I 1992 indførte EU et miljømærke, der fortæller forbrugerne, hvor miljøvenlige de ting, de køber, egentlig er .
You can help to bring wildlife back into urban areas. By growing native plants in your garden, you can attract birds, lizards, frogs and insects.
Mærket, der er udformet som en blomst, garanterer, at den pågældende vare er grønnere end andre varer af samme art på markedet.
Try to plant and encourage indigenous species imported plants can cause havoc; Japanese knotweed is a case in point.
Miljømærket gives til ting, der opfylder strenge kriterier for, hvordan disse ting påvirker miljøet lige fra fremstilling til anvendelse og bortskaffelse.
Remember that every tree you plant not only provides a home for wild animals but improves the quality of air around it.
Ordningen er blevet udvidet og omfatter nu også serviceydelser.
When you work in your garden, use eco-friendly products and avoid creosote and paints with high levels of volatile organic compounds. This will be shown on the label.
Det betyder bl.a., at det kontrolleres, hvordan campingpladser og andre overnatningssteder påvirker miljøet.
Beyond the back garden, parks and forests are just waiting to be explored – it is easier to recognise the value of something once you have experienced it first hand, so take your family out for a woodland or meadow picnic.
EU har desuden lanceret en række kampagner, herunder ordningen for grønne indkøb og ordningen for miljøledelse og miljørevision (EMAS), for at motivere erhvervslivet. Med ordningen for grønne indkøb vil EU gerne foregå med et godt eksempel ved at udstikke retningslinjer for, hvordan offentlige institutioner kan udvælge kontrahenter og leverandører som led i »grønne indkøb«.
If you have the time for more than a day out, think about the nature reserves which protect wilderness areas for the animals within them and the eco-saavy tourists who come to watch them.
offentlige myndigheder i Europa bruger ca. 16 % af EU’s BNP (værdien af den samlede økonomiske aktivitet).

If you don’t have a lavatory that is designed to use water efficiently, then put a brick or a filled and closed bottle in the cistern.
EU’s handlingsplan for dyrebeskyttelse og dyrevelfærd (2006-2010) består af en overordnet strategi og en række konkrete foranstaltninger, der skal forbedre dyrevelfærden.
This displaces the water level and causes less water to be used with every flush. A shower will use less water than a bath and a low-flow shower head makes an even greater difference.

©Corbis øge beskæftigelsen blandt unge og sikre, at mindst 85 % af alle 22-årige tager en ungdomsuddannelse.
Including everyone and making sure that each individual in our society has the means to contribute to their full ability is vital if we are to combat the challenges of poverty.
Fra 2007 bør alle unge, der er gået ud af skolen, inden for seks måneder tilbydes et job, en læreplads, mere uddannelse eller andre tiltag eller kvalifikationer, der forbedrer deres chancer for at finde et arbejde hjælpe handicappede med at komme i arbejde.
We need to value the contribution of everyone, regardless of age, gender, race, ethnic origin or disability.
EU har fastsat en række fonde, programmer og love for at opfylde disse mål.
Ensuring children are raised out of poverty, people embrace education and lifelong learning, and that pensions and other aspects of our welfare systems don’t just become fond memories – these are pieces of the jigsaw that makes up an inclusive society.
Fællesskabsprogrammet for beskæftigelse og solidaritet — Progress (2007-2013), som der er afsat 743 mio. € til, omhandler beskæftigelse, social sikring og social integration, arbejdsvilkår, bevarelse af forskellighed og bekæmpelse af forskelsbehandling og ligestilling mellem mænd og kvinder.
With 2007 designated the European Year of Equal Opportunities, a fundamental shift in the perception of some members of the public is required. Diversity is opportunity and it is high time we followed the lead of the most successful societies and embrace what are known as the three T’s: technology, tolerance and talent.
SOCIAL INKLUSION kompetencer og der med deres beskæftigelsesmuligheder.
The overall aim of social inclusion is to significantly reduce poverty by 2010.
I 2007 gik ESF ind i en ny fase, hvor den skal koncentreres om fire områder: forbedring af arbejdstageres, virksomheders og iværksætteres tilpasningsevne, forbedring af adgangen til beskæftigelse, styrkelse af social integrering og fremme af partnerskaber omkring reformer.
An ambitious goal since the number of people at risk of poverty is still high - in 2003, the average across the EU was 16%.
Foranstaltningerne iværksættes inden for rammerne af to af de tre nye målsætninger: konvergens, regional konkurrenceevne og beskæftigelse.
A report on cohesion in the EU concluded that the enlargement of the bloc to 25 countries, and subsequently to 27, presents an unprecedented challenge for the competitiveness and internal cohesion of the Union.

There is now a widening of the economic development gap.
EU har udtrykkeligt anerkendt ældres ret til at leve et værdigt og uafhængigt liv og til at deltage i samfunds- og kulturlivet.
The gulf between the 10% of the population living in the most prosperous regions and the same percentage living in the least prosperous ones has more than doubled compared with the situation in 2004.
For at sikre denne ret vil EU som led i den europæiske beskæftigelsesstrategi fremme livslang uddannelse og fleksibilitet i arbejdet.
According to Eurochild’s review Ending Child Poverty, one in five children within the EU are at risk, a situation which has only marginally improved over the last six years.
Politikken på socialsikringsområdet vil fokusere på, hvordan man kan vende udviklingen med hensyn til tidlig pensionering og udvikle bedre og mere fleksible pensionsordninger.
In Slovakia, 30% of children under 15 were at risk in 2004 in comparison with 9% in Denmark.
Der er flere mål med rammeprogrammet om solidaritet og forvaltning af migrationsstrømme for perioden 2007-2013.
One of the causes of this gap between rich and poor is unemployment.
Et af de vigtigste mål er at integrere lovlige indvandrere i samfundet.
The EU is facing serious problems in its labour markets with low participation among older workers, women and young people, and high unemployment within these groups.
Det skal ske gennem Den Europæiske Integrationsfond, derstøtter introduktionsprogrammer, øger indvandrernes deltagelse i værtssamfundet, styrker nationale organisationers kapacitet, så de kan imødekomme forskellige gruppers behov, og overvåger situationens udvikling ved at hjælpe EU-landene med at evaluere deres integrationspolitikker.
In view of globalisation, Europe’s ageing population and rather rigid labour legislation in many countries, the EU has high targets for job creation.
Fonden råder over 1,8 mia. € og udgør en del af ESF.
Throughout the EU unemployment fell slightly in 2007, from 8% to 7.1%.
At forhindre, at mennesker en der i fattigdom, er også et vigtigt led i EU’s målsætning om at sikre, at ingen hægtes af og udstødes af samfundet.
Young people are also at risk of poverty – an issue which the Youth Forum looked at in 2006.
I alle de lande, der er med i EU, er ungdomsarbejdsløsheden, især i indvandrerfamilier, dobbelt så høj som den samlede arbejdsløshed.
Their report, “Social Inclusion through Youth Participation” pointed out young people face many challenges which can prevent them from fully participating in society.
I 2004 var godt 18 % af alle unge uden arbejde.
They can’t vote and often can’t find work due to inexperience.
Unge fanges ofte i en ond cirkel af lav løn eller ingen løn.
The media frequently represent them as a threat to society.
EU opfordrer landene til at oprette flere lærepladser, øge støtten og tilbyde aktive alternativer til folk, der er arbejdsløse i kortere tid.
The logical progression from education to college, university or apprenticeship, followed by marriage, family and home is now eroded in many of our societies.
Programmerne er ofte rettet mod ugunstigt stillede områder.
Young people have more choices bringing both more freedom and more challenges.
For at gøre livet lettere for de studerende lægges der stor vægt på undervisernes og de studerendes ret til at færdes i hele Europa og på anerkendelse af kvalifikationer.
As with young people, women also face problems – not only in getting a job but also how they are treated once they have got one.
Program- mer som Socrates, Leonardo da Vinci og Youth sigter alle mod at hjælpe mennesker til at få en uddannelse.
A major factor for helping women into work is the provision of good childcare.
Alle har ret til at bidrage.
More mothers in the workforce generally spur the development of childcare facilities.
Handlingsplanen for lige muligheder for handicappede (2004-2010) sigter mod at fjerne hindringer i omgivelserne og tekniske og juridiske hindringer, som handicappede støder på, for at de også kan deltage fuldt ud i Europas fremtid.
According to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), of all EU countries, Sweden spends the most on formal day care - 2% of the country’s GDP.
Det sker gennem ESF og den europæiske beskæftigelsesstrategi.
This is in comparison to Finland’s public spending of 1.1%, and the UK’s 0.4%.
En af retningslinjerne i strategien har følgende formål: »at sikre rummelige arbejdsmarkeder, gøre det mere attraktivt at arbejde og sikre, at det for jobsøgende, herunder dårligt stillede, og ikkeerhvervsaktive betaler sig at arbejde«.
The Swedish system is more expensive, as it is the only system that caters for all children under 2.
EU har vedtaget et direktiv om forskelsbehandling, der indeholder generelle rammebestemmelser om ligebehandling med hensyn til beskæftigelse og erhverv, og som skal medvirke til, at handicappede deltager fuldt ud i samfundslivet.
As a result, almost 72% of Swedish mothers with young children are in employment, 52% in Finland, and 49% in the UK.

To maintain its working age group, Italy would need to start opening its doors to more than 350,000 immigrants per year or keep its citizens working until they are 75.
Vi kan også hjælpe indvandrere med at lære sproget i deres nye land.
But although we are all aiming for the same things, there is still too much prejudice and suspicion that prevents us from working together to make these hopes a reality throughout the EU.
Konversationsklasser er en måde at samle folk på, og du behøver ikke at være uddannet sproglærer for at få en gruppe mennesker til at sætte sig ned og snakke sammen.
To break down the barriers to progress and security we need to think again about how we view people around us.
