The EIB’s function as a financial catalyst is no less important, above all through its loans to support public-private partnerships that promote private sector participation in financing the Trans-European Networks.

As far as the sufficiency of funds is concerned, situations such as occurred at the end of 2005 must be avoided, when it became apparent that the resources available under the Euromed II programme had been used up, and the EIB decided to grant loans at its own risk to the associated Mediterranean countries during this year.

With regard to geographical distribution, we consider that the amount of loans granted to Latin America – €134 million, which represents only 2.5 of the total devoted to projects outside the EU – is insufficient.

We would thus avoid situations in which loans that would have been granted by the private sector are now granted under better conditions for the intermediary banks thanks to the EIB's triple A classification.

Moreover, in view of the fact that SMEs often encounter a scarcity of ways of obtaining information, we recommend that the EIB increase access to its products even further, for example through an increase in the number of financial institutions operating as the Bank's intermediaries in each country.

A. като има предвид, че интегрираните насоки са основен инструмент за политиката на ЕС в областта на икономиката и заетостта в рамките на един средносрочен период от три години; като има предвид, че този инструмент, въз основа на редакцията му от 2005 г. и предстоящото му преразглеждане през 2006 г. следва да бъде внимателно оценен и доразвит с оглед подобряване на прилагането му,
A. whereas the integrated guidelines are a central instrument of EU policy on the economy and employment focusing on a medium-term period of three years; whereas that instrument should, based on the version of 2005 and their forthcoming review, be assessed carefully and developed further in the interest of improving its implementation,
Б. като има предвид, че интегрираните насоки, обновеният Пакт за стабилност и растеж, както и финансовата рамка за периода 2007-2013 г., заедно ще допринесат за постигане на по-голяма съгласуваност в процеса на определяне на политики и за подобряване на икономическото управление на Европейския съюз,
B. whereas the integrated guidelines, the reformed Stability and Growth Pact and the Financial Framework for 2007 to 2013 will contribute together to creating greater coherence in the policy-making process and improving the economic governance of the European Union,
В. като има предвид, че интегрираните насоки не бива да се възприемат единствено като преименуване на същестуващите политики, а следва да се превърнат в истински интегриран пакет от политики, който обхваща и обединява макро- и микроикономическите измерения и измеренията на трудовата заетост,
C. whereas the integrated guidelines should not be regarded merely as a relabelling of existing policies but should become a genuinely integrated package of policies encompassing and converging macroeconomic, microeconomic and employment dimensions,
Г. като има предвид, че интегрираните насоки са съществен елемент на Лисабонската стратегия и като неин основен инструмент за прилагане следва, с помощта на уравновесен подход, основаващ се на комбинация от политики, да преследват реформи, които черпят вдъхновение една от друга, в областта на икономиката, заетостта, околната среда и социалното осигуряване,
D. whereas the integrated guidelines are an essential component of the Lisbon Strategy and should, as its central implementing instrument, with the aid of a balanced ‘policy-mix’ approach pursue reciprocally inspiring reforms in the areas of the economy, employment, the environment and social security,
Д. като има предвид, че икономическият растеж не е самоцел, а необходимо условие и в тази си роля е част от интегриран подход за осигуряване на благосъстояние и жизнен стандарт на гражданите; като има предвид, че стремежът за постигане на устойчив растеж, основаващ се на икономическа политика, социалноосигурителна политика и политика за заетостта, околната среда и бюджета, трябва да съответства на отговорността му спрямо бъдещите поколения,
E. whereas economic growth is not an end in itself but a necessary condition, and as such, part of an integrated approach, for securing the welfare and living standards of citizens; whereas the endeavour to achieve sustainable growth must be based on a policy for the economy, social security, employment, the environment and the budget that does justice to its responsibility towards future generations,
Възползване от възходящата тенденция в областта на икономиката и заетостта в Европейския съюз
Making good use of the upswing in the economy and employment in the Europe an Union
Отбелязва, че след шест години на недостатъчен икономически растеж, стагнация или дори рецесия в много държави-членки, европейската икономика понастоящем постига по-добър темп на растежа, който надвишава темпа от предходните години, т.е. темп на растежа за 2006 г. от 2,8% от БВП в Европейския съюз и 2,6% от БВП в еврозоната, който ръст обаче спада през 2007 г. до 2,4% в Европейския съюз и 2,1% в еврозоната; повдига въпроса относно доколко растежът в Европа е възможно да има цикличен характер и подчертава необходимостта от насърчаване на потенциала на Европа за растеж, така че да може да се създава заетост;
Notes that after six years of low economic growth, stagnation or even recession in many Member States, the European economy is now achieving better results with a growth rate that exceeds that of previous years, that is to say a growth rate in 2006 of 2,8 % of GDP in the European Union and of 2,6 % of GDP in the euro area falling in 2007, however, to 2,4 % in the European Union and 2,1 % in the euro area; raises the question as to the extent to which European growth may be cyclical and stresses the need to enhance Europe’s growth potential so as to be able to generate employment;
Отбелязва наличието на големи различия между темповете на растеж в държавите-членки и изразява загриженост за относително ниския темп на растеж в редица от големите държави-членки, което най-вече може да се отдаде на стагнацията във вътрешното търсене; в тази връзка по-високия от средните стойности темп на растеж в скандинавските страни, който се съпътства от значително намаляване на безработицата в последно време;
Points out that there are wide disparities between the growth rates of the Member States and expresses concern at the relatively low growth rate in a number of the large Member States, which is primarily attributable to stagnant internal demand; notes in this context the above-average growth rate enjoyed by the Scandinavian countries accompanied by a recent substantial reduction in unemployment;
Подчертава подобрението в публичните финанси с намаляване на средния бюджетен дефицит до 2% от БВП за 2006 г.; очаква последващи подобрения на качеството на публичните финанси, които не отразяват единствено циклични фактори;
Stresses the improvement in public finances with a reduction in the average budget deficit to 2% of GDP for 2006; expects further improvements in the quality of public finances which do not only mirror cyclical factors;
Отбелязва положително развитие на пазара на труда с удвояване на годишния темп на растежа на производителността на труда от 0,6% до 1,2% и намаляване на безработицата до 8% както в Европейския съюз, така и в еврозоната през 2006 г., и предвидена безработица от 7,3% в Европейския съюз и 7,4% в еврозоната до 2008 г., нарастване на заетостта с около 1,4%, представляващо 2,9 милиона нови работни места през 2006 г., с възможност за нови 7 милиона нови работни места през периода от 2007 до 2008 г., което би означавало нарастване на нивото на заетост от 63,7% през 2005 г. на 65,5% през 2008 г.; отбелязва, все пак, че равнищата на безработица, особено сред жените, са все още високи и са далеч от постигането на лисабонските цели; призовава, следователно, за полагане на допълнителни усилия за реализиране на ефективен и приобщаващ европейския пазар на труда, който съчетава гъвкавост и сигурност и е в състояние да постигне значително по-висок процент на участие; подчертава в тази насока, че необходимите реформи следва да се разработват и прилагат в сътрудничество със социалните партньори;
Notes the positive development in the employment market, with a doubling of the annual growth rate of labour productivity from 0.6 to 1.2 % and a decline in unemployment to 8 % in both the European Union and the euro area in 2006, and a predicted unemployment rate of 7.3% in the European Union and 7.4% in the euro area by 2008, employment growth around 1.4%, representing 2.9 million new jobs in 2006 with the prospect of a further 7 million new jobs in the period 2007 to 2008, which would mean a rise in the employment rate from 63.7% in 2005 to 65.5% by 2008; notes, however, that unemployment rates, particularly among women, are still high and far from achieving the Lisbon Objectives; calls, therefore, for further efforts towards an effective and inclusive European labour market, which combines flexibility and security and is able to achieve a significantly higher participation rate; stresses in this context that necessary reforms should be designed and implemented in best collaboration with the social partners;
Изразява загриженост за постоянно високото ниво на бедност в ЕС, което след намаляване от 17% на 15% през средата на 90-те години на XX век, наскоро отнове е нараснало на 17% през 2005 г.; в тази връзка счита за неприемливо, че в ЕС-27 около 80 милиона души имат разполагаем доход, който е под 60% от националния изравнен среден доход;
Is concerned at the constantly high level of poverty in the EU which, following a fall from 17% to 15% in the mid-1990s, has recently risen again to 17% in 2005; considers it unacceptable in this connection that, in the EU-27, around 80 million people have a disposable income of below 60% of the national equalised median income;
Отбелязва, че през 2006 г. ЕС е разширил водещата си роля на най-голям световен износител, като износът му е нараснал с 8%, но подчертава, че износният излишък възлиза на едва 0,3% процентни пункта от настоящия растеж на БВП в еврозоната и изтъква рисковия фактор, свързан с високия обменен курс евро/долар; обръща внимание на факта, че сегашният икономически подем се основава предимно на съживяването на вътрешното търсене и това е до голяма степен резултат от краткосрочни инвестиции; отбелязва, че основният проблем, пред който е била изправена европейската икономика през последните десет години, е недостатъчното вътрешно търсене, което може да се отдаде на липсата на доверие, породена от безработица; изразява загриженост докога може да се постига продължителен растеж на инвестициите и потреблението, наред с устойчиво подобряване на положението в сферата на заетостта, така че предимно цикличното нарастване да се превърне в структурна възходяща тенденция;
Points out that in 2006, the European Union expanded its leading role as a world champion exporter, with an 8 % growth in exports, but underlines the fact that the export surplus only accounts for about 0.3 percentage points of the current GDP growth in the euro area and stresses the risk factor attached to the high euro-dollar exchange rate; draws attention to the fact that the present economic upswing is predominantly riding on recovering domestic demand and that this is largely as a result of short-term investment; points out that the fundamental problem facing the European economy in the last decade has been inadequate domestic demand attributable to a lack of confidence caused by unemployment; expresses concern as to how far a continual increase in investment and consumer expenditure, together with a sustained improvement in the employment situation, can be achieved to ensure that the mainly cyclical upswing will turn into a structural upward trend;
