Indeed he rejected "euro pessimism" pointing out that the slowdown in Europe's economy was matched by similar developments elsewhere and, indeed looking to the USA, he pointed to a higher public deficit and a higher unemployment rate if the two million people languishing in American jails were included in the figures.

The problem is that Article 43 is not subject to a codecision procedure, and sadly enough, the Treaty of Amsterdam has brought no solace.

As the proposal in the area of applicable law is largely identical to the proposal in the area of family law, it goes without saying that the amendments made to the first proposal have been taken over in the second proposal, even though that proposal is not subject to the codecision procedure.

The first proposal, subject to the codecision procedure, covers applicable law in contractual and non-contractual obligations.

It started life in the previous Parliament and then changed to codecision and unanimity in Council in 1999.

Since this matter comes under the co-decision procedure introduced by the Treaty on European Union, the European Parliament exercised its right to reject the Directive at its July 1994 session, mainly on account of the problem of comitology.

Bearing these elements in mind, the Commission has drawn up this amended proposal for a Decision of the European Parliament and of the Council on the implementation of a training programme for professionals in the European audiovisual programme industry (MEDIA - Training) (2001-2005), given that this Decision (alone) is subject to the co-decision procedure.

Since this text is covered by the co-decision procedure introduced by the Treaty on European Union, Parliament invoked its right to reject the Directive during its July 1994 session.

Contrary to expectations, therefore, a second reading will be required, which means that the report will be discussed again in the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, since this is a legislative area subject to the codecision procedure.

This article, which was amended by the Treaty of Nice, governed by codecision, giving Parliament the role of colegislator also serves as the legal basis for the shipbuilding industry.

Consequently, the Commission has to respect the terms of the Treaty and observe that this proposal relates to family law and cannot fall therefore within the co-decision procedure.

Dismissing any suggestions that the Commission should consider withdrawing the proposal on foot of the Parliament’s vote, the Minister emphasised that the proposal is subject to the co-decision process under the Treaty and that as far as the Irish Presidency is concerned, “the Council will continue its work to agree its position on the ETS clarification proposal, and has scheduled two further meetings of the Environment Working Party in the coming days for this purpose.”

Finally, I know that the Euratom programme is not part of the EC programme and is not subject to codecision, but I would welcome an assurance from the Commissioner that the Commission will reflect European Parliament concerns in its activities, and in particular our amendments to the Euratom programme.
