en: If, until the end of a period of up to three years after 1 May 2004, difficulties arise which are serious and liable to persist in any sector of the economy or which could bring about serious deterioration in the economic situation of a given area, a new Member State may apply for authorisation to take protective measures in order to rectify the situation and adjust the sector concerned to the economy of the internal market.  
sl: (1) Če se do konca obdobja, ki traja največ tri leta po 1. maju 2004, v katerem koli gospodarskem sektorju pojavijo resne težave, ki bi utegnile trajati dalj časa ali ki bi lahko resno poslabšale gospodarske razmere na določenem območju, lahko nova država članica zaprosi za dovoljenje za sprejetje zaščitnih ukrepov, da bi nastale razmere popravila in da bi ta sektor prilagodila gospodarstvu notranjega trga.

en: In the same circumstances, any present Member State may apply for authorisation to take protective measures with regard to one or more of the new Member States.  
sl: V enakih razmerah lahko vsaka sedanja država članica zaprosi za dovoljenje za sprejetje zaščitnih ukrepov glede ene ali več novih držav članic.

en: Upon request by the State concerned, the Commission shall, by emergency procedure, adopt the European regulations or decisions establishing the protective measures which it considers necessary, specifying the conditions and modalities under which they are to be put into effect.  
sl: (2) Na prošnjo zadevne države članice Komisija po hitrem postopku sprejme evropske uredbe ali sklepe s katerimi določi zaščitne ukrepe, ki so po njenem mnenju potrebni, ter podrobno opredeli pogoje in način njihovega izvajanja.

en: In the event of serious economic difficulties and at the express request of the Member State concerned, the Commission shall act within five working days of the receipt of the request accompanied by the relevant background information.  
sl: V resnih gospodarskih težavah in na izrecno prošnjo zadevne države članice Komisija odloči v petih delovnih dneh po prejemu prošnje, ki so ji priloženi ustrezni podatki.

en: The measures thus decided on shall be applicable forthwith, shall take account of the interests of all parties concerned and shall not entail frontier controls.  
sl: Tako sprejeti ukrepi se začnejo uporabljati takoj, upoštevajo interese vseh zadevnih strank in nimajo za posledico mejnih kontrol.

en: The measures authorised under paragraph 2 may involve derogations from the rules of the Constitution, and in particular from this Protocol, to such an extent and for such periods as are strictly necessary in order to attain the objectives referred to in paragraph 1.  
sl: (3) Ukrepi, dovoljeni na podlagi prejšnjega odstavka, lahko vsebujejo izjeme od pravil, predvidenih z Ustavo in zlasti s tem protokolom v takšnem obsegu in za toliko časa, kolikor je nujno potrebno za doseganje ciljev iz prvega odstavka tega člena.

en: Priority shall be given to such measures as will least disturb the functioning of the internal market.  
sl: Prednost imajo ukrepi, ki kar najmanj ovirajo delovanje notranjega trga.

en: Article 27  
sl: 27. člen

en: If a new Member State has failed to implement commitments undertaken in the context of the accession negotiations, causing a serious breach of the functioning of the internal market, including any commitments in all sectoral policies which concern economic activities with cross-border effect, or an imminent risk of such breach, the Commission may, until the end of a period of up to three years after 1 May 2004, upon the motivated request of a Member State or on its own initiative, adopt European regulations or decisions establishing appropriate measures.  
sl: Če nova država članica ni izpolnila zavez, ki jih je prevzela v okviru pristopnih pogajanj, vključno z obveznostmi v vseh sektorskih politikah, povezanih z gospodarskimi aktivnostmi s čezmejnim učinkom, in je s tem povzročila hujšo nepravilnost v delovanju notranjega trga ali grozečo nevarnost take nepravilnosti, lahko Komisija do konca obdobja, ki lahko traja največ tri leta po 1. maju 2004, na utemeljeno prošnjo države članice ali na lastno pobudo sprejme evropske uredbe ali sklepe s katerimi določi ustrezne ukrepe.

en: Measures shall be proportional and priority shall be given to measures which least disturb the functioning of the internal market and, where appropriate, to the application of the existing sectoral safeguard mechanisms.  
sl: Ukrepi so sorazmerni, prednost pa imajo tisti, ki kar najmanj ovirajo delovanje notranjega trga in, kjer je to primerno, uporaba obstoječih sektorskih zaščitnih mehanizmov.

en: Such safeguard measures shall not be invoked as a means of arbitrary discrimination or a disguised restriction on trade between Member States.  
sl: Ti zaščitni ukrepi se ne smejo uveljavljati kot sredstvo samovoljne diskriminacije ali prikritega omejevanja trgovine med državami članicami.

en: The measures shall be maintained no longer than strictly necessary, and, in any case, will be lifted when the relevant commitment is implemented.  
sl: Ukrepi se ohranijo le toliko časa, kolikor je to nujno potrebno in bodo v vsakem primeru ukinjeni, ko bo ustrezna zaveza izpolnjena.

en: They may however be applied beyond the period specified in the first paragraph as long as the relevant commitments have not been fulfilled.  
sl: Dokler ustrezne zaveze niso izpolnjene, pa se ukrepi lahko uporabljajo tudi po izteku obdobja, ki je določeno v prejšnjem odstavku.

en: In response to progress made by the new Member State concerned in fulfilling its commitments, the Commission may adapt the measures as appropriate.  
sl: Ob upoštevanju napredka zadevne nove države članice pri izpolnjevanju zavez lahko Komisija ukrepe ustrezno prilagodi.

en: The Commission shall inform the Council in good time before revoking the European regulations or decisions establishing the safeguard measures, and it shall take duly into account any observations of the Council in this respect.  
sl: Pred preklicem evropskih uredb ali sklepov, s katerimi so bili določeni zaščitni ukrepi, Komisija pravočasno obvesti Svet in ustrezno upošteva morebitne pripombe Sveta v tej zvezi.
