Høringen åbnedes af Charlie McCreevy, medlem af Europa-Kommissionen, og Elisa Ferreira, medlem af Europa-Parlamentet.
This incorporates a consultation process and aims to formulate proposals to improve financial services and insurance in terms of choice and consumer rights.
Kommissionsmedlem Charlie McCreevy fremhævede EØSU’s bidrag til revisionen af det indre marked. EØSU påpeger heri, at der skal være balance mellem økonomiske og sociale aspekter og bæredygtig udvikling, hvis det skal stå klart, at det indre marked ikke er en abstrakt størrelse, og at det er til gavn for EU’s borgere.
Commissioner McCreevy underscored the EESC’s contribution to the review of the single market, which advocated a balance between economic and social aspects and sustainable development to show that the single market is not an abstract concept and that it is at the service of Europeans.
Et sammenhængende og åbent EU, hvor borgernes mobilitet er sikret, er det rette svar på globaliseringsudfordringen.
A coherent and open Europe, characterised by the mobility of its citizens, is the appropriate response to the challenge of globalisation, he said.
Elisa Ferreira, medlem af Europa-Parlamentet, talte om de tre dynamiske principper, som fastlægges i EuropaParlamentets rapport om »Revision af det indre marked«, nemlig samarbejde, solidaritet og konkurrence.
Ms Ferreira, MEP, spoke about the three dynamic principles set out in Parliament’s report on the review on the single market: cooperation, solidarity and competition.
Hun mente, det var nødvendigt at gennemføre en revision af det indre marked og at rydde op i den eksisterende lovgivning, og understregede medlemsstaternes pligt til at gennemføre EU-lovgivningen ordentligt.
She believed that it was necessary to carry out a review of the single market and tidy up existing legislation, while stressing the proper implementation of Community legislation by Member States.
Charlie McCreevy nævnte desuden bestræbelserne på sammen med medlemsstaterne at gennemføre tjenesteydelsesdirektivets praktiske foranstaltninger inden udgangen af 2009.
The SMO president, Jorge Pegado Liz, spoke about the stages of European integration up to the new treaty which he felt called for particular vigilance as regards its impact on the functioning of the single market.
Han understregede nødvendigheden af samarbejde mellem de nationale forvaltninger om realisering af de forbedringer, direktivet indeholder.
He called on all stakeholders to rethink the principles of a single market for the future, with the participation and in the interests of all Europeans.
Formanden for EØSU’s markedsobservatorium, Jorge Pegado Liz, talte om den europæiske integrations faser op til den nye traktat.
Bernardo Hernández Bataller, president of the Section for the Single Market, Production and Consumption,
Han mente, at man måtte være særlig agtpågivende over for dennes indflydelse på det indre markeds funktionsmåde.
The Commissioner also referred to the efforts undertaken in conjunction with Member States to implement the practical measures set out in the services directive by the end of 2009.
Han opfordrede til en fornyet overvejelse af det fremtidige grundlag for det indre marked med inddragelse af alle EU’s borgere og i deres interesse.
He stressed that it was imperative to have cooperation between national administrations so that the improvements contained in the directive could be put into action.
Bernardo Hernandez Bataller, formand for Den Faglige Sektion for Det Indre Marked, Produktion og Forbrug,
He drew attention to disparities in market access, especially for workers from the new Member States, despite the fact that mobility is beneficial to both employment and wage trends.
I lyset af grønbogen fra maj 2007 fandt Charlie McCreevy, at detailsalg af finansielle tjenesteydelser var et klart
He was pleased that Portugal had lifted its restrictions in May 2006, and announced that an action plan for labour mobility would be presented by the end of the year.
Udvidelsen af det indre marked bør ikke ske på bekostning af de dårligt stillede borgere, mente Elisa Ferreira, og hun plæderede for en generalisering af oprindelseslandsprincippet.
The enlargement of the single market should not be detrimental to the interests of disadvantaged citizens, and Ms Ferreira argued for a generalisation of the principle of country of origin.
Hun beklagede de finansielle tjenesters mangel på gennemsigtighed og anbefalede årvågenhed over for borgernes rettigheder og konkurrence i forsikringssektoren.
She deplored the lack of transparency in financial services and emphasised vigilance as regards citizens’ rights and competition in the insurance sector.
Desuden fremhævede hun de små og mellemstore virksomheders rolle i konsolideringen af det europæiske område.
She also highlighted the role of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the consolidation of the European area.
Hun sluttede af med at fokusere på det indre markeds internationale dimension og på udfordringerne og forventningerne i forbindelse med konkurrencen med vækstøkonomierne.
Ms Ferreira concluded by drawing attention to the international dimension of the single market, and the challenges and expectations as regards competition with emerging economies.

Exhibition of Portuguese art at the EESC groups, and also called for the EU structural funds to be more responsive to small-scale but effective support structures at grass-roots level.
Medlemsstaterne, som er i færd med at blokere vedtagelsen af EU’s tiltag vedrørende rettigheder og vilkår inden for arbejdsretten, bedes revidere deres holdninger og opbygge en social dimension, der som led i Lissabon-strategien udgør et sidestykke til det indre marked.
Calls were made to Member States responsible for blocking the adoption of EU actions on rights and working conditions to review their positions and to build up a social dimension hand in hand with the internal market and as part of the Lisbon strategy.
På den offentlige høring af civilsamfundsgrupper om »Den svenske og den europæiske socialmodel: Supplerer de hinanden, eller er de indbyrdes modstridende?«, afholdt af EØSU og Kommissionen i Stockholm den 3. september 2007, blev det understreget, at udfordringen om social samhørighed i det europæiske postindustrielle samfund bør tages op både på nationalt og europæisk niveau.
A consultation of civil society groups on the topic of ‘Social Sweden and social Europe: complementary or contradictory?’, held by the EESC and the European Commission in Stockholm on 3 September 2007, highlighted the fact that the challenge of social cohesion in post-industrial European society must be met both at the national and European levels.
Det er nødvendigt at skabe en ny folkelig konsensus fra samfundets grundstamme, og der er behov for at udforme et nyt socialt handlingsprogram i EU, der kan være omdrejningspunkt for mere samordnet og effektiv handling.
A new participatory consensus, built up from grass-roots level, and a new European social action programme, acting as a reference point for combined and effective action, are needed.
Dette var hovedbudskabet fra mødet i Stockholm.
This was the main message of the meeting.
Kommissionens næstformand Margot Wallström lagde vægt på pligten til at gøre EU mere lydhør over for borgernes krav.
European Commission Vice-President Margot Wallström highlighted the need to ‘give the EU some ears’ to ensure that it paid closer attention to the demands of the public.
EØSU’s ordførere Jan Olsson og Ernst Erik Ehnmark understregede, at der både er behov for et nyt socialt EU-handlingsprogram og en ny europæisk socialmodel, som bedre tager højde for de samfundsmæssige prioriteter, og som nyorienterer den europæiske udvikling.
Meanwhile, the EESC rapporteurs Jan Olsson and Ernst Erik Ehnmark spelt out the need for a new European social action programme and a European social model, which could better identify societal priorities and give renewed direction to European developments.
Udstillingen »Udflytninger/fire samtidige portugisiske perspektiver«, der åbnede onsdag den 3. oktober, er blevet en stor succes.

Formanden for Den Faglige Sektion for Beskæftigelse, Sociale og Arbejdsmarkedsmæssige Spørgsmål og Borgerrettigheder, Brenda King, understregede afslutningsvis, at »det sociale Europa« skal »opbygges fra grunden, sten for sten«.
Brenda King, President of the EESC’s ‘Employment, social affairs and citizenship’ section, concluded that a social Europe needed to be constructed ‘bottom-up, piece by piece’.
EØSU kan få til opgave at videreformidle dette budskab og arrangere flere møder af samme slags med repræsentanter for borgerne. Møderne skal finde sted på det mest grundlæggende niveau »tættest på borgerne«.
The EESC could be entrusted to carry the message forward and to organise more such meetings at grass-roots level with civil society representatives, ‘close to the citizen’.

Professor Jouzel fremhævede den øgede drivhuseffekt og henledte opmærksomheden på menneskets rolle i denne udvikling.
Professor Jouzel highlighted the increase in the greenhouse effect and pointed out the role of human action in this change.
Han bemærkede, at de udviklede lande må sætte sig meget ambitiøse mål såsom en global reduktion af CO2-emissioner på 50 % inden 2020.
He noticed that very ambitious objectives had to be put forward by developed countries, such as a worldwide reduction of carbon dioxide emissions by 50 % by 2020.
Han sluttede af med at sige, at han var »glad for, at Europa har ført an« i miljø- og klimaændringsspørgsmål.
Mr Jouzel concluded by saying that he was ‘happy that Europe has taken the lead’ in environmental and climate change issues.
Jean Jouzel og Peter Bosch, to medlemmer af Det Mellemstatslige Panel om Klimaændringer (IPCC)
Jean Jouzel and Peter Bosch, members of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Professor Bosch bekræftede optimistisk, at det faktisk er muligt at reducere udledningen af drivshusgasser uden enorme omkostninger.
On 12 November 2007, the EESC held a seminar entitled ‘Communicating Europe: what role does civil society wish to play?’
Som eksempel nævnte han Californien, hvor man har sparet en stor mængde elektricitet til klimaanlæg blot ved at male hustagene hvide i stedet for sorte.
At this event, I stated clearly that ‘Communicating Europe’ is not a ‘mission impossible’.
Han opfordrede imidlertid til mere offentlig og privat investering i forskning og udvikling, da »nye teknologier ikke falder ned fra himlen«.
It is, however, a difficult task, given the complexity of the Union, its evolving nature and because perceptions of the European project vary and are, to a large extent, coloured by national history and circumstances.
Professor Zerefos pointerede, at der var gået mode i klimaændringsdebatter, og fremhævede det vigtige i at
Giving an optimistic tone to his speech, Professor Bosch affirmed that it was actually possible to reduce greenhouse gas emissions without enormous costs.
Den 24. oktober afholdt EØSU i forbindelse med sin plenarforsamling en offentlig høring om klimaændringer.
However, he called for more public and private investment in R & D as ‘new technologies do not come from the sky’. On 24 October the Committee held a special open plenary session on climate change.
Blandt talerne var tre fremtrædende videnskabsfolk: Professor Jean Jouzel og professor Peter Bosch, medlemmer af Det Mellemstatslige Panel om Klimaændringer, samt professor Christos Zerefos, bestyrelsesformand i det nationale meteorologiske observatorium i Athen og medlem af EØSU.
Among the speakers were three distinguished members of the scientific community: Professor Jean Jouzel and Professor Peter Bosch, members of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and Professor Christos Zerefos, President of the Board of Directors of the National Observatory in Athens and EESC member.
EØSU og det irske organiserede civilsamfund taler med de unge om Europas fremtid og reformtraktaten
EESC and Irish civil society consult young people on the future of Europe and the Reform Treaty
Jeg er enig med Kommissær Margot Wallström i, at alle deltagere i EU’s beslutningsproces har et ansvar for at kommunikere om EU-spørgsmål.
I agree with Commissioner Wallström that com- munication on EU issues is the responsibility of all those involved in the EU decision- making process.
For borgerne i medlemsstaterne er det fuldstændigt underordnet, hvilken institution der står som formidler. For dem er EU bare EU.
Citizens in the Member States do not care which institution is doing the communicating.
Desuden skal man være klar over, at EU ikke blot er Bruxelles.
Furthermore, one also has to understand that the EU is not only Brussels.
Det er ude i medlemsstaterne, at EU’s tilstedeværelse for alvor mærkes.
It is very much out there in the Member States that the EU is felt and is present.
EØSU har påbegyndt sin behandling af Kommissionens nyligt udsendte meddelelse »Partnerskab om formidling af EU«.
The EESC has commenced its work on its response to the recently published European Commission paper entitled ‘Communicating Europe in partnership’.
I vores kommende udtalelse vil jeg bekræfte, at EØSU og civilsamfundets organisationer spiller en nøglerolle i formidlingen af EU-spørgsmål.
In our forthcoming opinion, I will be confirming that the EESC and civil society organisations have a key role in communicating Europe.

Seán Haughey, viceminister, Ministeriet for Uddannelse og Videnskab, hilste deltagerne velkommen og understregede deres »afgørende rolle for Irlands og hele Europas fortsatte vækst og udvikling«.
Sean Haughey TD, Minister of State at the Department of Education, welcomed the participants as ‘vital to both Ireland’s and Europe’s continued growth and development’.
Mit hovedbudskab til civilsamfundets repræsentanter er både nu og fremover: gå ind på det lokale niveau, decentraliser debatten, lyt til folk og tal med dem om deres problemer på deres eget sprog, og ikke med vores EU-jargon.
My main message to the representatives of civil society is for both now and the future: go local, decentralise the debate, listen to the people and talk in their language about their problems, not in our own Brussels jargon.
Deltagerne delte sig i fire arbejdsgrupper om reformtraktaten, aktivt medborgerskab, beskæftigelse og uddannelse, som blev ledet af Vladimira Drbalova, Jane Morrice, Tomasz Czajkowski og Jonathan Peel, alle medlemmer af EØSU.
Participants met in four workshops on the Reform Treaty, active citizenship, employment, and education, hosted by EESC members Ms Drbalova, Ms Morrice, Mr Czajkowski and Mr Peel.
Om eftermiddagen samledes alle deltagerne igen til et møde ledet af Eileen Dunne, speaker i det irske fjernsyn, hvor arbejdsgruppernes resultater blev fremlagt og analyseret.
The afternoon was devoted to a plenary session, moderated by Irish TV presenter Eileen Dunne, in which the results from the workshops were presented and discussed.
Først da kan vi bevise over for borgerne, at EØSU virkelig slår bro mellem EU og det organiserede civilsamfund!
Only then can we prove to citizens that the EESC is indeed the bridge between Europe and organised civil society!
Derudover fremsatte deltagerne konkrete forslag om, hvordan man i højere grad kan inddrage de unge, udbrede frivilligt arbejde og give de unge større chancer på arbejdsmarkedet gennem bedre uddannelse.
Jillian van Turnhout, EESC Vice-President and Chief Executive of the Irish Children’s Rights Alliance, called upon decision-makers to ‘listen to young people, ask what they need, then act upon it’.

While the discussion on the Reform Treaty touched upon questions of national and European identity, participants made specific proposals on how to enhance youth participation, upgrade voluntary service and enhance the chances of young people on the job market through better education.
