The Greek objections are not about denying the country’s right to independence or rejecting effective cooperation with the northern neighbour, but a wish to express the idea, by adding concepts such as ‘Vardar’, Skopje’ or ‘North’, that the state with the constitutional name of ‘Republic of Macedonia’ does not include the whole area that is regarded historically as Macedonia.

Under an interim agreement the United Nations has since 1993 provisionally designated the country as the ‘Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia’, often presented as the English abbreviation ‘FYRoM’, which is totally mystifying to public opinion both at home and abroad.

Зачитане на езиковото многообразие
Respect for multilingualism
Счита езиковото многообразие за ключова характеристика на ЕС, която подчертава културното и езиковото разнообразие и осигурява равното третиране на гражданите на ЕС; то гарантира правото на гражданите да общуват с институциите на ЕС на всеки един от официалните езици, като по този начин им позволява да упражняват своето право на демократичен контрол; отбелязва, че същевременно езиковите служби допринасят за откритостта и прозрачността на институциите на ЕС пред гражданите на Европа;
Considers multilingualism to be a key feature of the EU, which highlights cultural and linguistic diversity and ensures equal treatment of EU citizens; it guarantees citizens' right to communicate with the EU institutions in any of its official languages, thus enabling them to exercise their right of democratic control; notes that, at the same time, the linguistic services contribute to the EU institutions remaining open and transparent to the citizens of Europe;
Счита, че понятието за "контролирано пълно езиково многообразие", установено в Кодекса за поведение
Is of the opinion that the concept of "controlled full multilingualism", laid down in its Code of Conduct
Кодекс за поведение относно езиковото многообразие, приет от Бюрото на 4 септември 2006 г. , представлява единственият начин за запазване на разходите в приемливи бюджетни граници при същевременно запазване на равенството между членовете на ЕП и гражданите;
Code of Conduct on Multilingualism, adopted by the Bureau on 4 September 2006. , represents the only means of keeping the costs within acceptable budgetary limits, whilst maintaining equality among Members and citizens;
Изразява съжаление, че все повече документи или съобщения, особено компромисните изменения в момента на гласуването им в комисия, или например приложенията към докладите, се представят само на един език;
Regrets that more and more documents or communications, in particular compromise amendments when put to the vote in committee or, for instance, annexes to reports, are submitted in one language only;
Разходи за превод
Cost of translations
Подчертава, че общите разходи за писмен и устен превод на всички езикови служби на европейските институции представляват почти 1 % от общия бюджет на ЕС;
Stresses that the total cost of all the linguistic services of the EU institutions - translation and interpretation combined - represents merely 1 % of the total EU budget;
Отбелязва, че през 2005 г. обемът на преводите е бил 1 324 000 страници за Комисията (1 450 преводачи), 1 080 000 страници за Парламента (550 преводачи) и 475 000 страници за Съвета (660 преводачи);
Notes that, in 2005, the volume of translations was 1 324 000 pages in the Commission (1 450 translators), 1 080 000 pages in the Parliament (550 translators) and 475 000 pages in the Council (660 translators);
Изразява учудване, че институциите все още не са изчислили своите общи разходи за превод, нито разходите за страница превод
Is surprised that institutions have so far calculated neither their total translation costs
Според Сметната палата тези цифри включват разходи за преводачи, секретари, ръководни служители, служители, планиране, сгради, компютърно оборудване и управление на човешките ресурси (т.е. обучение). ; отбелязва също така, че Европейската сметна палата е оценила общите разходи за преводи за 2003 г. на 414 200 000 евро (511 000 000 евро за 2005 г.), 214 800 000 за Комисията (257 000 000 евро за 2005 г.), 99 000 000 евро за Парламента (128 000 000 евро за 2005 г.) и 100 400 000 за Съвета (126 000 000 евро за 2005 г.); за същата година разходите на страница са възлизали средно на 166,37 евро: (196,3 евро за 2005 г.) - 150,2 евро за Комисията (194 евро за 2005 г.), 149,7 евро за Парламента (119 евро за 2005 г.) и 251,8 евро за Съвета (276 евро за 2005 г.);
According to the Court those figures entail costs for translators, secretaries, management, service staff, planning, building, IT, and human resource management (i.e. training). , nor their costs per page; notes furthermore, that the European Court of Auditors (ECA) estimated the full cost of translation, in 2003, at EUR 414,2 million (2005: EUR 511 million), 214,8 million for the Commission (2005: EUR 257 million), EUR 99 million for the Parliament (2005: EUR 128 million) and EUR 100,4 million for the Council (2005: EUR 126 million); for the same year the average costs per page stood at EUR 166,37 (2005: EUR 196,3): EUR 150,2 for the Commission (2005: EUR 194), EUR 149,7 for the Parliament (2005: EUR 119), and EUR 251,8 for the Council (2005: EUR 276);
В тази връзка, приветства факта, че администрацията на ЕП е успяла да намали разходите за превод на страница въпреки разширяването;
Welcomes, in that context, that its administration has managed to reduce translation costs by page in spite of enlargement;
Изразява загриженост от забележката на Европейската сметна палата за ниската продуктивност на службите за превод на Съвета;
Is concerned about the ECA's observation that the productivity of the Council's translation service is low;
Призовава институциите да предприемат подходящи мерки за допълнително подобряване на продуктивността на службите за превод на ЕС;
Calls on the institutions to take the appropriate measures to further improve the productivity of the EU translation services;
Отбелязва, че цените, заплатени от ЕП за преводачи на свободна практика, са средно с 12% по-високи от заплатените от Комисията цени; отбелязва даденото от администрацията обяснение, в което се посочва, че езиковият обхват на преводачите на свободна практика на Парламента е по-широк и те трябва да спазват по-кратки срокове и много високи стандарти за качество;
Notices that the prices it paid for freelance translators were on average 12 % higher than the prices paid by the Commission; notes the explanation given by its administration, pointing out that the language range of Parliament's freelance translators is wider, that they must respect shorter deadlines and very high quality standards;
Приветства факта, че Комисията и Съветът са успели да ограничат нарастването на обема на преводите след разширяването с десетте нови държави-членки, като по този начин преодоляват всяко нарастване на разходите; отбелязва, че Парламентът е въвел понятието за "контролирано пълно езиково многообразие", като по този начин е осигурил поддържането на нивото на услугата при същевременно контролиране на разходите;
Welcomes the fact that the Commission and the Council have managed to limit the increase in translation volume after the EU-10 enlargement, thereby curbing the cost increase; notes that Parliament introduced the concept of "controlled full multilingualism", thereby enabling it to maintain the level of service while controlling costs;
Призовава трите институции да установят ясни и съпоставими параметри за изчисляване на разходите с цел установяване на общите разходи за превод и цената на страница; подчертава, че получените данни следва да се използват не само за бюджетни цели, но и за повишаване на осведомеността на ползвателите относно разходите;
Calls on the three institutions to establish clear and comparable cost parameters with a view to ascertaining both the total cost of translation and the price per page; stresses that the sums obtained should be used not only for budgetary purposes, but also to raise cost awareness among users;
Изразява съгласие с принципа
Agrees on the principle
PE 368.524/BUR/Corr, Протокол от заседание на Бюрото на 16 януари 2006 г. , че пълните стенографски протоколи от пленарните заседания следва да се публикуват като многоезичен документ, в който изявленията на ораторите са единствено на оригиналния език на изказването, при условие че при поискване от страна на обществеността се предоставя безплатно филмов запис на разискванията, заедно с устен превод на живо на всички официални езици, на подходящ носител и при отчитане на факта, че единствено оригиналният текст е автентичен, предвид че от правна гледна точка симултанният превод не представлява устен превод; счита, че членовете на ЕП трябва да имат право на достъп до извадки от разискванията на техния език, с възможност да ги изтеглят в електронен формат и без срок; счита също, че трябва да се осигури поддържането на дигитален и позволяващ търсене архив; изисква Генералният секретар да състави официално предложение за прилагане на това принципно решение, което да включи клаузи срещу злоупотребата и да установи евентуалните промени в Правилника за дейността на ЕП (например, в член 173) и в други вътрешни разпоредби, които е необходимо да бъдат направени, за да започне прилагането на предвидения нов подход;
PE 368.524/BUR/Corr, minutes of Bureau meeting on 16 January 2006. that verbatim reports of proceedings in the plenary should be published as a multi-lingual document in which the statements of the speakers only appear in the original language of the statement, on the understanding that filmed versions of the debates, together with live interpretation into all the official languages be made available free of charge to the general public on demand on an appropriate technical platform and that only the original text is authoritative, given that, legally, interpretation is not an oral translation ; is of the opinion that Members must be entitled to have access to extracts of debates translated into their languages, with the possibility of downloading them and without delay; is also of the opinion that provision must be made to keep a digital and searchable archive; requests the Secretary-General to draw up a formal proposal implementing that decision of principle, which would include anti-abuse clauses and identify, if indicated, potential changes to the Rules of Procedure (e.g. Rule 173) and to other internal rules necessary to put the envisaged new approach into practice;
