectable , but we can only talk about the results that have been examined by the council . 
we know that controls by port state did not store on safe seas . we know that all classification societies do not effectuaient their roadworthiness of accurate and reliable , but rather on a bâclée . 
we should not allow the credibility that we seek to restore to be jeopardised by bad behaviour by the commission 's part . 
that does not deal with these responsibilities should remain outside our waters and of our ports . 
the watts report increases measures to prevent ships hazardous serious or sailing under flags of convenience , without deleting these flags . 
i am pleased that the commission 's proposals were restored the main requests from the elected representatives of the french coast : ban on single-hull tankers , more stringent checks in ports , and evaluation of classification societies . 
i also share her view that an incentive to enforce the enregistreurs data recorder . 
guarantees of navigabilité of a ship require major steps in relation to the societies accountable and to inspectorate , as has already been said . 
in short , these measures are voluntary for bringing the safety deliberate . that is bad for men . 
everyone talks about it and i think it is entirely justified that the 25 % now required for this control by the port state have yet to be achieved . 
the time has passed as a compromise which some people already prédisent quite difficult to achieve . 
regarding the classification company and i should like at this time , it is also my task as saying something important is the crux of the present debate seems to be about responsibility . 
with regard to controls harbours , we must make regulating even more severe . 
the lax attitude of big business is a sign that there are more important than the elected institutions . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the question on the safety of ships , and therefore the security of individuals and protecting the environment , are certainly very serious . 
the reports presented are along these lines . 
we agree with the imposition of a limit for the damage belongings or the fatalities and material , in which the member states the possibility of taking these limits . 
new technologies and improvements in designing vessels play in this area a definitive part too . 
we must make progress towards a consensus on the highest possible level of regulation and safety at sea . 
i am pleased to announce that the commission will support numerous proposed amendments in relation to these three reports . 
the commission can accept amendments nos 6 , 7 and 8 but it can only partly accept amendment no 1 . 
the imo normally has formally adopt the timetable for decommissioning at its meeting in april next . 
the commission 's task is flaw to confirm that the classification society continues to respond to the quality criteria laid down in directive ; the commission conducting also monitor the performance of the classification societies . 
the commission welcomes the support shown for the cut-off point . 
once again , this incident shows how urgent to adopt measures non-national boosted , prevention and rehabilitation , for the protection of our seas . 
mr turco , i have noted your message and i am going to be thinking . 
this is essentially a good thing . regarding the other two reports , that is the report on the classification societies and the report on port controls , there are different points of view , and parliament is taking the approach the most rigorous on most issues . 
madam president , i would like to table a proposal to change the amendment in this way , so that it begins with the words : " in this respect , urges the council and the commission ' . 
report ( a5-0329 / 2000 ) by mr pomés ruiz , on behalf of the committee on budgetary control , on the white paper on reform of the committee on the aspects relating to the committee on budgetary control ) ( com ( 2000 ) 0200 - c5-0445 / 2000 - 2000 / 2215 ( cos ) ) 
mckenna report ( a5-0336 / 2000 ) 
impunity capital is reinforced by the privatisation of classification societies , turned out to lie with the boat-owners , and in the absence of a genuine control on the part of the national authorities , or by the complicity of the disabled . 
that is why it is good that the rapporteurs watts , vachetta and piétrasanta tried to close gaps remaining evident from the commission 's proposal . 
the responsibility for implementing these measures as well rests on the member states . 
tankers monocoque cannot carry on navigate here if , elsewhere , they are disappearing from 2005 , 2010 or 2015 . 
however , mr hatzidakis made proposals which restrict the priorities of the commission . 
the promotion of a regulation strictest internationally should remain a fundamental objective of our maritime safety policy . 
it is particularly important to emphasise that the principle & # x02bc ; charging polluter should be fully implemented . 
this community action must be coupled with an reactivation of the imo , given a real power police to apply the code ism , would be an effective instrument , in the style of europol . 
as long as the cost of that violation of the rules will be lower than in respect of these firms are eager to produce a maximum benefit will continue to make the wrong choices . 
preparation of the nice council 
instead of drawing the human rights and social rights upwards , the charter will facilitate transactions aimed at the firing downwards . 
unfortunately , this is what seems to me quite nonexistent proposals for a resolution . 
if , as far as i have often regretted that prime minister , lionel jospin , has just expressed during this six-month period ' because of cohabitation ' , i know the strong impetus he has given up to its ministers and i should like to say this . 
with regard to the social sphere , the proposals are very modest and do not help either of material protagonist on the commitments entered into at the lisbon summit , particularly regarding the need to strengthen the economic and social cohesion . 
that is why a decision on the development of the eu should only be taken if it is alienate the citizens of europe . 
the british want to see a reform that makes europe more responsible and efficient . 
this text was not the imminent ( and increasingly distant ) enlargement calling for the establishment of a system back at a later breath . 
now , the torchon are not just between big business and the ' smaller-denomination ' it is burning also between big business . 
. ( sv ) we consider welcomes the report , which raises many important trends in the development of the common foreign and security policy , and we support . 
like every year , this report ritual of the european parliament , embodied in principle with the annual assessment of the cfsp , is actually the method well-known changes progressive consisting mainly on such a way of federalist nature and achieved in a particular issue and to try constantly to extend it , disregarding the treaties as decisions of the european councils . 
in bavardant with me , it is aware that there is in the process of organising a military force of european states and clout ready to intervene to maintain peace in europe and in its parages . 
secondly , it is not up to the european parliament to define the resources which should have a european rapid reaction force and should , in this connection , the ability to act must be sea and air . 
the conflicts which will arise in the future will not be resolved by military intervention , but by means of a policy geared to social justice , economically and ecologically . 
we are completely opposed to this european army , just like to íáôï and our own national army . 
the formulations directives , for example , on the cfsp and nato , seem to me to go too far , when it comes to using the ' threat to employment in strength ' as a means of pressure in the performance of conflict prevention , which is contrary directly to the un charter . 
ten years after the upheavals which have shaken europe from the east , the ' european project peace ' which are of concern in these reports is in our view , the wrong signal to the candidate countries . 
only six of these paragraphs contain passages addressing the issue . 
unfortunately , a very clear goals is to exceed national laws on abortion or even to condemn or doing away with religious traditions opposed to abortion . 
if they were loop , tens of thousands of women involved living within the european union would no doubt be happy to hear that we are dealing today with a regulation of working intensively on at the informal economy . 
mrs smet is proposed , for example , that we should draw up a european definition of the domestic work . 
the demand for domestic work should be taken into account in the preparation of legislation on employment . 
they have paid their pension contributions to the various national governments , which they were done away with their speedy as if it astute prestidigitateurs . 
finally , the group union for europe of nations recalls forcefully that the citizens of the european union expect more than ever for measures to reform and the recrutements translates into taking due account of the differences of opinion and the views expressed in our countries . 
as regards human resources , merit of agents and greater transparency in terms of personnel policy in general must become the strengths of the new administrative reform . 
on the occasion of this explanation of vote , i should like to insist on underline the fact that parliament has unfortunately not all the powers that it should have . 
i would like to finish off by virtue of procedural motion . 
indeed , mr barón crespo , reports are contradictory . 
it is not a wish of the socialist group . 
that is precisely why we are experiencing difficulties , which is an important summit and all we are going to tell us undertake . 
i should point out that the commission meets tomorrow afternoon so , above all , to seek to realise the conclusions of the intergovernmental conference . 
( parliament approved the proposal ) 
i should be grateful to take on board this request . 
and i would like to protest is this : here is not so today , there is one of those who comply with a hunger strike to support the prisoners at was murdered in rotterdam and a commando ' grey wolves ' . 
this would clearly not been unnecessary if the council agreed last june closer consideration - or the fancy , quite simply , into our recommendation to the first reading , and in the amended proposal of the european commission , which abondait towards us . 
thirdly , we have to decide whether the measures which we support will contribute effectively to improve the functioning of the internal market , and if they are commensurate with the aim here . 
the second concern , such strictly legal , we did , however incentives to make it more closely interdependence between harmonisation of the market and health protection , and following closely the indications that emanates from the grounds on which the court of justice has recently aside the advertising directive . only one reading biased of these motives may lead to the conclusion that these things are incompatible . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , eighty cases fatal to the new variant of cjd in europe and europe and its council of ministers and the commission and parliament decide to ban animal meal and the non-entrée of horse aged over 30 months in food-chain without test beforehand . 
we believe it is natural that article 95 is the basis of this directive , with article 133 - that the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy has now been proposed in amendment no 1 . 
according to the court , a total ban on advertising tobacco products can be justified on behalf of the soundness of the internal market . 
as regards the information such as ' low tar ' and ' mild ' and ' light ' , i remain convinced that these are deceptive and i am therefore opposed to amendments nos 10 and thirties . 
i also wish to refer to the obligation under the treaties . 
the rapporteur , mr maaten , has proposed , with common sense and to strengthen the legal basis with particular reference to an article , article 133 relating to foreign trade , and has also tabled a series of amendments by specific rules in order to prevent this directive is contested by virtue of jurisprudence established by the judgment of the court of justice . 
i regret that , within the committee on legal affairs and the internal market , some people have spoken out in saying that the rejection of the court of justice about banning tobacco advertising of tobacco products shatters so to speak therein . 
indeed , as a member of the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy , i had the attention staunchly tempted by various groups in exerting pressure on the need to regulate more strictly presentation and sale of tobacco products in europe . 
however , and this is the ultimate do i see this directive no provisions aimed at banning tobacco growing within the community , even as in countries such as greece , tobacco grown is so strong that , under this directive , it would be criminal to use it to output . 
we also have to thank mr byrne for the clarity with which he has made the legal basis . 
over half a million people die of needlessly each year within the union as a result of smoking , and the number is doomed to increase if we do not take action now . 
i think it is a legal basis is not at all acceptable either , that is why it is justified and unions , for companies and by my fellow conjure up here job losses . 
i would like to see adopted the option of warning for the photographs and arrangements furnishing the advertising of list of ingredients and research at european level , measures to promote health to help children not to take up smoking and not to be dependent on tobacco , at tar , nicotine and more . 
this willingness to compromise was also present in the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy . 
as i understand that the amendment , exempting would apply to article 3 , i.e. the presence of tar , nicotine and carbon monoxide . 
but given the nature general of the directive , we cannot isolate one by one , and so we should exercise of strictness everywhere . 
the creation of the warnings of a size for some major packs would be a balanced solution . 
finally , 54 amendments altogether were submitted in the report , and i am pleased to inform you that the commission can accept 28-30 , either totally or partially . 
the main argument in favour of these amendments and for a report at the end of a period of five years is really for the enlargement of the european union , which , in the wake of the nice summit , is quite appropriate and adequate . 
the european summer-time looks at long last to be underpinned by the quality of life cofunding , the positive effects of the period of the european summertime is a driven largely on the riots passengers connected with changes footsteps . 
the european summertime is not the bottleneck remains very important for our own common europe . 
a single control by the commission after five years is sufficient . 
we must also be given to the standards that are facing producers of computers and of tachographs electronically , together with calendars and on the agendas . 
madam president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , medical research is needed in order patients , must be approved by fast and unbureaucratic , while still to meticulously respect ethical boundaries and protects dry those participating in a clinical trial against abuse . 
it is an important distinction that we are doing in the report . 
although some points of disagreement with the council persist , let me remind you that the result that we are seeking by adopting this directive , is the fruit of a long and fruitful work compromise made by mr liese , our rapporteur , whom i thank and congratulate her on her approach participatory and constructive and by the council that has been said cooperative and receptive to the amendments which the environment committee has adopted at second reading . 
i am thinking especially of research in the fight against cancer , but there are many others . 
unfortunately , despite the measures taken in this respect , new threats and new illnesses arise and that often and existing medicinal products are not enough to deal with them . it is up to the community 's medical looked at ways modern and more effective to meet these challenges . 
the vote will take place tomorrow at 12 p.m . 
what was agreed with the council and the committee , and indeed with the environment committee in parliament , not to be given a second reading and can go smoothly cofinance avoiding hiatus , is to extend two-year the four programmes , as called for the commission , but to allocate appropriations from year to the extent that , if in the meantime , the new health programme is adopted and comes into force , the renewal and utilisation of funds for the second year are unnecessary . 
generally speaking , it is high time that the member states to agree to allow for the european union , and on an issue legitimately supranational , more room for manoeuvre and a budget that consequence : the disease and related and knows no borders . 
the international organisations such as europol estimates that imports of drugs in the european union are increasing . 
public health is national policy and must remain so . 
the next item is the debate on the report ( a5-0355 / 2000 ) by mrs cerdeira morterero , on behalf of the committee on citizens ' freedoms and rights of citizens , justice and home affairs , on the part of the portuguese republic with regard to the adoption of a framework decision on the status of victims in the framework of criminal procedure ( 9650 / 2000 - c5-0392 / 2000 - 2000 / 0811 ( cns ) ] . 
another international initiative is the un declaration on basic principles of justice pertaining to the victims of crime and the victims of abuse of power , which was adopted in accordance with the resolution 40- / 34 of the european united nations general assembly , on 29 november 1985 . 
you may remember the debate on the di pietro report which took place only a few times in this house . 
this initiative covers three main areas : the right of the victim to information and access to justice and the right to compensation for damage caused . 
the most significant anything , however , in my opinion , in the fact that finally being taken self-awareness , within the union too , about the need to change the vantage point with which we consider the intervention of the state hounding offences . 
the member states should be required to set up units for the special victims of crime . 
italy has asked several times extradition to the man , who has committed ions murder , in france , where lojacono can move freely in order that we can finally serve his sentence . 
in terms of crime and the victim must always be seen a great concern . 
as you remarked , the draft framework decision contains three types of different measures : firstly , it establishes minimum rules for the rights of victims . secondly , it lays down specific rules whose aim is to take into account the position of individual victims of offences against a member state which is not their own country , and thirdly , it encourages states to take measures to assist the victims . 
it is already working on propping networking at european level of national bodies to assist the victims and to ensure that an appropriate treatment of victims , especially to those who cannot be found in the country where the offence took place . 
approval of the minutes of the previous sitting 
mr varela , president of the committee on fisheries , responsible for this reason , has the floor again . 
well bravo ! 
in the trialogue of last tuesday , we have even made some further adjustment to the joint declaration by the council and parliament . 
we have got it in a solution for the 2001 budget . 
we need an internal debate on how and when it comes to the promotion policy , we transformerons current requirements in a transparent procedure . 
we asked for the sake of the island and were replied : ' it would innommable ' . 
so the council held its second reading of the budget in view of the treaties of the parliamentary delegation , with the overriding desire to adopt a budget which to finance all the priorities of the european union and matches the real needs and for the effective capacity to implement the appropriations . 
the third important element in this second reading by the council concerns the agreement reached on the allocation for the programme ' entrepreneurial ' that pursued and complete the programme ' employment ' initiative for the years 2001 and 2005 . 
more generally , i should like to stress that the budgetary procedure which is due to expire in a few days showed the whole point of the interinstitutional agreement of 6 may 1999 . 
discussions were sometimes tight , but they were still pertinent and predicated on trade permanent , which has allowed us to better understand one another and , therefore , to find it easier for agreement , which i hope satisfactory to all . 
it is important that no country in the balkans are receiving now - because of democratising underway in serbia - less aid than what was discussed by the recent events in that country . 
indeed , the continued use , two years on , for the flexibility instrument must be viewed , wrongly in my opinion , as some sort of revising the financial perspective . 
the council has told us today that it is prepared to increase payments of 3.5 % . 
special thanks go to the council and commission for the resolution . 
mr president , i would also like to thank mrs haug on her excellent work she has done . 
i have the impression that , to put it simply , flexibility is so small amounts and the review , for the significant amounts , but it remains to be the next few years how this will change . 
we are now in a position of having to decide whether we can approve or reject the budget on thursday and we must of course examine the budget closely . 
but the interinstitutional agreements between the three institutions are also a very important and they should give us a common security in terms of planning . 
the problems spiral refer more unemployed and for the bse crisis and the stability pact in the balkans . 
madam president , ladies and gentlemen of the european parliament , i am very pleased to be here today to give you an account of the french presidency of the european union and also to measure the progress made in recent months . 
we had promised : there is no leftovers of nice . 
it is the procedure of strengthened cooperation that has been largely assisted in the first and third pillars . 
that is both a huge challenge and also an historic step towards the reunite our continent . 
with this charter our union is becoming stronger and more secure values of dignity , freedom and solidarity which the pin . 
and some weeks ago , it is the chemical tanker , ievolu sun , which is abîmait almost channel islands . 
we have set ourselves targets , they have been achieved . 
madam president , ladies and gentlemen of the european parliament and the next six months , i am able to say today , saw the union worsen in preparing for accept new members , to bring together the family as we are confident that we can work together , and worsen also at the heart of our fellow citizens in the field of value and that of the growth and employment , the principle of solidarity , that of safety and to preserve the european social model , worsen and gain in attendance at international level . 
( applause ) 
that is inevitable in view of the approach , but the result is particularly disappointing . firstly , because it aims to make qualified-majority more difficult to achieve , and so blockage easier , while logically should have been to do so in a union is widen ; 
( applause ) 
at the same time , the declaration on enlargement , which is positive , stipulates that the applicant countries can join the union at the end of 2002 , and the governments of the countries currently negotiating applauded nice ; it is nonetheless make one thing in mind that it is as when children invite friends to a birthday and they do not know whether it bored of plaza embarrassment and if there is money for the bite . 
the ambitiousness of nice was the most important european ambition and a summit for many years . 
madam president , mr president-in-office of the republic , mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the conclusions of my group is dim for the fifteen after the spectacle tad instigating they have offered to europeans . possibly médusés to measure on that occasion and gavel-to-gavel where it is really part of the common approach and to the spirit of solidarity and of mutual trust of the central european leaders . 
in any soul clear-thinking , they are annonciateurs the very serious consequences for whom we brought the project of european federally with 27 or 28 member states . 
please allow me also , mr president , to emphasise that following nice , france is once again like singularly loser . 
madam president , mr president , the group of independents for a europe of democracies and diversities regrets that the presidency has not complied with the message which it was sent back in july . 
many people do not see a still finishing line towards which the european union must encourage them . 
so there is also a cut-off point which should be assessed . 
i believe that they do not reflect just our view of these three groups , but also that of other groups , who have not been able to sign motives for techniques . 
so what we want to promote the development of drugs in the community for it is possible to make patients increased opportunities to benefit from treatments high-performance . 
i congratulate my colleague mary honeyball of his first report to parliament . 
to our surprise , mr fatuzzo has the floor , and i am interested to know what pensioner he met and what he said to her . 
the victim must be treated as a person to face a situation of conscientious and destitution - factors which are probably even more difficult to someone who has suffered in another member state that his amendment . 
the next item is the continuation of the joint debate on : 
it was discouraging to see focus the debate on the question as to which a voice of more or less of one vote , which it could do to germany and france 's and the netherlands or in belgium , portugal or of spain . 
we welcome the fact that a new method to be put in place and we hope that , underlying this hope , which is the statement by the possibility of enhanced cooperation , europe will continue to move forward and that it will be capable of formulating tomorrow for a constitution , which brings back to our citizens the hopes of this great project that is the travels in europe . 
the future member states who are preparing for accession will follow the example of that egocentricity given by the current member states . 
one is to congratulating themselves more than others , but the basic message is clear that europe can now be set up in a democratic european union and post-enlargement , which will be , thanks to the treaty of nice , which is closer to its citizens . 
the vested interests dominate . 
we find consensus in the nick of time in the treaty , we have avoided a overt crisis which would have given expansion in question , but we can talk of a crisis festering it is imperative to resolve . 
i do not believe that it is more realistic to campaign for reassert its own national pride and for the effective working of the european union and i do not believe that european citizens are being mobilised on a massive scale in order to take the actions of flibusterie couched in nice by their governments . 
and what a great project , however , eleven years after the berlin wall . 
at that time , they were to do this for half of europe , and now they must apply to europe as a whole . 
the hurdle institutionally will no longer be invoked post-nice . 
firstly , the institutional imbalance that many of the council and inconsistent with the commission and parliament . 
this method has proved its time . 
the consequences for europe to have been completely unfathomable . 
for example , you know that at the beginning of the european union and the blocking minority can set up so-called two larger ' countries , and today it will take three . 
the stepping-stones come forward , enlargement is possible , the european parliament will have a presence in the debate , in the broadening of the ways and ideas . 
the public good european , and no one is repository - mr moscovici has right here - can be based on the addition of national interests which meet and make neutralisent and in that respect , the prime minister verhofstadt , had a message salutary here . 
we have urged them ratifications . 
i personally believe that the re-weighting of votes will take account of the population , like the european parliament , and should have come about in the council too . 
but nice , mr president , is not the deal , but of the starting-point for a new stage involving many challenges . 
i wish to look at what has already been mentioned several times here today . 
if it is true that it has managed to avoid paralysis full of any future enlarged european union and the ambitions of the french presidency could not be reflected in the new draft treaty . 
for me , mr president , i find it downright that nice deserves the name defective . 
i do not know whether the commission will respond to the end of this debate , but i wonder , in the absence of the council , will the commission is as safe until 2004 , the european parliament will consist of members czechs , hungary and poland and the members baltic . 
we did not hide the need to continue , with equal vigour and the same determination as we had before nice and in the process of enlargement in achieving our goal , namely the greatest encounter with history that parliament and the commission have for the coming years . 
on the other hand , and above all , the problem of funding balkan remains in the coming years . 
i just wish to congratulate the rapporteurs and the president of the committee on budgets and the commission , council and the presidency for the work that has been done , to achieve this agreement will enable us to vote for the budget for 2001 . 
it is also good that additional funds have been made available for small and medium-sized enterprises , which are the main employer . 
in football , it parlerait of a match null and void . 
precisely because we have a budget and because we have reached agreement in conciliation , we should not delude ourselves that all our problems have been settled . 
its importance is not born of anywhere in the treaty , although the council has sometimes hard to see this . 
these rules must be accompanied by a commitment from the college of commissioners to a fair distribution and efficient human and material resources for the management of structural policies , which means that the political importance of parliament and the priority of managed by the commission must coincide . 
so it is the same task of europe than helping to safety and in the regeneration of the environment . 
there is much talk of post-nice . 
you have of course right to come back again to this question . 
there is more than a lack of a military attack or with the possible emergence of a dictatorial regime . 
in this watching correctly , you will see that russia is , in the budget , appreciably par with morocco , or rather earlier on , and i do not think that is normal . 
it is very dangerous if the european becoming more dependent on russia as a matter logistics . 
and a programme such as tacis has an effect precious little in this context , not to say that it is only a drop of water in the ocean . 
the birth rate down , mortality is increasing and the net loss of the population is of a million people a year . 
mr putin himself , and we would do less , although mr putin , said that the issue of the future status of chechnya is not the main issue . 
what happens to russia and its people and its social and their is irrelevant . 
mr president , the european union has adopted in recent years several documents concerning russia , which will provide a good basis for closer relations with the republic of russia . 
and then when is the freedom of the chechen people ? 
it will be in a second stage in order to respect the law . economic progress contributing to also about this stabilization and the fourth stage is to see the hallmarks of a civil society . 
however , we are dealing here with an excellent report which , as the common strategy itself , emphasises the importance we attach to relations - on strategic partnership - between the european union and russia . 
this means that we have to concentrate on some key areas such as the environment as several speakers referred to - and nuclear safety , the enclave of kaliningrad herself and improving the coordination between the various financial resources . 
we must avoid the mistake that somebody mentioned earlier , that was made at the beginning of the last century , when russia was ruled out for european affairs after the revolution léniniste of 1917 . we know that the effects that will be disastrous . 
as you know , the council adopted a common position on the revision of directive 90 / 220 / eec . 
i therefore think that it is on this side that you will find the answer to the from your questions . 
therefore , i am perfectly willing to propose that this debate has additive is simply , we have to choose terms the most appropriate . 
i do not have any news briefing precise enough for me to reply to your supplementary question . 
it surely it would not tell us that he has no precise information about it ! 
the council would remind the member states conclusions which it adopted at its meeting on 19 may 1998 concerning fraud in the fields of alcohol and tobacco . 
all member states have confirmed their determination to step up the fight against fraud , both internally and in connections . 
the european union has stated on several occasions consistent respect that it attaches to the right of asylum . 
in this respect , the partnership acp-communauté european signed in cotonou in june 2000 states that the european union will be deployed at the latest by 2005 access to forthrightness rights for essentially all products originating in the least developed countries . 
i would remind you that the presidency is not here to express views on this or that , it is not a particular government , but rather to express what are , at any time ' n ' , a moment " t " and the council 's position . 
a system for the achat-destruction will be put in place for these cattle-breeder not tested in order to compensate farmers at market prices . 
the french presidency , since the beginning , has had the desire to enable a european answer to this crisis which is a food crisis and a crisis of society and a health crisis . 
at the barcelona process , algeria has supported a number of principles and that of respect for the rule of law . 
i have already had an opportunity and a few weeks ago , to present a few thoughts on the preparation of the special session of the european united nations general assembly devoted to the follow-up to the world summit on children who in september 2001 . 
subject : obligations for turkey in the context of the partnership agreement with the european union under the commission 's proposal concerning the partnership between the european union and turkey , the council is expected to re-examine the situation disputes outstanding , considering the effects on the accession process , in particular , with the aim of promoting their way through the international court of justice , something for the rest of the year 2004 at the latest . 
the council , under the partnership which we have spoken about , will it address this matter with the turkish government ? 
respecte-t-on the rights of defence , and the mutual recognition are contribuera-t-elle ? 
furthermore , it is for each member state to take the decision nationale , sovereign and to introduce or not the national armed forces in the operation . 
subject : importance of tax for the single market work the commission president , mr prodi , has recently insured in an article of the financial times novembre that it does not wish to harmonise taxes or of tax rates shared within the european union to be said that the rate of tax ' smacks of national parliaments and must remain a " . 
questions nos 23 to 32 will be answered in writing . 
the agreement stabilisation and association of the european union and the republic of croatia timely . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i should like to congratulate mr baltas on his report , particularly for the speed with which he has produced this report . it is important to react quickly in the wake of the changes in croatia , which mrs stenzel has just mentioned . 
developments in this area is particularly commendable . 
in 1991-1992 , more than 250 000 croats were like were driven out krajina and of slavonie of eastern and western slavonie . 
there is no doubt that this year is to bring in a day for south-eastern europe . 
i do not think there is much talk of meagre results over a year . 
this seems to us on the most important and we will , hopefully , will have your support when we come back consult you formally once a negotiated agreement . 
the reactions to interfere with the wahid government are numerous and progress seems to stagnate . 
leaders papous are still imprisoned too . 
we call upon the european commission to follow this line . 
the terms of the commission communication dating from the beginning of next year are therefore justified , even if they were characterised by a certain rejoicing that emerges clearly from them . 
justice which has not done and the refugee camps which is éternisent are spaces for confrontation between the powers old and new indonesia , it bears witness to the fragility of the democratisation process . 
the situation the most worrying is that of the moluccas , where the combatants jihad enjoy leeway unacceptable . 
the european irian jaya too is a victim of migration policy . 
we also have to choose the priorities , we cannot interfere in environmental matters , social and economic with the basic problem of respect for democracy and the human rights , which should be a clear political priority of our relations with indonesia . 
the resolution says in categorically that the european irian jaya forms part of indonesia . 
the situation has certainly improved , and we must urge president wahid , but some very serious problems remain . 
it is surely unacceptable that tens of thousands of refugees est-timorais remain hostages at the mercy of villains arming which , under the guise of patriotisme indonesian , are trying to get away with not paying them for criminal past . 
we are counting on the basis of its size , which is the fourth countries around the world 's population . it is because of its economic dimension , because of its role as a matter of the region and , finally , because of its environmental impact assessment . 
that is why we must combine methods and instruments policemen , administrative and judicial havoc among the member states and at eu level . 
( the president cut the speaker off ) 
mrs schreyer , you have repeatedly said that , as the commissioner responsible for fighting fraud , you believe that it was specially from your duty to guarantee the independence of olaf . 
that is the very construction of a financial administration at european level which creates problems in the wrong approach models of distribution of european taxpayers ' money under the so-called ' community ' ; moreover , the models are , in many cases , not desired . 
i would love to be able to congratulate the rapporteur , one that we welcome and which i greatly admire as an individual and policy , on his report , but unfortunately i am unable to do so . 
the report concerns the protection of financial interests of the community and on how we get this issue . that is the main points . 
for reasons of time , i will just a brief presentation of these points . 
the debate is closed . 
there are european legislation to protect firms from the consequences of such a poor management and the commission has now undertaken to implement its own regulations to ensure the rapid payments . 
we have other mechanisms available to us to disclose to light in fraud ex ante which had been ignored so far . 
mrs schreyer , you have just mentioned the council by saying that a member state has opposed to establish a european prosecutor . 
i also believe that this regulation is a very sensible in meaning to the court of auditors what he expects to precisely these reports . 
neither the commission nor the member states can no longer shirk their responsibilities and in particular is the reject each other . 
he said in fairness , regretting it to do so . 
the involvement of the commission and the court of auditors in drafting this report was something very useful and , in my view , very deliberate from you . 
you will see in my speech which i feel it is interesting to deepen the debate on these proposals and ascertain how stiffen responsibilities in this area . 
the first default important to the original text is the lack of harmonisation . 
i therefore believe that article 4 should also be improved . 
within the single market , investors and that it is a matter of private investors and of companies or of pension funds , should be able to exercise their powers on the shareholders will be of benefit to the societies in which they invest and for themselves . 
we cannot close our eyes to reality . another acquisition of action is compounded by redeployment of staff , lay-offs and so on . 
however , what effect may indeed the amendments that we place as a parliament ? 
what should be the concern dominant any legislation governing these acquisitions ? that is the basis on which our diviserons perhaps tomorrow . 
it should instead be easier to resolve the question of deciding what the supervisory authority responsible . 
the rapporteur 's amendments generate confusion about disputes , and it would be wrong to vote in favour of the confused as to litigation potential . 
the first point i would like to related to the directive on takeover bids is power defending robustly before the million voters in my country and the millions of people who have different pension schemes and savings relied on investments on the stock exchange . 
this procedure , which already exist in several other member states , is of course the area of takeover bids , but it is becoming an even more and could perhaps be studied in greater detail in the context of the general review of company law which the commission has proposed . 
finally , i would remind you that we are concerned here with a framework directive , in accordance with the wishes that were made earlier this parliament . 
resale rights is the right incessible and inalienable artists creators of receiving portions of the proceeds from the resale of their works . 
first of all , there is lobbyists uk-based concerns the disappearance of jobs . 
the compromise adopted by the council is therefore no longer just a watered-down version of the original commission proposal and broadly accepted by the european parliament at first reading . 
i also count on support from the commission , at least as one of the three major points of contention . 
here we need also to the vitality and the competitiveness of the european market for art . 
in other cases , they were certainly selling elsewhere , america as well . 
this amendment is acceptable , however , that , in part . 
bidding for postal services 
that is my proposal , mr savary . 
firstly , we must strive to achieve fair prices for postal services . secondly , we must strive to impose quality requirements relating to these services . thirdly , to ensure the provision of a postal service widespread throughout the european union . 
the legal affairs committee was more stringent in relation to the limit of cheap services reserved to provider of universal service , but its proposal concerning the weight limit to 150 grammes that applies and rejecting the limitations of the 50 grammes foreseen in the draft directive . 
finally , i cannot accept a future date liberalisations as long as there is no prior evaluation . 
you know how the matter is complicated ; it is true of brakes and sometimes ideological placed on both sides . 
even if some here in parliament are likely to be able to accept these proposals , we can see that they would have had a devastating effect on the postal services in the european union . 
these proposals would lead to the closure of small post offices rural , whose survival depends on the postal services . 
if we continue with this rate , we must nearly half a century in order to meet market opening of postal services in europe . 
madam president , three points . 
examining this new directive , we must be clear about one particular point . 
it does not happen , and it should not be . 
in a position to unfair competition , the monopolistes can prove that they understand their areas . 
but if grandmother looks forward to receiving a factor pleasant , which also includes the requirements of a postal service quality , it must not be attrister ; rather , we rejoice . 
those who are going badly prepared to negotiations and those who are not the opinion sought since 1997 on the consequences and those who argue in terms of a ideological - we cannot achieve the objectives pursued importantly with you that if we liberalising and liberalising and liberalising - and must not be surprised if reverting to the nose ! 
mr bolkestein , the commission is guardian of the treaties . 
in other words , it seems as if we calculait average income of the billionaire and the european mediocre and which may give a figure satisfactory , but it cannot be seen as socially acceptable , ostensibly due to the existence of the european mediocre . 
times have changed , mr simpson . 
the governments which would cause people were not socialists but of conservative or liberals . 
as soon as the proposal was presented by the commission , i immediately known that it would never be accepted in its original form . 
because if we are all agreed on the principle of openness and liberalisation , but there is no less than the rhythm is important . 
the effects of the first directive are not made known as the results are clear : loss of jobs and deteriorating working conditions , variations in workings of the public service in the entire region , particularly in the countryside and working class neighbourhoods . 
the commission 's proposal provides for a progressive opening up of this sector and , in my opinion , aspiring an improvement in this services as well as pricing more competitive . 
what is essential for the development of the sector 's direct marketing . 
i appeal directly to the british conservatives . 
let me say this to annum post : if this agreement is accepted , it will be a little more blow . 
we can only hope that one day we know ditch situations acquired or weaken the corporatismes self-seeking to achieve real progress in europe . 
only 3 % of the market for correspondence has been liberalised . 
it will be overrun by technology and boudé by consumers who believe that they have not got for their money . 
to help them , it is essential to establish real competition in a controlled way and progressive , combined with a timetable which is predetermined . 
on amendments nos 60 and 61 , i support the principle of completion of the internal market at a later date , to determine in the foreseeable future . 
the commission will set out the same opinion and the council decides on the commission proposal as well to think . 
nevertheless , parliament must now decide . 
my second report is therefore much to the first and recapitulates the amendments approved by the house . 
it is true , commissioner , that we do have some reservations and objections . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , may i begin by congratulating the rapporteur , mr dary which has clearly explained to us reform , its history and its synthesise - which i shall not repeat them . 
this exists in a number of particular areas of the community and the ultra-peripheral regions , in trapped in a few problems to be able to compete on the markets and one of the few products is precisely bananas . 
this organisation discouraged , rather chaos insofar as it aims to establish rules which we align ourselves all . 
there is no exaggeration to say that this issue is one of those which have caused a great deal of all the institutions . 
we must continue to give objectively at these producers methods to live in buying top their production . 
mr president , the rapporteur deserves our thanks and of the sympathy for having handled this difficult report . 
similarly , i thank the presidents of the political groups in this parliament who have accepted stubbornness and the european fixation of members of the outlying regions to ensure that this proposal for reform of the banana sector will be discussed today in parliament , so that we can give our opinion obligatory and be ready for the council of ministers for agriculture to be held shortly and start the 2001 with a new reform of the com in bananas . 
much has been said here about the so-called unanimity within the committee on agriculture and rural development beating about the report by mr dary . 
ladies and gentlemen , i was pleased to inform you of the presence here today for a parliamentary delegation korean in the official gallery . 
this support is given to the council a positive step to media . 
report ( a5-0377 / 2000 ) by mr trakatellis , on behalf of the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy , on the draft decision in the european parliament and council prorogeant programmes community action in the field of public health embraced by the decisions 645 / 96 / ec , 646 / 96 / ec , 647 / 96 / ec , 102 / 97 / ec , 400 / 97 / ec and 1296 / 1999 / ec and amend these decisions [ com ( 2000 ) 448 - c5-0400 / 2000 - 2000 / 0192 ( cod ) ) 
mr president , i should just like to take this opportunity to say , referring to the explanations of the commissioner tonight to 00.05 a.m. , and amendment no 1 commits the commission . 
( parliament approved the oral amendment ) 
amendment no 2 : 
parliament has a duty to go back and regain the majority of these amendments , as regards the size of the warning , including ingredients , consumer protection , particularly young people . 
is there , some members , two categories of people , as is safeguards and the europe we are endangers for economic reasons ? 
i would particularly like to explain why i voted against the export ban on tobacco products apart from a certain level of tar / nicotine from the eu and supported the amendments designed to increase that level . 
madam president , i would agree with the radical proposal to use pictures to illustrate the damage caused by tobacco can lead to health , as is the case in canada . 
i think that is positive , although i would like to - and i take this opportunity to put it - that we expend more for disease prevention . 
i would have preferred it if this measure is to be translated into a regulation , which would be better for an issue for citizens throughout the european union . 
the amendments tabled by mr zimmerling has proposed would bear a fatal blow to the vitality of the european market for art , with the loss of jobs and , i fear , very little , living artists which will benefit from this resale right . 
. ( nl ) it is receives my thanks to mr zimmerling for the work he has put into this arduous . 
i am therefore obliged to vote against this directive . 
and the european stabilisation and association , the cards programme and the european investment bank must not be the main instruments for the contribution of the european union to economic and social development of croatia . 
the indonesian government and army are required self-evident to protect the safety and lives of citizens , whatever their religion . 
that is why we need to create as quickly as possible the means more effective combating of fraud against the community 's financial interests . 
that would make the eu a single legal area for investigation and prosecution and the legal and executions of awards for this type of crime . 
sometimes we seem to have lost sight of this fact . 
amendments nos 11 and 13 seek to re-examine the quota system after ten years alone and to support the establishment of the customs system proposed by the commission and demanded by some of our trading partners . 
with regard to the cause of the tariff preference for the acp countries , we also agree with 300 per tonne , but we see the word ' up ' as superfluous . 
then there is little chance to bring our trading partners tolerate such an extension . 
the next item is the commission statement on the eu-us summit of america . 
that is , admittedly , easier said than done , but we must try to resist the temptation - and i know that the secretary of state albright shares this view - to allow these summits is embourber into the details of our relations daily economic and political . 
a key lectured was that we europeans should assume greater responsibility for security analysis . 
i should be grateful if , on the communication scheduled for early , you wish to details that and if , in addition to the analysis that has been calling for the other side of this house , you are suggestions in every case , about how we can achieve in future more ambitions in terms of dialogue and cooperation in foreign policy and security policy , but also of those issues pragmatic than , for example the agreements on mutual recognition . 
i know too and welcomes the initiative ' everything but arms ' and has asked the commission to come to the summit to put pressure on the united states to adhere to this initiative . 
we therefore need to take action to prevent the irreversible regarding the people who , like mumia abu-jamal or leonard pelletier , are in the corridors of deaths sometime over many years . 
it is an idea extremely useful that we should not forget to follow . 
thank you , commissioner . 
however , i fear i met with the crossfire of my group . 
finally , we have to turn to formulae straight to collecting taxes and , more specifically , in the form of investment in passive subjects . 
the first conclusion is that we cannot do anything without amending the international framework . 
. ( en ) mr president , our committee would like to firstly point out that the current provisions désavantagent suppliers européens of these services , software and data and computer services , accommodation and conception of sites and information on the web . 
i have always said that one of the fundamental rules of legislator should be ' make no precept that you have pourras not to be respected . 
i am pleased that , partly thanks to the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy , the report substantively incorporates a number of important features which , as a result of a combination of circumstances , did not receive sufficient support in the committee on transport . 
at the same time , we must pursue the line which is to ask the revision of the treaty of chicago of 1944 , in order to obtain a new provision internationally . 
the advantages locally shortterm granted to the countries are at the expense of other states of the european union . 
mr president , during the next decade , europe will be in initial position worldwide for the use of the internet . 
many people , in fact , commissioner , wonder why we europeans are always so quick to introduce tax and new regulations . 
in this respect , the convention in chicago is totally obsolete . 
i do not consider the introduction of a common vat system as a priority and i do not agree that such a introduction is long overdue . 
this means that our aim must be clearing away and simplify our tax systems without increasing the tax rates , but in the lower . 
the approach is the most desirable to apply a zero rate in future e-business to put them on an equal footing with their competing american and other worldwide . 
tax competition is in the interests of citizens and for industry . 
consequently , for that operators established outside the union to be subject to the same tax obligations that operators non-national when they provide services pro-consumer and they will make it subjugate vat in one of the member states to choose between them and they will apply the vat rate applicable in this situation . 
but it is not that easy . 
the place where the tax should be applied is an important issue , and the debate on the number of countries which have qualified for having companies registered is something that will , in my view , unwieldy and who will move self-evidently the united states to take action in the wto . 
it is unreasonable that , while a return journey londres-bruxelles costs 89 pounds with virgin airways , for example , eurostar and which produces far fewer greenhouse gases and which is a far more attractive to travel costs , the equivalent of approximately eur 250 pounds for the same trip . 
mr president , this debate sees no of old demons . 
finally , we have heard talk of proposals which had been able to make the french presidency for that taxation is carried out on the place of consumption , with an obligation on the suppliers to be recorded in all member states . 
european companies would be at a disadvantage compared with the airlines of third countries and that would create a distortion of the price structure intra-ue compared with the prices intercontinental . 
this seems to me at least be a solution which would lead to a flight of capital of europe . it is possible only in terms of the oecd and not a one-off through negotiation individually . 
i am well aware that some in this house will feel swamped by visions of incompatible . 
that would avoid the complex entailed in the use of macro-economic criteria or similar circumstance . 
i turn to the proposal from the minimum level of the normal rate . 
therefore , no significant preparatory work has not yet been made in working groups icao , and it is highly unlikely that the forthcoming general assembly permits already to renegotiate the agreement of chicago administrations . 
this feeling persist even today , and it is regrettable , in the spirit of public opinion in europe . 
the final objective of this directive is to strengthen the administration of emergencies at sea and in designating ports of refuge , in banning ships from taking the sea where a strong storm and by asking a coastal state in question to implement more nut strike at sea , where a serious risk of pollution . 
the oil companies are telling us that there is a voluntary fund . 
i hope that after the impetus provided in nice , the misgivings and resistance from certain countries will have gone down and which we are to achieve this objective . 
we will do self-evidently confidence for guaranteeing safety at sea , because it has to realise that it is not set a week without us to be questioned in this question : what you meps , what are you doing to ensure the safety and to change the rules vaccinate ' . 
mr president , the commission is aware that one of the plans announced by the british government on 8 november 2000 was the introduction of a form of taxation of road users such as a vignette payable by all hauliers , uk-based or not , for their use of traffic from the united kingdom . 
secondly , if , as well as the minister for originally intend , it proposes to tax lorries strangers to subsidise carriers from his own country that is contrary to european legislation ? 
this imbalance of an economic between charges and tax burden for lorry drivers in the various member states provoking a distortion of competition within the territory of the united kingdom between hauliers from nationalities . 
with regard to the question of the use of meat and animal meals , their exports is covered in exactly the same way by legislation regulating the production of meat and animal feed in the european union and the obligation to remove it , for example , the substances in danger of meat and meat from the animal meal is covered by legislation and become effective as of 1 march 2001 . 
the jews are traitors and the foul . 
i sincerely hope that in every country in the region , we will see that the services educational promote tolerance rather than intolerance . 
my answer is not surprising on the part of mr monti . 
question no 37 by ( h-0900 / 00 ) : 
the commission will also propose at the same time a support mechanism temporary defensive designed specifically to prevent practices unfair korean during the time before the expiry of the procedure world trade organization . 
it is a dramatic problem . 
the industry user of coke employs a total 70.000 people , but this product is but one part of its very marginal costs , around 2 % . 
question no 40 by ( h-0889 / 00 ) : 
we have presented this proposal for acp countries almost as well as for the member states . 
this does not in fact not intended to dealing with it , i would like to reassure you that both the quantities which can be imported from the community market are weak . 
these countries did deplorably , taking account of their situation , no negotiating capacity autonomous and , therefore , that is something that we must , in my view , take unilaterally , with nothing in return . 
the procedure followed by the commission to give financial aid loved will soon be completed , and it also includes the amounts which the european ecpat needs to 2001 . 
we have three types of activity in this area . 
the commission proposal makes no mention of the place where could settle this future tribunal . 
i am not sure i understand what the honourable member means by ' bloom ' . 
the question by mr berenguer fuster alludes to brands therein . 
i accept that as an incentive to renew our action and to ensure that europe should fastest what it has to be done . 
in my previous question , you replied that this is the fault of spain , which you prendriez the necessary measures . 
it has clarified the proposal which was made earlier . 
the directive 89 / 48 / eec concerns diplomas couronnant professional training of at least three years after secondary school . 
subject : statements seagoing through decartelisation vaasa finland 's umeå in sweden the traffic in this strait of the baltic is likely to disappear as there is more profitable , because shipowners can no longer practising duty-free sales . 
in the city of vaasa stated , for example , 550 jobs have actually been lost in the field of tourism in the process of 2 years , perhaps , because of the ending of duty-free sales . 
this proposal to promote development and use of digital content mirrors the objective of the lisbon summit . 
furthermore , i would urge the commission to draw up implementation procedures more effective and more quickly in the field of invitations to proposition . 
if we can only content valid for companies , particularly the météorologie and geography , which is highly desirable , of course , we should remember , as for content destined to citizens is much more complicated than to implement only useful information on business . 
digital content , representing the more that the quality and standardises downgraded and cultural diversity and society . 
the second point which is equally important , was the attention that we must pay to small and medium-sized companies , for start-up . 
however , when we are doing this passivity a virtue and that we are changing just a negative signal to positively and that we can take up our various languages as barriers but as builders and from the perspective as trump cards , then it becomes a basis for a european market and to a degree of independence . 
i will refrain from all this programme 's objectives : conditions for the marketing and distribution and use of digital content and to encourage economic activity , widen employment opportunities and encourage the use of the potential of digital content in europe and insight into vis--vis the united states . 
therefore , the establishment of appropriate conditions for the production of content digital multilingual european is of increasing importance . 
some of them are in themselves very valuable , but will find a suitable for other instruments for the present resolution . 
how different positions can be made now voting is not on the agenda of this evening and with the largest group in parliament took the view that parliament should not hold the vote tomorrow , it seems to me so much fairer formulated in such a proposal by parliament , in tomorrow 's vote , instead of doing this evening . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , increasing numbers of people in europe are affected by noise . 
the member states are free to decide when will the evening or at night ensuing . 
i am therefore pleased with the commission 's proposal , but i see it as a first step , in my opinion too cautious . 
that is why shortening and discontinuation ambient noise must be a key element of european environmental policy in the future . 
the group of the confederal group of the european united left / nordic green left supports it so willingly , even if we were to go further than that in the search for solutions timely and in the direction of those who make money with the pollution . 
but let me turn to the bickering and the fight delusion that paper from the sidelines , within the commission , in addition , below , transcending recently and yet here at the moment . 
so i cannot disguise my country , éprouvera enormous difficulties with the commission 's proposal , as long as this would involve a mechanism sufficiently flexible to ensure that the lifestyle than we have inherited from our forefathers . besides vaunted much-appreciated both by the spanish and by the foreign visitors , can be maintained . 
however , i would recommend this report and of course , the commission 's proposal to this house . 
secondly , we would like the subsidiary directives relating to quality standards . 
i am all in favour of the need to harmonise the noise indicators and the evaluation methods and to everything that concerns the noise maps and drawing up action plans to reduce levels of noise and to protect areas calmer , and also the need to broaden the whole area of information to the public . 
secondly , the proposal adopted a new approach in order to assess the general conditions for noise in europe according to the number of people affected by noise . 
the commission can accept the following in principle or in part : there are amendments nos 6 , 7 , 12 , 13 and 17 , 21 and 22 , 25 , 28 , 29 , 32 , 39 , 42 , 44 and 45 . 
furthermore , in general , additives cannot be used for the produce not processed - which is the case here - and they have suffered not treated entailing a substantial change in their own country . 
mr president , with the ppe-de group , we voted for the lannoye report in the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy , and this also fits in complete agreement with our expectations . 
no one talks about it . 
the next item is the report ( a5-0372 / 2000 ) by mr staes , on behalf of the european parliament delegation to the conciliation committee on the joint text , approved by the conciliation committee , for a directive on the european parliament and council amending directive 95 / 53 / ec laying down principles relating to the organisation of official controls in the field of animal feed . 
i then received from the french presidency a clear vote and a clear signal , a message of the type ' no pasarán ' . 
after long negotiations , an acceptable compromise has now been made in the conciliation committee : it is about ensuring that the safety measures taken by the commission will remain in force until they have not been replaced by a new decision , and on the commitment of member states to give our full support to the experts from the commission for investigators and controls that they will carry out on the ground . 
i welcome this legislation . 
the structural funds in the eu , particularly through the esf , as well as appropriations of the finance ministries will always have focused on the development of deprived areas and weakest in society . 
cities of europe are important bastions economic , political and socioculturels . 
legislation that meticulous control of its application are resources additional action . 
the commission expressed its appreciation to the major support provided by the european parliament for this proposal and the many useful amendments that have been introduced . 
given the nature of the sector , the commission can accept amendments nos 10 and 23 . 
i say ' famous " because it is a very fashionable and you will agree with me that it is not a day of the press is title of the precautionary principle : on everything and anything , rightly or in the wrong way , but more generally wrongly applied . 
the extremist seek to block the innovation and progress , while the minimum advise that we do employ the precautionary principle that if a significant risk to health and the environment , i.e. transcending of a limit to lay down , but we do not know exactly how ! 
the clarification of the respective roles is a sine qua non for the restoration of the necessary public confidence in science and also in the policy-makers - in other words , we as politicians . 
under these circumstances , a safety margin is preserved , for the purposes of caution . 
we have also asked for action within the wto - a regulation , perhaps - which garantiraient whether it be possible under the wto context , referring to other commitments , such as those that we must tackle under the multilateral agreement on the environment and to extend the scope of the precautionary principle . 
naturally , it is also essential to strengthen the legal validity of the precautionary principle to celebrate a standard of international law . 
the art of the life of administer judiciously the risks and uncertainties . 
sometimes it is a devotes too and the banalise and sometimes it is a devotes too little , provokes outrage . 
i am thinking , for example those phthalates contained in toys . we held the view bizarre to introduce toys in sweets and of ice and other foodstuffs . 
this applies equally to the demands of the commission , which calls for an in-depth analysis of the risk is carried out in advance . 
the invites the commission to use the guidelines adopted and that includes the precautionary principle , whenever this is necessary , in the preparation of its legislative proposals and in all its actions . 
it is not possible to make a maximum ceo of minimums . 
by giving to the first time the sakharov prize to defenders of human rights working inside the european union and the european parliament confirmed earnestly that violations of fundamental rights must be combatted without compromission . 
madam president , ladies and gentlemen , popular initiative ' basta ya ! ' pleases , above all , express its gratitude to parliament for the recognition venerable it is giving . 
it is not just murders . 
i therefore ask you to follow me and to inform me confidence . 
( parliament adopted the legislative resolution ) 
madam president , if the house will allow me , i would like to give an oral explanation of my amendment 51 . 
report ( a5-0334 / 2000 ) by mr garcía-margallo y marfil , on behalf of the committee on economic and monetary affairs on the commission communication on taxation of fuel aircraft ( com ( 2000 ) 110 - c5-0207 / 2000 - 2000 / 2114 ( cos ) ) 
this agreement is attractive for some companies but negatively on the environment and democracy . 
the european milestone which has occurred since our previous budget debate is , of course , the so-called crisis in the mad cow disease . 
this clearly refutes the spirit and letter of the decisions and previously stated , the heads of state and government . 
parliament has managed to secure some important priorities - in particular , greater involvement in the fight against unemployment and poverty , a number of issues relating to the environment and to equality between men and women , etc. we voted against the attacks on the right levelled at the life programme and the lobby of the european women . 
the importance of the appropriation for kosovo , and it is a without causing some legitimate questions about the effective capacity for absorption of the middle of yugoslavia and the 350 million euros that it was originally planned for it earmark in 2001 . 
there is no justification granting tax incentives by means of a form of distributional resolute . 
a deadline makes a clear answer to the people of the postal market and makes it possible for national monopolies to prepare better for liberalization . 
can we smoothing from mere decision , possibly petitement majority and a whole concept of the postal service , concept which has its roots and his point in the peculiarities of each state ? 
the threshold of 50 grammes proposed by the commission , combined with a price ceiling at two and a half times the cost publique , is too much drastic and would have had devastating consequences for the postal services universal . 
hence our opposition firm and clear to everyone in this declaration . 
we believe that the postal service is not within the competence of the eu , although the proposal after reading the commission has significantly better than the original commission proposal . 
dary report ( a-0374 / 2000 ) 
we think , however , that must be protected against the consequences of this war small producers who are out of their plantations without exploiting anyone , and their income regardless of market trends . 
according to article 10 , free speech also means commitments and responsibilities which may lead to conditions and restrictions and penalties . 
we can only welcome the fact of that initiative when we know that the value of digital content u is 5 % in terms of european gdp and 4 million in terms of jobs . 
in these circumstances , it is especially in its consistency and their unity which have provided us with a pre-eminence onto the market for the future . 
i also hope that there will , in 2004 and a reduction in the allocation of competences and the fact that it will abide by the notion of subsidiarity so that the regions and the autonomous communities are to have their status in the european union . 
we cannot fail to applaud . 
for example , on the trade negotiations alluded earlier on , the national parliaments will dispossessed of their last evasion of ratification , and the countries , although it is minority in the council will no longer say " no " if one talks violera itself . 
we have , on many occasions , tempted to those in dissuade and the nice summit has already shown very clearly that an agenda appreciably extended could have led to a lack of outcome this year , which would be catastrophic for enlargement . 
given the fundamental importance for decisions to be taken at the nice summit , making caesar what is caesar . 
in other words , what parliament wants , it is a grip on taxation and issues of social security . 
the council decisions - refunded to the european scored at night - do not provide a solid basis ; they submit huge gaps as regards transparency and setting up a identity and democracy and participation of citizens and the consciences of reform . 
that is why we must give his opinion as the result of a compromise and no one left entirely winners or losers . 
instead , the power of national democracies impairs through trying to limit increasingly the veto and giving increasing power for parliament to the eu . 
therefore , you should vote in favour of this provision limiting still taxation aircraft , because in this way the ticket will still be cheaper and so we can travel more from this form of transport . 
" " is not the place of buildings , you could give our pot of bouquets at the head ! 
the complexity and the variety of new technological developments and the process of structural change require involving all local and regional partners in the development partnerships , which are involved in drawing up plans strategic on regional policy for each region . 
so we must avoid at all costs to the suffocate or to be tampering . 
one could say that innovation is within the reach of the operators surrounding the production process . 
the gap between the regions developed and the backward regions is far more important in terms of technological development and in terms of gross national product . 
as you know , the bureaucrats bear the main argument the risk of errors . 
i do not know whether the fact that three women may have signed today the european budget is a direct consequence of the initiative risi , but i am pleased that the christmas present we are now deciding also serves to women . 
reduce the budget in an area like this , devoted to the expériences-pilotes , with new ideas with regard to local development and urban areas , attaching results more than it is acceptable , which formed the basis of community programmes such valued at local level that there are urban and interreg will also be a mistake . 
as has rightly been said by mr rack , i have never understood and i do comprendrai ever this regional policy and the cohesion policy as a kind of european alms that is made for the poorest regions . 
that is why , when i arrived at the negotiations , at present , the docup , regardless of innovative measures , it is a case of the mainstream , i am very interested in embodied in each of the programming documents a regional basis for access to the information society and i verifies quality , beyond the scope of this regional programme , especially in relation to direct small- and medium-sized enterprises and educational establishments and even their farms . 
mrs schroedter , mr izquierdo collado and josu ortuondo larrea , have rightly raised the issue of the budget funds . 
the price of new shipbuilding have fallen over recent years and have achieved their lowest level in 1999 , because of this policy in south korea . 
the commission had to take a vote special to ensure that this item was on the agenda of the debate here today . 
this view is also in line with the treaty . i do not have time to go into them in more detail . 
however , the commission 's proposal , which includes aid for research and development , the charges against korea in the face of world trade organisation - they are working with lower prices and even compared with the cost to make - and the possibility that there are measures of a transitional aid until recourse is resolved may be , in our opinion , a solution more or less fragile , but they are at least for a solution . 
at the same time , we would need to increase the pressure on korea , where possible within the framework of the oecd and the existence of anti-dumping measures . 
in other words , we support unemployment and they are really anyone else who do business with the dockyards . 
i think it is an excellent radiographie of the european shipbuilding industry , real radiographie . 
this procedure will be no more quick result , which it can take up to two years to come to the final conclusion , if it went . 
this mechanism would be implemented until the conclusion of the proceedings at the wto . 
i am sure that we are all united today to defend and vigorously forcefully freedom in europe , but i must say that , rather than the solidarity of the members of parliament , the spanish have need of those commitments . 
on a day of may , sailing on the waters of sicily , his heart nuclear montra very worrying signs of deterioration . 
instead it would be alarming that , in this case , we did not act as quickly as possible . 
in both , we strongly the need for both member states concerned , the united kingdom and spain , cooperates closely in the search for solving the safer for the preservation of the submarine while bearing in mind . yes , the public aware of promptly . 
we have heard what fault in the uk fleet by saying that the european fault was minimal and others who said exactly the opposite , that it is important and that it required the repairs long and difficult . 
i know that the house will , without these commitments , we would have been present . it was i who comes from the breach . 
the commission is drawing to study it . 
as they are already initiated , reconsidering realistically the range of options available today the uk and the authorities in gibraltar . 
cooperation and calm are methods in use in our union . 
the british government behaves as pointed out the russian government at a fault avoidance of one of its submarines .

in 1980 , the hcr was concerned about five million refugees . 
today we welcome the unhcr and the whole of relief workers .

b5-0909 / 2000 by mrs pack and others , on behalf of the ppe-de group ; 
the final issue i would like to talk about the dramatic events taking place in the border between serbia and kosovo . 
that is what is the place of milosevic and not the congress of the party in belgrade . 
in our view , the mentality of ethnic groups in kosovo who are still them must be changed and become a mentality creature of mutual respect . 
i do not want to join our own praise , but we can also say that the european union has acted very quickly in this new situation . 
b5-0915 / 2000 by mr medina ortega and others , on behalf of the pse group ;

the chilean government has assured us that , chile , general pinochet would have a fair trial and it has now lost his immunity and judicial authorities chilean instigate legal proceedings against him . 
let me reiterate that it is important for us to support this joint resolution , now that pinochet in chile , is what we were unable to do if pinochet was the united kingdom . 
i will say it knows that these basic principles are those of the party of european free alliance and green groups in this house .

defenders of human rights and trade unionists and scholar , journalists and students relate to hassle constant by governments . 
it is in a state critical . 
bullying everyday and the tabassage of all democrats really are generally applied . 
i hope that in this case the judicial system chilean will continue to be independent and efficiency . 
we know that the heads of mission in the european union follow closely the political situation in the country . 
finally , i should like to mention the crucial role of parliament , which helped to raise the awareness and to intensify the dialogue on these issues , through visits mps and of public debates like this . 
laurent gbagbo must enter into a genuine policy of national reconciliation , by way of breaking with the speech of the european ivoirité , amending the constitution racist , and by the holding of democratic elections where any candidates were excluded , otherwise the risks of separation and civil war will only increase . 
mr president , reports from the ivory coast arouses for months is a justified concern amongst the citizens of europe and our concerns corresponding to this house . 
conditions are : if they cannot be taking ruled out , that the supreme court established by the military authorities scrapped , that the head of state took an active unequivocally in the process of restoration of democracy and that we hear the opinion of the committee for national reconciliation . 
the concept of ivoirité seems to me personally outstandingly well founded . 
a demi-douzaine of copies are now available to the president . 
mr president , on behalf of the greens , we withdraw the proposal for a resolution . 
mr president , i can confirm what has just been said by mr posselt . 
( the minutes were approved ) 
with regard to these people and the member states must implement policies , in addressing both to the problem of further assistance to that of cover the costs , particularly those with disabled people whose families have really are not capable of assuming a paid definitively and comprehensive . 
mr president , this is a great pleasure for me to speak on behalf of the greens / european free alliance and to congratulate the rapporteur on her excellent report . 
at present , thanks to the improvement of resources sanitary and more information , health care , housing and of pension systems , more and more people are living longer lives . 
it is above all the member state governments and administrations federal states and the provinces and councils which by numerous recommendations and may be somewhat useful . 
the basis of a vision of life is knocked to the family , in which every human being can be child . 
often , in recent years of life , it is seriously ill , it is totally handicapped , we need more aid for all . 
finally , i should like to stress a point relating to medical care . 
the debate has so that women should not work to ensure that people have a job .

finally , we need re-impose explicitly in the text the possibility of actions in favour of the outermost regions and their logo . 
we must also insist on production methods that are respectful of animal welfare and the environment .

it is natural that the cost is borne by the producers and retailers and professional organisations and not from the european union . 
we must ask ourselves why we have failed in the past to encourage industry in the european union to use the money that was available . 
of course , if we can make and promote feedingstuffs best for the environment , taking account of animal welfare , and sell them in world markets , then we will achieve exactly the purpose for which common agricultural policy was devised . 
on amendments nos 9 and 10 which call for the establishment of a county management special , and with regard to amendments nos 7 , 19 , 23 , 27 , which require further change of procedure , we must add that the commission should hold the terms of procedure coherent . 
anyone who insist that , in europe we like once again the good things are right . 
mr president , it is scientifically proven that the moderate consumption of wine is one of the best prejudices against cancer and the european collapse , alzheimer 's , and so on . 
. ( nl ) i would like to praise the rapporteur for his work .
