Heralded as ‘a stage further in the opening of postal services to competition’, the Council wants the European Parliament to approve a directive which constitutes another step towards doing away with the public postal service. The policy of the national governments and the European institutions is a reactionary policy ... | GUE-NGL |
This debate on air quality concerns the particular problem of ozone in ambient air, as set out in the Davies report. All the experts agree that it is essential to raise standards of air quality so that people throughout the European Union are protected effectively against health risks posed by ozone in ambient air. The... | PSE |
Mr President, Commissioner, a society that calls itself civilised and that prides itself on its defence of human rights cannot accept as inevitable the high maternal and child mortality rates of the developing countries and the suffering of so many women. Therefore, within the framework of a global policy to combat pov... | PPE-DE |
Mr President, I can only agree with Mr Lehne. Cooperation between the European Union and the Russian Federation is of enormous importance, and important matters were discussed at the summit, too. I really cannot, however, to be honest, share the optimistic account Mr Sasi has just given of present circumstances and fut... | PSE |
Mr President, Commissioner, if Europe is to grow, attract capital and create jobs, the single market for financial services must be turned into a reality. Up until now, it has mostly been a matter of words and all too few concrete measures. At present, the financial services market and, through this, Europe’s power to ... | ELDR |
Mr President, Commissioner Byrne, I welcome the fact that recognition will be given to Community law. Legal awareness of Community law must be increased in the Member States. However, I would like to ask you whether we are looking at a long time period if you initiate treaty infringement proceedings. In the meantime, w... | Verts-ALE |
My group also regrets the Council’s obstinacy in finalising legislation concerning the establishment of common rules for security in aviation. Everyone is agreed that it is of great importance that this matter should be brought to a prompt close. The events of 11 September represented a very pressing reason for this. T... | PSE |
Madam President, Commissioner, without doubt the fifth UN Conference on women held in Beijing was an important step on the road towards equality of the sexes, culminating as it did with the surprising agreement by the representatives of all the UN countries to a joint worldwide platform for action. Five years on, we ne... | PSE |
Mr President, I should like to offer General Morillon my warmest congratulations on his report, in which he has combined perceptiveness with clarity. In addition to explaining how far Turkey is from complying with the Copenhagen criteria, Mr Morillon also lists and enumerates what additional conditions Turkey must meet... | PPE-DE |
Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, it augurs well that we are holding this debate on International Women’s Day, and thereby bringing our commitment to such things as the combating of violence to the attention of the countries from which we come. Mrs Karamanou has alluded to the many things we have achiev... | PSE |
Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Mr President of the Commission, ladies and gentlemen, the President of the Commission has just told us that in matters of democracy there is no room for subsidiarity. Well I would like to say that there is no room for subsidiarity in matters of human rights either. U... | PSE |
Mr President, I too should like to start by warmly congratulating the rapporteur on the excellent standard of her report, as the Commissioner acknowledged earlier, and I should also like to say how pleased I am that the Greek Presidency managed, after long consultations, to close – it did not start but it closed – this... | PSE |
Commissioner, we are particularly concerned because the decision that has been taken does not appear to be an adequate proper response to the anxiety of the consumers. The testing is not systematic or is limited to sick animals or dead-on-farm animals, and so we are in no way giving the impression of adopting a quasi-s... | PSE |
I come from another small country and as a result, will strike a slightly different note, but you will understand that for us, the Danish Presidency will at any rate have a smooth start as far as a number of aspects are concerned. You are to us a model of democracy, transparency and of international solidarity – so far... | Verts-ALE |
Mr President, too often we have to come to this Chamber on a Thursday afternoon to make speeches we would rather not have to make. That is certainly true today. I have been to Kyrgyzstan several times in recent years, as it emerged from those dark days of the Soviet empire and set the pace for the region in terms of po... | PPE-DE |
Mr President, perhaps I can begin by saying the introduction of the title of our debate no doubt had many Daily Mail journalists salivating, but the issues that we are considering are fundamental issues that go to the heart of what the European Union is all about. That is the development of a true, single market; becau... | PPE-DE |
Madam President, it is important that we have, or that we at least discuss, the Johannesburg proposals for legally binding international frameworks on corporate accountability and liability, particularly on the basis of core labour standards. I voted for this report, even though it was much weaker than originally propo... | Verts-ALE |
Madam President, I shall not try to deceive you – this is not a point of order. I just wanted to speak briefly. Mr Swoboda quite rightly said that we must carry out an enquiry. I would like to say, however, that the Echelon affair is being investigated by a temporary committee and not a committee of enquiry. | Verts-ALE |
Commissioner, Mr President, Lothar was a quite ordinary name hitherto. However, it has now achieved notoriety. The hurricane of the same name swept across Europe claiming numerous victims, mainly in France and Germany, but also in Switzerland, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The wind triumphed over electric... | PPE-DE |
Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Commissioners, ladies and gentlemen, it has been said in this House a number of times, and it is not unimportant: there is wide unanimity across the political divide on this issue, and you must support it in the forthcoming negotiations in Bonn. That is not all: for ... | PSE |
Mr President, I would like to ask how Question Time came to be dropped yesterday although there was enough time to include it in the course of the part-session. There is no Question Time today either. I believe that this is one of Members' fundamental rights and I would like to ask that Question Time should be held whe... | PPE-DE |
Madam President, referring to this document that he mentioned, Mr Ortuondo talks to us about centralism. I do not know if he is referring to the centralism of Spain in relation to the Basque Country. I am sure he is not, because, as he knows, the Basque region has the highest degree of self-government of any European r... | PPE-DE |
Mr President, thank you for giving me the floor. I do not need three minutes. I will be very brief. During his statement, if the translation was correct, Mr Berlusconi said that a director is currently shooting a film in Italy about the concentration camps, and was inviting me to take the role of the Kapo ... (Heckling... | PSE |
Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, short sea shipping is the most economical, most efficient, and most suitable solution for remote regions. I would like to thank Mrs Peijs for her interesting and excellent proposal. In my own country, shipping is almost totally of this short sea shipping type: in other ... | PSE |
Madam President, the great majority of my group have voted against the Watson report on the European arrest warrant. However, our motives were very different from those of Mr Berlusconi, and that is why I should like to make this contribution, mainly to avoid being tarred with the same brush. In principle, the Group of... | Verts-ALE |
Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to begin by praising the quality, breadth and importance of the European Commission draft directive. I must say, however, that I regret that this text, which is, after all, an integral part of the Telecom package, has been withdrawn from the competency o... | PSE |
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow we shall vote on the draft directive on prospectuses, which should make it possible for issuers to be granted a single passport for prospectuses in the European Union. The Commission’s proposal is in many respects an invaluable step forward. However, closer examination an... | PPE-DE |
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, a new parliament is to be elected in Cambodia on 27 July, and some twenty political parties want to take part in this election. That is in itself an indication of some degree of progress towards democracy. At the end of the day, of course, what counts is the way in which these electi... | PPE-DE |
Mr President, I must firstly congratulate the Commission on the expediency and quality of its communication on women and science which highlights the current imbalance and the need to change this situation. I also want to congratulate my colleague, Mrs McNally, on her excellent report and the proposals which it contain... | PSE |
Mr President, I would like to thank the rapporteur for the enormous amount of work she has done, but I do not congratulate her on the content of the report. Mr Lange, I know we are talking about a White Paper, but this White Paper sketches a mere initial outline of our views, and when we in the express our opinions, we... | PPE-DE |
Madam President, I am pleased to hear the Commission say that in principle it can accept Amendment No 25. But I was keen to hear whether the Council could accept it, if that were perhaps possible. | Verts-ALE |
Mr President, I would also like to thank the Danish Prime Minister, but there was a position on the Cyprus issue that was a surprise for me. I think there is a small, delicate and, I hope, unintentional change in the text of the resolution of the Helsinki European Council. The resolution says that the decision on the a... | GUE-NGL |
Mr President, the Convention was an assembly of all parliaments, all governments, and the Commission. The Intergovernmental Conference is only an assembly of all the governments. It is quite clear that, in this historic process of giving Europe a constitution, it is no longer the Intergovernmental Conference that enjoy... | PSE |
Madam President, while I welcome many of the improvements that have been made, I want to make a point concerning the management side: we would very much welcome some recycling facilities, given the sheer amount of paper that appears every day, much of which is not kept. We would like people to look into that please. Th... | Verts-ALE |
Mr President, Commissioner, I represent a country whose history revolves around fishing and the sea, and which still has a total of around 50 000 jobs in the fisheries sector as a whole. The first criticism I have of the Commission proposal is that it does not take account of the diverse make-up of the European Union's... | PPE-DE |
Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, as the date of accession approaches ever nearer, all the more often am I – as probably are also my fellow MEPs – asked whether we were not too hasty, and whether this accession, this enlargement, is not perhaps premature. Of course, the date is premature if you believe ... | PSE |
Mr President, this is my customary Christmas present to the Presidency, to the officials who assist the Presidency, to the interpreters, to all those who work in this Chamber and devote so much time during the year to listening to Mr Fatuzzo’s explanations of vote. It is now a custom that, at Christmas, Mr Fatuzzo deli... | PPE-DE |
Mr President, Madam President-in-Office, Commissioner, the enlargement of the European Union is certainly the most fascinating and most important project that we are working on. I fully agree with this. In this respect I believe that the future is certain, as you said; the timing may not be quite certain but it will ha... | PSE |
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, it is very difficult to talk about such sensitive issues when there is so little time available but I would like to confirm that, contrary to what many speakers have said, we have increased protection following 11 September and drawn up a raft of measures which include those we ar... | PPE-DE |
Mr President, Commissioner, I should like to thank you and my esteemed fellow MEP, Mr Harbour, for their reports to this House. It is, however, slightly ironical that the best information about what happened at the summit has appeared on the radical party’s web sites. The EU’s own web sites have contained extremely lit... | ELDR |
Although the joint text that has been adopted contains positive aspects that deserve our approval, it is clearly inadequate. Nevertheless, if implemented, it could contribute to ensuring greater participation by social organisations and movements and by authorities at local and regional level in formalising and evaluat... | GUE-NGL |
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, as part of this joint debate on economic and social cohesion, we are analysing the Mastorakis report on the Commission’s second progress report on European cohesion policy. I would like to express my support for the ideas expressed by the rapporteur, and take this opportunity to than... | PPE-DE |
Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, this summer should be, for us politicians, our latest warning finally to take action on climate change. We talk a lot – obviously, and that is only right – of the thousands of victims in France and Portugal, but we forget that, this summer, floods in China have claimed four million v... | Verts-ALE |
Mr President, I recommend that urgent procedure be applied to this document because it would also make it easier for China to take part in the forthcoming meeting in Doha.

I am very grateful to Commissioner Vitorino for his very encouraging reply and I hope to see that list of specific items which he has said we will have before long. However, I would like to ask the Commissioner whether the Commission has realised that there will have to be complementarity between the INTERREG and MEDA ... | PSE |
For a century, the generation and distribution of electricity was largely kept out of the hands of commerce. It is not a product that you are free to choose whether or not to buy. Every household needs electricity and no one can run the risk of its non-availability. Distribution takes place along lines under the public... | GUE-NGL |
Mr President, cattle in England was fed with the ground carcasses of animals and foreign prions caused BSE. In France sludge has been mixed with animal feed, which has also contained human waste, because of its urea content. In Belgium, fats have been mixed with animal feed, and the fats, when heated, have produced dio... | GUE-NGL |
By way of clarification, does the Commission consider it conceivable that the European Union will allow Cuba to accede to the Cotonou Agreement as long as the political detainees now sentenced remain in detention? | ELDR |
The recent wreck of the oil tanker, Erika, and the chemical tanker, the Ievoli Sun, have revealed the importance of the role played by classification societies in maritime transport. And we have a legitimate reason to question the reliability and the effectiveness of the inspections they carry out. First of all, recogn... | GUE-NGL |
Mr President, this directive has been under discussion since 1997. It is high time that we reached an agreement. Since I more or less share the views of my colleague, Mr Sjöstedt and the representative of the , Mr de Roo, I am not going to use the two minutes allotted to me, and I will highlight just two issues. Firstl... | GUE-NGL |
Mr President, I wish I could also say Commissioner but Mr Verheugen has us very early and I am sorry about that, nearly all the political parties in Greece and the most important parties in Cyprus have come out in favour of the Annan plan. However, they share the concerns and doubts of the Cypriot people, who are not f... | PPE-DE |
Mr President, last night the Working Group of Parliament set up by the Conference of Presidents voted very narrowly to send two contradictory reports to the Conference of Presidents on the issue of EU funding to the Palestinian Authority. Can I please ask the Conference of Presidents to act on these reports? I would al... | PPE-DE |
Madam President, I voted for the Heaton-Harris report, which deals with the movement of university students within the European Union. However, a survey has been carried out which highlights a factor which I consider to be extremely negative: precisely half the university students who had the right to benefit from the ... | PPE-DE |
Madam President, the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development recommends that the request for urgent procedure be accepted. Firstly, this is an urgent matter which needs to be agreed this year. Secondly, we agree with the objective. The great majority of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development is convi... | Verts-ALE |
Madam President, we still know very little about BSE, a disease that has shaken the whole European agricultural sector. We urgently need new research into what causes it and how it spreads. There is no reliable proof of the quality of the screening process. The call to lower the age of animals to be tested from thirty ... | PPE-DE |
Mr President, it is clear why our Group is going to vote in favour of the Klamt report and is not going to support its withdrawal. Yesterday I had a dream in this chamber: in the European Union there was a single executive, which was the Commission, and a single legislative body, which was Parliament, and Mr Vitorino w... | PSE |
Madam President, on the same subject of TV reception, as raised by my colleague Mrs Plooij-van Gorsel, I wish to express the hope that the technical problems currently preventing the reception of BBC1 and BBC2 can be resolved. I realise that we English-speakers are spoilt with Sky, CNN and BBC World, but it is not the ... | ELDR |
draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market. – Mr President, on behalf of the Committee on Legal Affairs let me state in very clear and simple terms the position of the committee as we voted; (a) to ban all phthalates and (b) as a consequence to delete all labelling, since if you ... | PSE |
Mr President, Zimbabwe really had all the qualifications for becoming a prosperous and successful country in southern Africa. That is why it is so incredibly tragic to see it heading straight for the abyss. Zimbabwe has been discussed by us many times in this House, as I know it has also been in the other institutions.... | ELDR |
Mr President, unfortunately, kidnappings in Sierra Leone are once again in the news. This time it is the kidnapping of eleven British soldiers by the West Side Boys militia. To this we must add the attacks carried out by this group of rebels with the aim of extending their area of influence, which have cost the lives o... | PPE-DE |
Mr President, I, like many other Members, found it impossible to vote against the resolution arising from the Napolitano report, because the report, first of all, and then the resolution, are innovative texts with regard to the regional dimension. Unfortunately, numerous votes in plenary have damaged this remarkable wo... | PSE |
Mr President, the gap between the rich, the poor and the poorest countries of all has been growing since the 1990s. Removing the barriers to trade on products from developing countries on the part of the EU has not visibly improved the situation in third countries, although the EU is the largest export market for agric... | PPE-DE |
Thank you for that reply. When I tabled this question there was in fact a log-jam in the Council and there was no discussion, which was the purpose for tabling the question. But I welcome the fact that now there is movement within the Council and that we in the Committee on Foreign Affairs actually have a copy of your ... | PPE-DE |
Mr President, Commissioner Byrne, ladies and gentlemen, the Commission’s proposal on animal by-products involves strict separation into three categories. I would like to remind you that category 1 includes the risk material and is primarily covered by the regulation on TSEs recently adopted by Parliament for the third ... | ELDR |
Mr President, to begin with I would like to congratulate Mr Maaten on a splendid report. I also think there is reason to thank Mr Byrne for a very clear presentation of the legal basis. When I listen to Mrs Palacio and also to Mr Lechner I am reminded most of all of the reports we are receiving from American courts rig... | PSE |
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I voted in favour of the Jonckheer report, as we now need to make it possible to at last give favourable tax treatment to non-food crops. We should welcome the European Union’s declaration that the increased use of renewable sources of energy is one of its objectives and the Commissi... | PPE-DE |
Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, now that we have this report – for which I should like to thank Mrs de Sarnez – the time is right for the European Union to reflect on what it means by the right to education, and more specifically higher education, and how it intends to implement this right. The twenti... | PSE |
Unaccompanied minors seeking asylum (paragraphs 51 and 96 of the resolution, page 69 justification): The report is defective in this respect.

US agencies can directly access data on the flight passenger list with no guarantee that the permission of those concerned will be asked, and with no guarantee ... | PSE |
Mr President, as we all know, the European Coal and Steel Community was the first institutional body. The structure of Europe was gradually built up around it, and in recent years it has provided substantial assistance, in terms of both social aid and research to coal and steel firms. The approach of the expiry of the ... | PSE |
Mr President, where is the journey into, and with, a united Europe to lead? The debates we are having now will add something to this key issue, which is to be addressed in the decades to come. Do we in fact need a constitution for Europe? To what extent should certain important competences, which hitherto have been the... | PPE-DE |
Mr President, my group is delighted with the report and we would therefore like to congratulate the rapporteur, Mr Hernandez-Mollar, on his work. I should also like to congratulate the Commission on its efforts in this area, and I hope that it will maintain a high level of ambition, both in terms of the ultimate framew... | Verts-ALE |
I welcome what the Commissioner said about raising this matter with the Palestinian authorities, but I want to take him back to the last part of his original answer which was the dialogue between the youth of Israel and young Palestinians. Will he reinforce the Community's efforts in this field? That is where the futur... | PSE |
Madam President, the proposals in the Scheele report, together with the Trakatellis report, mean that consumers do not have to use GMOs.

Mr President, let me add my voice to those of our fellow Members of Parliament who have already spoken in this debate to stress how intolerable the uncertainty of the fate of these 605 prisoners and missing persons is to their families, with regard to human rights of course, but also with regard to the right to human d... | PPE-DE |
Mr President, today we are discussing Mr Galeote Quecedo’s excellent report, on which there is a broad consensus. Clearly, if we are to support the Union’s international activities, we need suitable mechanisms, knowledge and skills. Equally clearly, these alone are not enough. We also need policies. In this sense, Mr G... | PSE |
Madam Present, in the past our Parliament has looked very critically at the situation in Algeria, but our Parliament was also the first which sought contact and dialogue with the Algerian Parliament. The result of yesterday’s referendum gives us cause to rejoice, along with the people of Algeria, who are on the road to... | PSE |
My Labour colleagues and I have voted for Amendments Nos 13 and 24 to Article 20 and Amendment No 15 to Article 21 of the Marinho report. These amendments ensure that decisions on transfers of asylum seekers will have suspensive effect. Without this right, asylum seekers could be shuffled between Member States whilst t... | PSE |

The present report on the Commission’s recommendation for the broad guidelines of the economic policies of the Member States and the Community in 2001 states that the supreme goal of European economic policy is to make the European Union into the most competitive and dynamic economic area in the world by 2010. That is ... | GUE-NGL |
Mr President, our group’s vote, which expresses our lack of confidence in the Commission, is not down to disliking the people, the Members of the Commission, or the President, but is the result of a political assessment of their programmes. We have listened carefully and with an open mind to the President’s repeated st... | GUE-NGL |
Mr President, I would simply like to propose a rational solution to the problem.

Mr President, I propose that we all have the right to a second b... | Verts-ALE |
Mr President, I am pleasantly surprised that, as delegation leader Mr Galeote, you too have asked to speak on fisheries today. You even have three minutes, time enough to score an equaliser, I think.

Mr President, for me, as a German MEP, the reunification of Europe, for which we have voted today, is of comparable significance to the restoration of the unity of my own country. It is for that reason that I approved today's applications for accession with all my heart, including that of the Czech Republic. I do, howe... | PPE-DE |
Mr President, I think that we have to make the best of a bad job, because we are fortunate enough to have quite a full House, which is quite rare for a Wednesday afternoon.

Madam President, President-in-Office, Commissioner, thank you very much for your remarks here today, especially for the clear language which you, Madam President-in-Office, used and which is not always found in the Council’s statements. You actually described what the Israeli government is doing, namely murdering its o... | PSE |
Madam President, Commissioner, in my opinion and in the opinion of the majority of the committee, I would imagine, the two related reports before us this evening have been prepared with undue haste. Their quality is certainly not in keeping with the legal traditions of Europe and its Member States. The two reports focu... | GUE-NGL |
We have voted against the Haug report. We see the report in terms of a desire on the part of the Committee on Budgets to furnish the European Union with its own right of taxation. This is in conflict with the general opinion prevalent within the EU and runs counter to the will of the Member States. We understand this a... | GUE-NGL |
We have voted against the report by Mrs Müller on food supplements. We believe the legal grounds for the decision are incorrect and that the EU lacks the competence to push through harmonising legislation in this area. The question of food supplements is a public health issue which should wholly or in part be decided o... | GUE-NGL |
Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, although Europe is becoming more democratic, more transparent, and closer to its people, it has certainly not finished with this Constitutional Treaty.

Like the Commissioner I think surveillance of these diseases is fundamentally important and that is why I am concerned that there should not be a gap.

Mr President, the main proposition of the Bourlanges report involves increasing the budget by EUR 700 million to finance what he calls the four priorities, with, first and foremost, aid for the reconstruction of Kosovo.

Mr President, it seems that since the launch of the euro in January 1999, the European public, far from becoming more interested in it, has in fact been losing interest, as if the extremely long period of three years without notes and coins has turned the euro into a kind of virtual reality. Although we have repeatedly... | PSE |
Mr President, the results of the first round of the presidential elections, which were held on 16 December 2001 in Madagascar, have been the subject of great controversy and conflict between the two leading candidates, namely the outgoing president, Didier Ratsiraka, and his rival Marc Ravalomanana. It is claimed that ... | Verts-ALE |
Mr President, in the spring, the Council took a clear stance in favour of the Stability and Growth Pact.
