Jeg er imponeret over oprigtigheden og kvaliteten af borgernes indlæg. EØSU burde overveje oere at trække på EU-borgeres spontane viden,« forklarede Stephane Buetaut (Gruppe I, Arbejdsgiverne, Frankrig), næstformand for EØSU’s Faglige Sektion for Transport, Energi, Infrastruktur og Informationssamfundet.
EESC members welcomed the direct consultation with citizens and encouraged the committee to continue working with this format: ‘is project is an excellent example of the value added by layperson expertise. e sincerity and quality of the citizens’ statements impress me. e EESC should consider drawing more oen on the lay expertise of European citizens’ explained Stephane Buet-aut (Group I, Employers, France), Vice-President of the EESC’s Section for Transport, Energy, Infrastructure and Information Society.
Rafael Barbadillo (Gruppe I, Arbejdsgiverne, Spanien), medordfører for EØSU’s udtalelse om grønbogen »På vej mod en ny kultur for mobilitet i byer«, understregede, at en høring af borgerne kan give EØSU’s udtalelser mere vægt. »Borgerne bekræer, hvad EØSU anbefaler i sin udtalelse: en priori-

Lutz Ribbe (Gruppe III, Andre Interesser, Tyskland), ordfører for EØSU’s udtalelse om transport i by- og storbyområder, understregede værdien af borgerpanelet: »Ingen kan beskylde denne gruppe af borgere fra forskellige lande, forskellige aldersgrupper og forskellige samfundslag for at være partiske.
Also Lutz Ribbe (Group III, Various Interests, Germany), rapporteur of the EESC’s opinion on transport in urban and metropolitan areas, underlined the value of citizens’ panels: ‘No one can accuse this group of citizens from dier-ent countries, of various ages and from dierent layers of society of being biased. So I think they send a strong message to all EU institutions.
Derfor tror jeg, at de har sendt et kraigt signal til alle EU-institutioner.
We must keep this in mind in our choices as consumers, as politicians and as responsible citizens’.
Vi må holde os dette for øje i de valg, vi træer som forbrugere, politikere og ansvarlige borgere.« Stanislaw Rozycky (Gruppe II, Arbejdstagerne, Polen) gav ham ret: »Denne erfaring er vigtig både for borgerne og EU- institutionerne, herunder EØSU.«Han understregede også, hvor vigtige resultaterne af dette projekt er for de nye EU-medlemsstater: »Mange borgere i mit hjemland og i andre nye medlemsstater kan stadig huske, hvor meget de oentlige transportmidler gennem mange år fyldte i trakbilledet.
Stanislaw Rozycki (Group II, Employees, Poland) conrmed ‘is experience is important both for citizens and for European institutions, including the EESC’. He also stressed the importance of the project’s outcome for the new EU Member States: ‘Many citizens in my country as in other new Mem- ber States still recall the high share of public transport we have had for a long time.
Vi må udnytte dette potentiale.«Nærmere oplysninger om projektet »MOVE TOGETHER« kan findes på hjemmesiden:http://www.move-together.netnull

More importantly, he added, they constituted a political body of growing importance, the very existence of which ‘could not be changed by any external decision.’

EESC info presents you with the very first article about the Committee published by the Brussels press agency Agence Europe in 1958.
BRUXELLES (EU), den 19. maj 1958 — Det Økonomiske og Sociale Udvalg under De Europæiske Fællesskaber (EØF og Euratom) blev i dag oprettet på et formelt møde i det belgiske senats bygning.
Speaking on behalf of the Euratom Commission, its Vice-President, Mr Medi, stressed the importance of atomic energy for the future of mankind and the sig-nicant lack of energy resources, stating that it was already pos- sible to produce nuclear energy at a competitive price.
Repræsentanter fra regeringer og de europæiske institutioner deltog. […]
Representatives from governments and the European institutions were in attendance. [...]
Professor Hallstein, formand for Det Europæiske Økonomiske
Lastly, Mr H. van Leeuwen, the Committee’s oldest member, thanked the Belgian government and Senate: the Committee would defend its independence and build
Fællesskabs Kommission, holdt en vidtspændende tale, hvori han ikke blot understregede udvalgets rolle (af særlig betydning i en overgangsperiode, som tvang nationale økonomier til at tilpasse sig den nye status quo), men desuden oplyste, hvordan Kommissionen betragtede udvalget: Kommissionen gjorde hyppigt brug af sin ret til at indkalde udvalget for at høre dets holdning (skønt der fandtes specialistafdelinger i udvalget, understregede han, at sådanne brede høringer var af væsentlig betydning): »Vi har ret til, sagde Professor Hallstein, at antage, at Det Økonomiske og Sociale Udvalg ikke kun vil engagere sig i at fremlægge løbende og opdaterede vurderinger af den økonomiske situation, men frem for alt vil tage ansvaret for at udtænke langsigtede programmer.« Kom- del af traktaten, som ikke lægger op til en eller anden form for samarbejde med ØSU.« I praksis, bemærkede han, ville Kommissionen tilsende ØSU kopier af sine udkast til afgørelser, når de var blevet udarbejdet, idet han tilføjede, at »Kommissionen vil betragte ØSU’s stemme som et afgørende missionen viste særlig interesse i sådanne programmer: Takket være ØSU ville det få kendskab til fabriksdirektørers, landbrugeres og arbejderes synspunkter.
> > > page 4 Professor Hallstein, President of the EEC Commission, gave a wide-ranging speech, in which he not only emphasised the role of the Committee (particularly important during a transition period which was forcing national economies to adapt to the new status quo) but also provided more information about how the Commission viewed the Committee: the Commission made frequent use of its right to convene the Committee to ask for its opinion (despite the existence of specialist sections within the Committee, he stressed the broad integral nature of such consultations): ‘We are entitled, said Mr Hallstein, to assume that the Economic and Social Committee will not only be involved in providing daily and up-to-date assessments of the economic situation, but will above all be responsible for devising longterm programmes.’ e Commission showed a particular interest in such programmes: thanks to the Committee, it would be able to learn the opinions of factory directors, farmers and workers. Aer outlining a detailed list of the Committee’s tasks, the Commission President said: ‘As this list shows, there is hardly any part of the Treaty which does not foresee some form of cooperation with the Committee.’
Eer at have opridset en udførlig liste over ØSU’s opgaver fastslog Kommissionens formand: »Som denne liste viser, er der næppe nogen
In practice, he noted, the Commission would send the Committee copies of its dra decisions aer they had been drawn up, adding that ‘the Committee’s vote will be considered to be a vital part of the debate by the Commission.’ Mr Hallstein’s concluding remarks

Dearreader, reader,
Vi står over for en afgørende fase i kampen mod klimaændringerne.
We are approaching a decisive moment in the fight against climate change.
Intensive internationale forhandlinger er i gang for at forberede en ambitiøs FN-aale, der skal underskrives næste år i København.
Intense international negotiations are currently under way in order to prepare an ambitious UN agreement, to be concluded in Copenhagen next year.
EU har hidtil udvist stærkt lederskab på området, og civilsamfundet har en væsentlig rolle at spille i denne forbindelse.
So far, the EU has shown strong leadership, and civil society has an important role to play in the fight against climate change.
For at kunne inuere på debatten i de øvrige EU-institutioner måtte udvalget sørge for i tide at formulere en velunderbygget stillingtagen til klimapakken.
To be able to influence the debate in the other EU institutions, the Committee has had to come up with a well-founded position on the climate package in good time.
Og det lykkedes!
And we have succeeded!
På julisamlingen blev der vedtaget tre udtalelser, og på septembersamlingen står endnu et antal udtalelser på dagsordenen.
Aer the adoption of three opinions at the July plenary, we will now adopt our last opinions on the package at this September plenary.
Takket være et snævert samarbejde mellem ordførerne og sektionerne har vi hver gang kunnet levere et klart og sammenhængende budskab: stærk støtte til hovedparten af klimapakken, dens målsætninger og midlerne til at nå disse.
It is worth noting that, through close coordination between rapporteurs and sections, our message remains clear and coherent: strong support for the major thrust of the package, its targets and the means to achieve them.
Naturligvis har vi også ha kritiske bemærkninger til visse forslag i pakken.
We have not, of course, been uncritical about all of the proposals made in the package.
F.eks. målet om en biobrændstofandel på 10%, som viste sig kontroversiel såvel i udvalget som andre steder.
For example, the 10 % biofuels target proved controversial, in the Committee as elsewhere.
Som gæstetaler på plenarforsamlingen den 10. juli 2008 fremhævede Jacques Dermagne, formand for det franske økonomiske og sociale råd, først det tætte samarbejde mellem det franske økonomiske og sociale råd og Det Europæiske Økonomiske og Sociale Udvalg — »et samarbejde, der er både snævert og veletableret«.
Addressing the plenary session of 10 July 2008, Jacques Dermagne, president of the French Economic and Social Council, first stressed the close cooperation between the French Economic and Social Council and the European Economic and Social Committee: ‘cooperation that is as close as it is longstanding’.
I lyset af det franske formandskabs prioriteringer mindede han om, at Europa er det eneste udviklede kontinent, som har kunnet nedbringe sine drivhusgasemissioner og reducere luforureningen, uden at det er gået ud over velstanden. Det franske formandskab ønsker at bidrage til en bedre sikring af energiforsyningen i Europa ved at fremme en bedre styring af energiforbruget og ved i solidaritetens ånd at styrke EU’s udenrigspolitik på energiområdet.
Regarding the French presidency’s priorities, he pointed out that Europe is the only developed continent to have reduced its greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution without sacrificing its prosperity. e French presidency intended to help increase European energy security, by fostering more sustainable energy consumption and, in the same spirit of collective responsibility, strengthening EU foreign policy on energy.
Fremover kan Økonomi-, Social- og Miljørådet høres både af parlamentet (Senatet eller Nationalforsamlingen) og i form af et befolkningsinitiativ.
We are presently in the process of EMAS-certifying our office buildings in order to improve our own environmental impact.
Jacques Dermagne anerkendte, at dette nye tiltag ville bringe borgerne tættere på deres institutioner.
In terms of international affairs, the other priority for the future will be to encourage countries which do not yet have an ESC to set one up, thus contributing to their prosperity and economic development.
EØSU er selv gået aktivt ind i spørgsmålet om den globale opvarmning.
Henceforth, the Economic, Social and Environmental Council can also be consulted by both Parliament (Senate or National Assembly) and by public petition.
Vi er for tiden ved at opnå EMAS-certicering af vore kontorbygninger for at mindske vort eget miljøaryk.
Jacques Dermagne acknowledged that this new measure will bring the public closer to their institutions.
Det franske økonomiske og sociale råd får et nyt look: Med forfatningsændringen udvides dets beføjelser, og dets navn moderniseres
e French ESC is revamped: the constitutional reform extends its remit and gives it a name more in keeping with its work today
Lige siden min udnævnelse til formand for udvalget har klimaændringerne stået øverst på dagsordenen for min mandatperiode.
From the outset of my nomination as President of this Committee, I made climate change the top priority of my mandate.
Det glæder mig, at der ved periodens udløb vil foreligge flere overbevisende udtalelser om energi- og klimaændringspakken, og jeg er sikker på, at denne pakke af foranstaltninger vil være central i kampen mod den globale opvarmning.
I am pleased that my Presidency will draw to an end with the presentation of a convincing set of opinions on the energy and climate change package, a package which is, I have no doubt, of key importance in the fight against global warming.
Endelig påpegede Jacques Dermagne betydningen af det arbejde, som medlemsstaternes økonomiske og sociale råd har udført sammen med Det Europæiske Økonomiske og Sociale Udvalg, og slog til lyd for, at dette arbejde fortsættes i fremtiden.
Mr Dermagne then stressed the importance of the work carried out jointly by members of the network of EU Member States’ ESCs and called for this form of cooperation to be continued.
Yderligere mål: oprettelse af økonomiske og sociale råd i lande uden netværk af organisationer
Aer Jacques Dermagne’s address, EESC members took the floor.
Eer Jacques Dermagnes tale var der indlæg fra medlemmer af EØSU. Henri Malosse takkede Jacques Dermagne, som han betegnede som en stor fortaler for Europa.
is fight can only be won if there is joint global action.
Jacques Dermagne svarede, at det var de økonomiske og sociale råds opgave at være talerør for borgerne, og at der fortsat måtte oprettes nye regionale økonomiske og sociale råd med henblik på at stille værdifuld ekspertise til rådighed for de lokale aktører.
It will be the first time that we will address this vital issue at the level of organised civil society on such an international scale, involving organisations from key regions.
Som led i de annoncerede reformer har det franske økonomiske og sociale råd ændret navn. Det har siden Kongressens vedtagelse af lovforslaget om forfatningsændring den 21. juli 2008 heddet Økonomi-, Social- og Miljørådet og har hermed udvidet sine kompetencer.
e reforms announced include a change of name for the French Economic and Social Council, which has become the Economic, Social and Environmental Council following the adoption by the Congress of the constitutional reform bill on 21 July 2008. is bill also extends the Council’s remit.
Jacques Dermagne pointerede, at »forfatningsændringen anerkenderdetarbejde, der allerede er udført af rådet på miljøområdet.«
For Jacques Dermagne, ‘the constitutional reform recognises henceforth the importance of the work already accomplished by the
Denne kamp kan kun vindes, hvis vi alle yder et bidrag. Jeg har derfor foreslået vore partnerorganisationer i Folkerepublikken Kina og Indien, som vi to gange om året har rundbordssamtaler med, at der aoldes et fælles EU/Asien-forum om klimaændringerne i New Delhi i 2009. Det kinesiske økonomiske og sociale råd har allerede givet sin tilslutning til mit forslag.
EESC President Dimitris Dimitriadis paid tribute to Mr Dermagne as a truly inspirational European. ●
Det vil være første gang, at dette fundamentale spørgsmål bliver behandlet af det organiserede civilsamfund på et så internationalt niveau og med deltagelse af organisationer fra så væsentlige regioner.
Looking back, how do you see your 10-year term of office as Secretary-General of the EESC?
Formanden, Dimitris Dimitriadis, roste Jacques Dermagne som en meget engageret talsmand for Europa.

Den 2. juli blev der aoldt et møde på højt plan i Regionsudvalget om »Reformpakken vedrørende telekommunikation«.
A high-level meeting was held on 2 July at the Committee of the Regions on changes to the telecoms reform package. e package encompasses the various reforms of the regulatory framework for EU electronic communications networks proposed by the Commission: this sector includes, in particular, fixed voice, mobile and broadband.
Pakken indeholder de forskellige reformer vedrørende rammebestemmelserne for elektroniske kommunikationsnet i EU som foreslået af Kommissionen.
Over the past 10 years, the European Economic and Social Committee has already dealt with issues related to electronic communications in 15 or so opinions, as Mr János Tóth (Group III, Various Interests, Hungary) pointed out during the debate.
Vi minder om, at elektronisk kommunikation navnlig indbefatter fastnettelefoni samt mobil- og bredbåndskommunikation.
In those opinions, the EESC advocated the
Det Europæiske Økonomiske og Sociale Udvalg har de seneste ti år allerede behandlet temaet elektronisk kommunikation i ca. femten udtalelser, hvilket János Tóth (Gruppe III, Andre Interesser, Ungarn) anførte under debatten.
Furthermore, the EESC is concerned that none of the provisions regarding a consultation mechanism on universal service in Member States to protect consumer interests refer to the involvement of organised civil society in the process leading to adoption by the competent supranational bodies in the EU.
