Having regard to the observations made by Lithuania,
ob upoštevanju pripomb, ki jih je predložila Litva,
The excessive deficit procedure (EDP) under Article 104 of the Treaty, as clarified by Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure [1], which is part of the Stability and Growth Pact, provides for a decision on the existence of an excessive deficit.
Postopek v zvezi s čezmernim primanjkljajem iz člena 104 Pogodbe, kot je pojasnjen v Uredbi Sveta (ES) št. 1467/97 z dne 7. julija 1997 o pospešitvi in razjasnitvi izvajanja postopka v zvezi s čezmernim primanjkljajem [1], ki je del Pakta za stabilnost in rast, določa odločitev o obstoju čezmernega primanjkljaja.
In this way, the Stability and Growth Pact provides the framework supporting government policies for a prompt return to sound budgetary positions taking account of the economic situation.
Na ta način Pakt za stabilnost in rast zagotavlja okvir, ki podpira politike vlad za hitro ponovno vzpostavitev trdnega proračunskega stanja, pri tem pa upošteva gospodarske razmere.
Having taken into account its report in accordance with Article 104(3) of the Treaty and having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Financial Committee in accordance with Article 104(4), the Commission concluded that an excessive deficit exists in Lithuania.
Komisija je na podlagi svojega poročila po členu 104(3) Pogodbe in mnenja Ekonomsko-finančnega odbora po členu 104(4) ugotovila, da v Litvi obstaja čezmerni primanjkljaj.
The Commission therefore addressed such an opinion to the Council in respect of Lithuania on 24 June 2009 [3].
Komisija je zato 24. junija 2009 Svetu predložila zadevno mnenje v zvezi z Litvo [3].
In the case of Lithuania, this overall assessment leads to the conclusion set out in this Decision.
V primeru Litve je Svet na podlagi te celovite ocene prišel do ugotovitve v tej odločbi.
According to EDP notification by the Lithuanian authorities, the general government deficit in Lithuania reached 3,2 % of GDP in 2008, thus exceeding the 3,0 % of GDP reference value.
Po podatkih iz obvestila litvanskih oblasti o postopku v zvezi s čezmernim primanjkljajem je javnofinančni primanjkljaj Litve v letu 2008 dosegel 3,2 % BDP in tako presegel referenčno vrednost 3 % BDP.
The deficit was close to the 3,0 % of GDP reference value but the excess over the reference value cannot be qualified as exceptional within the meaning of the Treaty and of the Stability and Growth Pact.
Primanjkljaj je bil blizu referenčne vrednosti 3 % BDP, vendar preseganje referenčne vrednosti ne more veljati za izjemno v smislu Pogodbe ter Pakta za stabilnost in rast.
According to the Commission services’ spring 2009 forecast, taking into account measures for the current year in the budget for 2009 and in the supplementary budget adopted by Parliament in May 2009, the deficit would widen to 5,4 % of GDP in 2009, and on a no-policy-change assumption, to worsen further to 8,0 % of GDP in 2010.
V skladu z napovedjo služb Komisije iz pomladi 2009 ter ob upoštevanju ukrepov za tekoče leto v proračunu za leto 2009 in dodatnem proračunu, ki ga je parlament sprejel maja, se naj bi primanjkljaj leta 2009 povečal na 5,4 % BDP in se nato leta 2010 ob nespremenjeni politiki še poslabšal na 8,0 % BDP.
In accordance with the Stability and Growth Pact, due consideration should be given to systemic pension reforms introducing a multi-pillar system that includes a mandatory, fully funded pillar.
V skladu s Paktom za stabilnost in rast je treba ustrezno upoštevati reforme pokojninskega sistema, ki uvajajo večstebrni sistem. Ta vključuje obvezen, v celoti naložbeni pokojninski steber.
While the implementation of these reforms leads to a temporary deterioration of the budgetary position, the long-term sustainability of public finances clearly improves.
Medtem ko je posledica izvajanja teh reform začasno poslabšanje proračunskega stanja, je dolgoročna vzdržnost javnih financ občutno boljša.
Based on the estimates of the Lithuanian authorities, the net costs of this reform amount to 1,0 % of GDP in 2008, and due to the temporary reduction of contributions from 5,5 % to 2,0 %, 0,5 % in 2009 and 0,4 % in 2010.
Na podlagi ocen litovskih organov so neto stroški te reforme leta 2008 znašali 1,0 % BDP, zaradi začasnega zmanjšanja prispevkov s 5,5 % na 2,0 % pa naj bi se zmanjšali na 0,5 % leta 2009 in na 0,4 % leta 2010.
According to the Stability and Growth Pact, these can be taken into account on a linear degressive basis for a transitory period and only where the deficit remains close to the reference value.
V skladu s Paktom za stabilnost in rast se stroški lahko upoštevajo na linearno degresivni osnovi za prehodno obdobje in le, če primanjkljaj ostaja blizu referenčne vrednosti.
For 2008, which is the only year in which the deficit can be considered close to the reference value, taking into account the net cost of the reform would produce an adjusted deficit of 2,6 % of GDP.
V letu 2008, ki je edino leto, v katerem se za primanjkljaj lahko šteje, da je blizu referenčne vrednosti, naj bi prilagojeni primanjkljaj od upoštevanju neto stroškov reforme znašal 2,6 % BDP.
For 2009 and 2010, on the other hand, the deficit forecast by the Commission services is no longer close to the reference value and, therefore, the cost of the pension reform cannot be taken into account.
Po drugi strani pa primanjkljaj, ki ga službe Komisije napovedujejo za leti 2009 in 2010, ni več blizu referenčne vrednosti in se zato stroški pokojninske reforme ne morejo upoštevati.
In the case of Lithuania, this double condition is not met.
V primeru Litve ta dvojni pogoj ni izpolnjen.
From an overall assessment, it follows that an excessive deficit exists in Lithuania.
Iz celovite ocene sledi, da v Litvi obstaja čezmerni primanjkljaj.

In particular, it did not result from a severe economic downturn in 2008, when GDP growth declined to 3,0 % in 2008 from 8,9 % in 2007.
Predvsem primanjkljaj ni bil posledica resnega gospodarskega upada v letu 2008, ko se je rast BDP z 8,9 % leta 2007 znižala na 3,0 %.
This annual average growth figure alone does not allow the 2008 deficit to be qualified as exceptional.
Zgolj zaradi tega letnega povprečja rasti primanjkljaja za leto 2008 ni mogoče razumeti kot izjemnega.
General government gross debt remains well below the 60 % of GDP reference value and stood at 15,6 % of GDP in 2008.
Bruto javnofinančni dolg je bil leta 2008 15,6 % BDP, torej veliko pod referenčno vrednostjo 60 % BDP.
It is, nevertheless, according to the Commission services’ spring 2009 forecast, projected to rise rapidly to 22,6 % of GDP in 2009 and to 31,9 % in 2010 mainly due to expected high primary deficits.
Kljub temu se na podlagi napovedi služb Komisije iz pomladi 2009 predvideva, da se bo hitro povečal na 22,6 % BDP v letu 2009 in na 31,9 % BDP v letu 2010, predvsem zaradi pričakovanega visokega primarnega primanjkljaja.
Having regard to the observations made by Poland,
ob upoštevanju pripomb, ki jih je predložila Poljska,
According to Article 104 of the Treaty Member States shall avoid excessive government deficits.
V skladu s členom 104 Pogodbe se države članice izogibajo čezmernemu javnofinančnemu primanjkljaju.
Having taken into account its report in accordance with Article 104(3) of the Treaty and having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Financial Committee in accordance with Article 104(4) of the Treaty, the Commission concluded that an excessive deficit exists in Poland.
Komisija je na podlagi svojega poročila po členu 104(3) Pogodbe in mnenja Ekonomsko-finančnega odbora po členu 104(4) Pogodbe ugotovila, da na Poljskem obstaja čezmerni primanjkljaj.
The Commission therefore addressed such an opinion to the Council in respect of Poland on 24 June 2009 [3].
Komisija je zato 24. junija 2009 Svetu predložila zadevno mnenje v zvezi s Poljsko [3].
In the case of Poland, this overall assessment leads to the conclusion set out in this Decision.
V primeru Poljske je Svet na podlagi te celovite ocene prišel do ugotovitev v tej odločbi.
According to the April 2009 EDP notification by the Polish authorities, subsequently validated by Eurostat, the general government deficit in Poland reached 3,9 % of GDP in 2008, thus exceeding the 3 % of GDP reference value.
V skladu z obvestilom o postopku v zvezi s čezmernim primanjkljajem, ki so ga aprila 2009 predložili poljski organi in jih je nato potrdil Eurostat, je javnofinančni primanjkljaj Poljske v letu 2008 dosegel 3,9 % BDP in tako presegel referenčno vrednost 3 % BDP.
Despite growth slowing down to 3,3 % year-on-year in the last quarter of 2008, which affected revenue collection in the last quarter of the year and added to the worse-than-expected deficit outcome, overall GDP growth was still relatively robust at 4,9 % in 2008.
Poleg tega ni posledica resnega upada gospodarske rasti leta 2008 v smislu Pogodbe in Pakta za stabilnost in rast. Kljub temu, da se je letna rast v zadnjem četrtletju leta 2008 upočasnila na 3,3 %, kar je vplivalo na pobiranje prihodkov v zadnjem četrtletju leta in prispevalo k rezultatu, ki je bil slabši od pričakovanega, je bila splošna rast BDP leta 2008 še vedno relativno stabilna in je znašala 4,9 %.
Potential GDP growth is estimated to be of the order of 4 ½ % and the output gap to have reached about 3 ½ % of potential GDP, indicating favourable cyclical conditions.
Ocenjuje se, da bo rast potencialnega BDP znašala 4,5 %, proizvodna vrzel pa bo dosegla približno 3,5 % potencialnega BDP, kar kaže na ugodne ciklične razmere.
Furthermore, the excess over the reference value cannot be considered temporary.
Poleg tega ni mogoče reči, da je preseganje referenčne vrednosti začasno.
General government gross debt remains below the 60 % of GDP reference value and stood at 47,1 % of GDP in 2008.
Bruto javnofinančni dolg je leta 2008 znašal 47,1 % BDP, torej je bil pod referenčno vrednostjo 60 % BDP.
However, due to high expected deficits, the general government debt is likely to reach almost 60 % on a no-policy-change assumption in 2010 according to the Commission’s spring 2009 forecast.
Vendar pa bo zaradi pričakovanega visokega primanjkljaja po napovedi služb Komisije iz pomladi 2009 javni dolg leta 2010 najverjetneje dosegel skoraj 60 %.
In accordance with the Stability and Growth Pact, due consideration should be given to systemic pension reforms introducing a multi-pillar system that includes a mandatory, fully-funded pillar.
V skladu s Paktom za stabilnost in rast bi bilo treba ustrezno upoštevati reforme pokojninskega sistema, ki uvajajo večstebrni sistem. Ta vključuje obvezen, v celoti naložbeni pokojninski steber.
Based on the estimates of the Polish authorities, the net cost of this reform amounted to 2,9 % of GDP in 2008, rising to 3,2 % of GDP in 2009, as recalled by the Polish authorities in their letter of 22 June.
Na podlagi ocen poljskih organov, kar so poljski organi potrdili z dopisom z dne 22. junija, so neto stroški te reforme leta 2008 znašali 2,9 % BDP, leta 2009 pa so se povišali na 3,2 % BDP.
Since the deficit does not remain close to the reference value in 2008-2010, the cost of the pension reform cannot be taken into account.
Ker primanjkljaj v obdobju 2008–2010 ne ostaja blizu referenčne vrednosti, stroškov pokojninske reforme ni mogoče upoštevati.
In the case of Poland, this double condition is not met.
V primeru Poljske dvojni pogoj ni izpolnjen.
From an overall assessment, it follows that an excessive deficit exists in Poland.
Iz celovite ocene sledi, da na Poljskem obstaja čezmerni primanjkljaj.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Poland.
To odločba je naslovljena na Republiko Poljsko.

Letter from Finance Minister Mr Rostowski to Commissioner Almunia.
Dopis ministra za finance Rostowskega komisarju Almunii.
Moreover, it does not result from a severe economic downturn in the sense of the Treaty and of the Stability and Growth Pact.
Zlasti primanjkljaj ni posledica izrednega dogodka v smislu Pogodbe ter Pakta za stabilnost in rast.
According to the Commission services’ spring 2009 forecast, the general government deficit is expected to reach 6,6 % of GDP in 2009 and, on a no-policy-change assumption, 7,3 % in 2010 against a GDP contraction of 1,4 % in 2009 and GDP growth of 0,8 % in 2010.
V skladu z napovedjo služb Komisije iz pomladi 2009 naj bi javnofinančni primanjkljaj dosegel 6,6 % BDP leta 2009 in ob nespremenjeni politiki 7,3 % leta 2010, medtem ko naj bi se BDP zmanjšal za 1,4 % leta 2009 in povečal za 0,8 % leta 2010.
The deficit will increase in 2009 also according to the Polish authorities which, on 22 June 2009, announced that the general government deficit may significantly exceed the 4,6 % of GDP planned for the current year in the Spring 2009 EDP notification [4].
Primanjkljaj se bo leta 2009 povečal tudi po mnenju poljskih organov, ki so 22. junija 2009 v obvestilu o postopku v zvezi s čezmernim primanjkljajem iz pomladi 2009 napovedali, da lahko javnofinančni primanjkljaj močno preseže 4,6 % BDP, ki je bil načrtovan za tekoče leto [4].
The deficit was not close to the 3 % of GDP reference value and the excess over the reference value cannot be qualified as exceptional within the meaning of the Treaty and of the Stability and Growth Pact. In particular, it does not result from an unusual event within the meaning of the Treaty and of the Stability and Growth Pact.
Primanjkljaj ni bil blizu referenčne vrednosti 3 % BDP in preseganje referenčne vrednosti ne more veljati za izjemno v smislu Pogodbe ter Pakta za stabilnost in rast.
on the existence of an excessive deficit in Romania
o obstoju čezmernega primanjkljaja v Romuniji
The Stability and Growth Pact is based on the objective of sound government finances as a means of strengthening the conditions for price stability and for strong sustainable growth conducive to employment creation.
Pakt za stabilnost in rast temelji na cilju zdravih javnih financ kot sredstvu za izboljšanje pogojev za stabilnost cen in močno trajnostno rast, ki pospešuje ustvarjanje delovnih mest.
In this way, the Stability and Growth Pact provides the framework supporting government policies for a prompt return to sound budgetary positions taking account of the economic situation.
Na ta način Pakt za stabilnost in rast zagotavlja okvir, ki podpira politike vlad za hitro ponovno vzpostavitev stabilnega proračunskega položaja, pri tem pa upošteva gospodarske razmere.
Having taken into account its report in accordance with Article 104(3) of the Treaty and having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Financial Committee in accordance with Article 104(4) of the Treaty, the Commission concluded that an excessive deficit exists in Romania.
Komisija je na podlagi svojega poročila po členu 104(3) Pogodbe in mnenja Ekonomsko-finančnega odbora po členu 104(4) Pogodbe ugotovila, da v Romuniji obstaja čezmerni primanjkljaj.
The Commission therefore addressed such an opinion to the Council in respect of Romania on 13 May 2009 [3].
Komisija je zato 13. maja 2009 Svetu predložila zadevno mnenje v zvezi z Romunijo [3].
In the case of Romania, this overall assessment leads to the conclusion set out in this Decision.
V primeru Romunije je Svet na podlagi te celovite ocene prišel do ugotovitve v tej odločbi.
According to the April 2009 EDP notification by the Romanian authorities, subsequently validated by Eurostat, the general government deficit in Romania reached 5,4 % of GDP in 2008, thus exceeding the 3 % of GDP reference value.
V skladu z obvestilom o postopku v zvezi s čezmernim primanjkljajem, ki so ga aprila 2009 predložili romunski organi in ga je nato potrdil Eurostat, je javnofinančni primanjkljaj Romunije v letu 2008 dosegel 5,4 % BDP in tako presegel referenčno vrednost 3 % BDP.
The deficit was not close to the 3 % of GDP reference value and the excess over the reference value cannot be qualified as exceptional within the meaning of the Treaty and of the Stability and Growth Pact.
Primanjkljaj ni bil blizu referenčne vrednosti 3 % BDP in preseganje referenčne vrednosti ne more veljati za izjemno v smislu Pogodbe ter Pakta za stabilnost in rast.
In particular, it does not result from an unusual event or from a severe economic downturn in 2008 in the sense of the Treaty and of the Stability and Growth Pact.
Predvsem ni posledica neobičajnega dogodka ali resnega upada gospodarske rasti v letu 2008 v smislu Pogodbe ter Pakta za stabilnost in rast.
Despite growth slowing down in the final quarter of the year, overall GDP growth in 2008 accelerated to a rate of 7,1 %, from 6 % in 2007 and significantly above the rate of potential growth.
Kljub upočasnitvi rasti v zadnjem četrtletju leta se je skupna stopnja rasti BDP v letu 2008 dvignila na 7,1 % s 6 % v letu 2007, tako da je postala bistveno večja od potencialne stopnje rasti.
Furthermore, the excess over the reference value cannot be considered temporary.
Poleg tega ni mogoče reči, da je presežek referenčne vrednosti začasen.
According to the Commission services′ spring 2009 forecast, the general government deficit is expected to reach 5,1 % of GDP in 2009 and, on a no-policy-change assumption, 5,6 % in 2010.
V skladu z napovedjo služb Komisije iz pomladi 2009 naj bi javnofinančni primanjkljaj v letu 2009 dosegel 5,1 % BDP in ob predpostavki, da se politika ne spremeni, 5,6 % BDP v letu 2010.
General government gross debt remains well below the 60 % of GDP reference value and stood at 13,6 % of GDP in 2008.
Bruto javni dolg je bil leta 2008 13,6 % BDP, torej precej pod referenčno vrednostjo 60 % BDP.
Nevertheless, according to the Commission services′ spring 2009 forecast, the debt-to-GDP ratio is anticipated to increase to 18 ¼ % in 2009 and 22 ¾ % in 2010.
Kljub temu naj bi se po napovedi služb Komisije iz pomladi 2009 delež dolga v razmerju do BDP povečal na 18 ¼ % v letu 2009 in 22 ¾ % v letu 2010.
In accordance with the Stability and Growth Pact, due consideration was given to systemic pension reforms introducing a multi-pillar system that includes a mandatory, fully-funded pillar.
V skladu s Paktom za stabilnost in rast so se ustrezno upoštevale reforme pokojninskega sistema, ki uvajajo večsteberni sistem. Ta vključuje obvezen, v celoti naložbeni pokojninski steber.
In any event, the government deficit adjusted for the pension reform cost in 2008 would be well above 3 % of GDP.
V vsakem primeru bi bil javnofinančni primanjkljaj, prilagojen za stroške pokojninske reforme v letu 2008, precej nad 3 % BDP.
In the case of Romania, this double condition is not met.
V primeru Romunije dvojni pogoj ni izpolnjen.
From an overall assessment, it follows that an excessive deficit exists in Romania.
Iz celovite ocene sledi, da v Romuniji obstaja čezmerni primanjkljaj.

This projection is based on GDP growth of – 4,0 % in 2009 and 0 % in 2010.
Ta napoved temelji na – 4,0-odstotni rasti BDP v letu 2009 in 0-odstotni v letu 2010.
The Commission services′ forecast takes into account measures for the current year in the budget for 2009 approved in February 2009 and the additional measures adopted by the government in April 2009.
V napovedi služb Komisije se upoštevajo ukrepi za tekoče leto v proračunu za leto 2009, odobrenem februarja 2009, in dodatni ukrepi, ki jih je vlada sprejela aprila 2009.
Based on the estimates of the Romanian authorities, the net costs of this reform amount to 0,2 % of GDP in 2008, 0,3 % in 2009, 0,4 % in 2010 and 0,4 % in 2011.
Na podlagi ocen romunskih organov znašajo neto stroški te reforme 0,2 % BDP v letu 2008, 0,3 % v letu 2009, 0,4 % v letu 2010 in 0,4 % v letu 2011.
According to the Stability and Growth Pact, these can be taken into account on a linear degressive basis for a transitory period and only where the deficit remains close to the reference value, which is not the case for Romania.
V skladu s Paktom za stabilnost in rast se lahko stroški upoštevajo na linearno degresivni osnovi za prehodno obdobje in le, če primanjkljaj ostaja blizu referenčne vrednosti, kar pa ne velja za Romunijo.
on the existence of an excessive deficit in Latvia
o obstoju čezmernega primanjkljaja v Latviji
Having regard to the observations made by Latvia,
ob upoštevanju pripomb, ki jih je predložila Latvija,
The 2005 reform of the Stability and Growth Pact in 2005 sought to strengthen its effectiveness and economic underpinnings as well as to safeguard the sustainability of public finances in the long run.
Leta 2005 je bil Pakt za stabilnost in rast prenovljen, da bi se okrepili njegova učinkovitost in gospodarski temelji ter ohranila dolgoročna vzdržnost javnih financ.
It aimed at ensuring that, in particular, the economic and budgetary background was taken into account fully in all steps in the EDP.
Cilj prenove pakta je bil še posebej zagotoviti, da se v vseh korakih postopka v zvezi s čezmernim primanjkljajem v celoti upošteva tudi gospodarsko in proračunsko ozadje.
Having taken into account its report in accordance with Article 104(3) of the Treaty and having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Financial Committee in accordance with Article 104(4) of the Treaty, the Commission concluded that an excessive deficit exists in Latvia.
Komisija je na podlagi svojega poročila po členu 104(3) Pogodbe in mnenja Ekonomsko-finančnega odbora po členu 104(4) Pogodbe ugotovila, da v Latviji obstaja čezmerni primanjkljaj.
The Commission therefore addressed such an opinion to the Council in respect of Latvia on 2 July 2009 [3].
Komisija je zato 2. julija 2009 Svetu predložila zadevno mnenje v zvezi z Latvijo [3].
In the case of Latvia, this overall assessment leads to the conclusion set out in this Decision.
V primeru Latvije je Svet na podlagi te celovite ocene prišel do ugotovitve v tej odločbi.
According to the April 2009 EDP notification, the general government deficit in Latvia reached 4 % of GDP in 2008, thus exceeding the 3 % of GDP reference value.
Po podatkih iz obvestila o postopku v zvezi s čezmernim primanjkljajem iz aprila 2009 je javnofinančni primanjkljaj Latvije v letu 2008 dosegel 4,0 % BDP; tako je presegel referenčno vrednost 3 % BDP.
Furthermore, the deficit was not close to the 3 % of GDP reference value.
Primanjkljaj ni bil blizu referenčne vrednosti 3 % BDP.
The excess over the reference value can, however, be qualified as exceptional within the meaning of the Treaty and of the Stability and Growth Pact.
Vendar preseganje referenčne vrednosti lahko velja za izjemno v smislu Pogodbe ter Pakta za stabilnost in rast.
In particular, it results from a severe economic downturn in the sense of the Treaty and of the Stability and Growth Pact.
Zlasti je to preseganje posledica resnega gospodarskega upada v smislu Pogodbe ter Pakta za stabilnost in rast.
According to the Commission services′ spring 2009 forecast, real GDP growth in Latvia is projected to be strongly negative in 2009, with output 13,1 % after falling by 4,6 % in 2008; more recent indicators point to an even larger contraction in 2009, of the order of 18 %.
V skladu z napovedjo služb Komisije iz pomladi 2009 naj bi bila realna rast BDP leta 2009 v Latviji močno negativna, proizvodnja pa naj bi se istega leta po 4,6-odstotnem zmanjšanju leta 2008 skrčila za 13,1 %; zadnji kazalniki kažejo celo na večje, 18-odstotno skrčenje v letu 2009.
